Tim I think you misunderstood what I was asking... I was looking for a tip
on how to get the footer to actually extend to the foot of the page, I
pasted the code so people could see how the code was done.  I agree Tables
aren't the way to lay things out but I needed to get this done fast and then
good... ;-)  I will be refactoring it again and again.  I basically don't
understand why specific containers when given 100% height aren't extending
to 100%.... Thanks for the advice on the email address... I will do a C#
contact form... again... I was doing this fast, then correct.  I had 12 hrs
to do it.  :-)  

Thanks

Travis

Dear Travis,

You are asking a lot for a cut and paste job that it may take a lot of 
study to appreciate why you cannot slap a compliant site together with 
cut and paste and you should employ someone to make a template you can 
work with.

Your page validates, but is not accessible. A couple of suggestions.

It needs some meta META tags in the header. Language, Creation date 
content, keywords, etc.
<meta name="Author"content="You" />
<meta name="language" content="en-uk" />

Using tables for layout requires much more attention to table headers 
and a summary.
<th colspan="1" abbr="mobilephone"scope="col"title="About 
us">Services</th>

You will be spammed to death with your email address in the page, 
create a contact page or hide the email address in some javascript.
onclick="JavaScript:window.location='&#109;'+'ail'+'to:' etc etc

I had a few jobs making memorial webpages for deceased family members, 
offer clients an option of a memorial webpage, but contract the work 
out.
