Site Critique

[gtrufitt]

Hi, please have a look at my site and let me know what you think. If possible please critique the coding as this is what I wish to improve on most. I know there are probably alot of errors within it but if you could give me some pointers on how i can clean up the xhtml and css it would be much appreciated! Thanks, Gareth Trufitt Creations - Home

use a page container in your style sheet, have a look at this: Creating a CSS layout from scratch : Subcide

The lack of text, what you see and what the spider sees are two different things and appearing under the site title isn't good enough for exposure.

Flash
you need to flash it up. that what your banner is right.
for the simple layout your shooting for drop the html and css. depending on
your level in flash.
Beyond basics html & css are weak by todays standards. your top banner could be your site.
just big and white and thin, your work and focus point would be colorful and big

site size 800x800 - 1200x1200 inside a html doc
depending on who you care sees it.

and on search engines; i viewed your source code and your on the right track. just cram your meta full of stuff. the one and only time you will hear that out of my mouth.
