Well, this is my personal site, I have been working on it a lot, and want to get some comments on: Accessibility, Design, Spelling/Grammer, and just how you like/dislike it overall.


I have worked hard to try to make sure that my document is accessible, it passes the WAI validation check , passes section 508 standards, has a text menu that is displayed if the user doesn't have flash, and it even has a print-media stylesheet It is both valid XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2.0.

I would like to know what your immediate ideas/suggestions are when you view this site, what I need to change/add/do, and overall how you'd rate my site

Well, without further ado, just get on with it!

Thanks,
Josh

Has a nice, clean design. I also like the images in the background, they add a lot to the site, gives it a nice atmosphere. Good job!

i really like this. good job, sir. one thing i'd change, but it's just a personal preference, but i would remove the border on your frame and maybe indent it from the right by, say, 50 pixels. but other than that, it's really nice

keep up the good work...

Beautiful display, and did not take long to load on a 56k dialup either (always appreciated!)

The only criticism I have is having to scroll vertically to see the bottom of the interior frame (resolution at 1024x768). I don't mind scrolling for the footer info. However, it's a minor point and fixing it would likely mess up the harmony with the background.

Good job.

Yeah, I used to have dial-up, so I know how it is :P

And I know, its really bad, and I should get it to fit on smaller resolutions, but it makes the whole content area smaller.. and I haven't quite gotten it to look right lol

Thanks!
Josh

Well, I don't see why not, I mean if the user doesn't have flash, a text version is automaticly displayed, so its 100% compatible
