There is lot's of repetitive code, and your site doesn't use proper semantics....
For example,
PHP Code:
//This is a case where you should use the heading tags, //conducive of a semantically
//correct page. <h1>Database Technologies</h1> Then you can
//set the specifics of the h1 tag in your css document//
<p class="page_heads">Database Technologies</p>
//You don't need a table for your current design, you could
//have used the CSS Box Model, some excellent examples of
//your layout type, without tables; can be found here -
//[url]http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ThreeColumnLayouts[/url]
<table style="{width: 747px;}">
<tr>
// If you are specifying a class you should add relative sizes in
//that class also like width: 132 px; it could be added to your
//current style sheet //
<td class="td_top2" style="{width: 132px;}">
// Alternative text is important, it describes the picture that
//you are showing in a manner that could explain it should
//your picture not show up, or the end user not be able to
//see it. //
<img src="man_laptop.jpg" height="157" width="132" />
// One Paragraph in this whole page when in fact there
//are very many paragraphs //
<p style="{padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 2px;}">
"Managing data effectively has become imperative to a
company’s success. The Relational DBMS implements this
effective management while maintaining the relationships of
business data from a human perspective."
<br />

</td>
// Again, why specify a class if you aren't going to use it //
<td class="td_top" style="{width: 385px;padding-left: 5px;padding-right: 5px;}">
// Semantics again, this would be an effective place to
//use the <h2> tag, and save colour and sizing information
//with the style sheet <h2>The Database Domain</h2> //
<font color="#990000">The Database Domain</font>
// <br /> Is not a spacing tool, it represents a new line //
<br />
// This is a new paragraph <p> you could place spacing
//requirements and stipulations on the <p> in CSS such that
//you wouldn't have to use <br /> so repetitively //
Database Systems are at the heart of every efficient
business. Because all companies rely on various levels
of data for daily functions, managing data effectively
has become imperative to a company’s success. Such
is the purpose for the database domain – to store and
manage various forms of data while adding competitive
advantage through the efficiencies of modern technology.
<br /><br />
Additionally, your documents do not specify a document type, however, it appears that you have coded something very close to xhtml 1.0 transitional. Which is a good thing. But you need to tell the browsers that you are using that Document Type Definition, or else they won't render your page correctly.
There is a couple more things regarding your linking structure, but I'm not sure how far you want to go with this. So for now, I'm done.
The site renders properly in both IE, and FF, but it's a little bit overbloated with respect to the code. I didn't really pay much attention to the content...
