It's still in the early stages of development and so i'd really like to know how to improve it. I appreciate your comments.
I'm mainly looking for things to do with layout/ design, but if you hve any other comments to make please do so.

The semi-colon's between your navigations links look kinda odd. Consider maybe a pipe (|) or a dash (-) or something like that.

You mispelled "resolution" at the bottom of your main page.

The top banner looks out of place. It just doesn't seem to belong on your site. Consider something that will blend with the background.

Besides that, it looks good!

Thanks il do some spell checking and do a new banner. That banner was a temporary thing anyway so I knew where the banner would be and how it would fit with the layout. I'll make a new one tonight after work
Thanks for your input!

Ok I have done lots of spell checking so that's all fixed and I'ved change the banner, although I don't like it so that will be changing again soon.
Does anyone have any other tips?
I checked that it was compliant with the current standard and it wasn't - there were quite a few mistakes, but is it worth go through the site and fixing them all? As in, will it make any major improvements or differences?
Any other comments would be appreciated? How could I encourage people to sign up and post on the forums prehaps?

Your validation errors are really small ones. You might as well fix them. You have a bunch of missing alt attributes on images, which are easy to put in. You need to put a background attribute in css, rather than in the td tag. And you have a couple closing tags for tags that aren't open, which you can just delete. It'll take like 5 minutes.

I like the new banner

OK, that's great, thank you for your help!
--> Ok have done all the checks bar one, which I can't see what the problem is.
The Error.
I'm not too bothered, but if you could tell me what the problem is i'd appreciate it, as it's the only error on the site now and it's irritating me.
Thanks for your help!

This is the attribute it's complaining about:
This should be in css, so just change it to this:

Just some thoughts . . .

Good effort . . . your code is nice and tidy and you've made good use of nested tables. For the sake of neatness (and a couple of other reasons) I'd put all your styles into a seperate stylesheet and then call it like this:

<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Totally agree with cybersaga . . . you need to be using styles for backgrounds. Either use inline as cybersaga suggests or create them inside your styles.css file and call them like this:

.mystyle {
background-image:url('images/MiniTablTopLeft_01.gif');
}

<td width="50" class="mystyle">

Also I'm pretty sure that the width attribute is deprecated and so you should be using styles for that too

Hope that helps some!

It does, thnak you.
I appreciate all the help and comments I have been given

I've done all the validation errors and modified some of the design aspects (like the navigation). Can you see anyhting else that needs to be done?
Thanks,
