This site was recently designed and hosted. Please critique and be brutal!. Also, what would some of you guys charge for it if you designed this site as is, before any changes you suggest. Thanks in advance...

When I use the "Speak-It" extension in Firefox to simulate what a person using a screen reader would hear, it doesn't make much sense.

If you're not comfortable laying a site out with CSS, then perhaps you could at least use CSS to remove a lot of the unnecessary markup from the code of each page into a separate style sheet. You could use margins and padding instead of spacer images that way too.

It also doesn't quite resize to 800x600.

It's a nice looking site but really it could easily be done using CSS to lay it out and remove all of that messy code. It's probably a good site to start learning CSS on.

As Nicole said, plus you should also fill in the alt elements so that users would know where all the mousing will take them (not to mention making it more accessible :))

There is no doctype for these pages, so get yourself onto Firefox and download the Web Developer extension, make the site validate and maybe you could charge for it then. As it is I wouldn't pay anything for this job, pretty though it is - you are excluding a lot of users and as a business I would see that as a poor investment.

Well, you did ask. :)
