[WSG] Site Check Please (Clattco)
Hello All, I would like to know if I have made any huge gaffes with this site (http://www.smashingred.com/clientspace/clattco/). Nearly complete and just requires copywriting completion. Specifically the following are of interest: Rendering on mac in Safari and IE, Usability, Mistakes I may have made out of ignorance, Issues of semantics etc, and Accessibility (not required by client but I want to get better at this). All opinions are welcome. If there are mistakes out of ignorance please point me to a reference for correction. Sincerely, Jay Gilmore ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

With larger text sizes, your sidebar headings become white on white. I'd suggest vertically expanding that background image, or setting a similar background color along with the image. That and a few things like empty paragraph elements and stray /div on some of the pages. Last (and probably least), a future-proofing warning: If you ever decide to serve that site as xhtml instead of text/html, it'll break because of the content of your style elements. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Nevermind, it might not. I've become so paranoid that I tend to enclose any non-xml/html in cdata's because I serve as xml, but in your case, I don't think it'd break. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

I will be shortening the title for the See What Our Clients Are Saying heading but increasing the size of the background image is a great idea as well. Thanks. I know that there are some empty p /p elements as I am still placing copy. Just wanted to ask for opinions and suggestions at this stage. Thanks for the help and all the best, Jay ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
