Hey. I would love some feedback on a new site I'm working on:

http://www.thebankruptcysite.com

It's not 100% finished - still have a handful of info and links to sort through, but any input and suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks! -Joy

Oh, and I've never done a frames page before, but I needed to use one on this one page of the site:

http://www.thebankruptcysite.com/find_an_attorney.htm

Appears to be working properly for me in ie and nn 6, but my client mentioned that he couldn't see all the content in the main frame on a mac (unsure of browser). If anyone may know the problem?

Ask your client what specifically is missing when viewing on the mac. Also give him the url of the page that is within the frames to see if he can view that alright on it's own.

It's looking good. I can't think of any suggestions right now.

Very professional appearance on the site. Good job. Here are a few things I noticed:

-Meta keywords are capitalized and don't have commas in between (does this matter?).
- On your neat menu near the top, "Rebuild Credit" scrunches into the little black triangle.
-FAQ's should not have an apostrophe.

It's always those simple little things...FAQs...that getcha! Thanks.

That's an interesting point about the meta tags. I've done sites different ways - no caps, first letter cap, all caps, commas, no commas...I read somewhere (I think on searchenginewatch.com ) that you get the best results with the first letter capitalized and no commas. Reasoning was something like:

1. If someone does a search for "Widgets," some search engines will only display results for "Widgets" but not "widgets." However, if a search is done for "widgets," both "widgets" and "Widgets" will show up in the results. Basically, your site gets pulled up more often if your first letter is in caps.
2. You get more words into the same space without commas and the engine can then make phrases out of all of the words.

Don't know how much truth there is to all of this, but I've seen pretty good results using this method, so I'm sticking with it.

Unfortunately, that mac incident was a one time thing. He happened to be somewhere with a mac in the room, pulled it up... After digging for more info, seems like the missing info occurred when clicking from the frames page onto the "arizona" page, and none of the page text showed up but the photo and heading did. The more I think about this, the more it just sounds like a page loading issue, not a frames issue.

Has anyone noticed any problems with load time?

Thanks for helping!

What happened to the "edit" button??? Now I'll appear as incompetent at typing as I actually am

Here's that url, spelled correctly:

"arizona"
