I'd appreciate if you folks could take a look at my website and help me out with some suggestions. I know it's lacking (in many areas), but it just "feels" wrong for a business site. Any help/suggestions would be great! I'm more or less lost and in over my head with it, but I need to get it done. |

http://www.bdpcsvc.com Ok thanks. I corrected the coding per the validation and compressed the images. |
text instead of images. Images can reasonably be used to supplement the
text.
Also, use of things like <br /> instead of styling elements is not a good
idea.

You would be better off making them a list of anchor links using normal text instead of images. Images can reasonably be used to supplement the text.

So basically forgo the graphics for the menu links? What about something at the top for a banner display graphic? |
that it's box displays before it is loaded and the page won't redraw
itself as the thing loads. I would also optimize it as much as possible.
I often use big text in styled <h1>, <h2>, etc., in place of banners.
You might be surprised at what you can pull out of big text using styling
of colors if you fiddle with it a while.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I think it looks much better than
