Need honest site review

I could use your expertise with this new site of mine:

The tool is free for the community to use...I only need feedback on
the design.

Let me know if I should change anything...

Thanks!

Then why post it in an HTML critique form?

Important functions are not available if Javascript is disabled.

Use of XHTML Transitional DTD (doctype). All new work should be using
Strict.
A mountain of validation errors. (See <http://validator.w3.org/>)
Despite the DTD much of the coding does not adhere to the language syntax.
Browser sniffing. Boo! Hiss!
The text is generally too small to read. 76%! You have something against
readability? And then the text color is a medium gray further lowering
readability. After increasing the text size 150% to make it readable, most
of the login content disappeared.
Poor use of markup. (It is the HyperText MARKUP Language.) For example,
<h4> is used to for visually bolding and sizing text, not as a header
element; there is not h1, h2 or h3, i.e., no header hierarchy. (Hint:
Search engines are fond of meaningful <h1>.)
Another example: No header used where one would be appropriate.
"<p>Extremely Stable, fast and secure <br> ..." "Extremely..." should be a
header, not just part of the paragraph.
