Lindy,

You need to create tables in your html. Divide your page up into several colums and rows. The way you have it now is allowing text and images to run together.

(no good) - while merged cells are fine in IE they are best avoided for your netscape visitors ------------------ ___ cap travel image portfolio http://www.chris-laker.co.uk (in reply to Guest)

Lindy,

You may want to consider placing the links to the other pages of the site in the left hand column (or may be the top row) of the tables(if you choose to use tables). They seem to be a bit lost at the bottom of the page.

Also include ALT text for the images to say which store they are, the images could probably be ok if they are slightly (75%) smaller, including those for the Suppliers.

Thanks Phil

Hi Lindy.

Yes, tables will help tremendously. And when you get to it, if you have the need, there should be no problems merging cells. I do it all the time. The key, as in all other aspects of web design, is to be sure you test constantly in both Netscape and IE as you are building your site.

You could stand to make everything on your page smaller, not only linearly (is that a word?) but in file size as well. It is taking forever to load. You need to optimize/compress your graphics.

It would be wise to include some sort of navigation near the top of your page, and you need to keep navigation consistent throughout your site...same place...same links.

You have a good start. I would recommend giving the suggestions given so far some attention, then resubmitting for another critique.

Hope this has helped.
