Review please topdepo.com ranklist - 2/15/2004 11:50:01   
We developed a www.topdepo.com ranklist of the best websites and as we expect participation in this ranklist would increase traffic and link popularity.

We will greatly appreciate any your opinion on the following issues:
is this a useful project?
will it work well?
are there any bad or good points?

A few problems I notice that makes the web site rather hard to read.
1) The web site does not stand out in 800x600. You must scroll over to the right in order to see the whole page.
2) The width of any sub page, ie about us page, is very wide, and thus using a small font, makes the text a little bit harder to read. I wouldn't use such a small font if you are going to have it be so wide.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<!-- "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"-->

Don't define doctype like this. I'm glad you've taken the effort to define one, but this is the wrong way. The URI to DTD file is inside comments, so the browser can't "see" it.

The right way is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

The site looks great, but don't use tables for layout if you really don't need to do so. It confuses the search engines.

Use CSS over HTML. THe browser gets headache. To know what I mean, click here (it's your site):
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.topdepo.com%2F

Oh... When I said use CSS over HTML, I mean that e.g. don't use <font> tag, but use CSS. Same applies to <body> tag's bgcolor etc.

And one thing I forgot to mention.
Tables are built like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>

And not like this:
<table>
<td></td>
</table>

That's why the validator complains about the TD's.

Good luck validating!
Regards,
Bamse
