site check, feedback please

hola,

i've gotten to the point with my current site that i wanted to get some
feedback from people in the community. the site isn't finished, and most of the
content text will be changed, but what i'm really looking for is feedback on
layout, functionality and usability. so anything you guys (and gals) can
critique on would be great.

thanks
christoff

Here's what your site looks like to a search engine, or a screen reader:

Here's what it looks like in my browser:

Sure sign of an amateur designed site:

"This site optimized for
use with
Internet Explorer 6
click here to download"

It would appear that it was only designed to work in IE because your
menu items in the Services menu expand beyond the containing <div> when
viewed in Firefox.

The text (all contained in images) is blurry, too small, and almost
unreadable.

Clicking any of the "null" links triggers a JavaScript error because you
have used "javascript:void()" for the link instead of
"javascript"void(0)", or just "javascript:;".

thanks for the input, gary. i'll work on the things you mentioned.

one thing...i've been trying to rework the menu into something similar to what
you have on apptools, but i just can't get it to work...hence why there's still
images for the menu. i'd like to get a pop-up menu structure to work that uses
cells as links instead of text/images...think you could help me out or point me
to a good tutorial that covers it? all i've been seeing so far is the css info,
but i can't seem to get it to work right. i've gotten the base menu
(home,company,services,links) to work, but then the p7 menus get all screwed
up. i'm at a loss.

thanks
christoff

CSS
-------------

a { display:block; }

HTML
-------------
<td><a href="link.html">A link</a></td>
<td><a href="link2.html">Another link</a></td>

But to get it to work correctly x-browser, you'll need to assign a width
to it.

It's all just CSS and show/hide layers. View the source. The JavaScript
is all just straight MM stuff at:

The CSS is at:
