Need expert opinions on the overall usability & understanding of our site!!! Thanks
 

Hey everyone,

We recently updated some things on our corporate site and are looking for valuable constructive criticism from anyone who is willing to take a look. Most important, were looking to see if our site makes sense as to what our firm offers as well as the overall usability!

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Fast, valid html,
but

tables are not used for layout that is the function of CSS
fixed pixel sizes are not used for tables when tables are used
with a fixed size layout

there is either blank borders around the content
or the page develops horizontal scroll bars when opened in small browsers
( huge growth in cellphone browsers )
or at less than fullscreen on regular pcs.

fixed font sizes are not used, they are not accessible
W3C standards specify ems & %age for all onscreen elements except elements that are fixed size
(

<img width='xx' height='yy'>

)
Fixed font sizes ensure that visually impaired users cannot zoom the text size to make it visible,

google the lawsuit results against Target,
punitive damages now a precedent has been set are likely to escalate, rapidly

24inch hidef monitor is 2480px high, the 11px set for the body text, is 1/10 inch high, invisible,
on a cell phone fixed pixel sizes mean there may be ONE line of text onscreen,
If the font were correctly set in EMs, text automatically resizes to user preference and the device
BrowserShots.org is a great tool to check what the site looks like on other devices/OS/browsers to which you do not have access, and what effects changes to code have
Opera Mini, cell phone emulator, lets you see what your site looks like on a cell phone browser, its a shock.
