A few practical notes that will make it much easier for volunteers to help and will get you better, faster feedback. : asking for a review of ten whole sites is a lot — narrow the request to one representative page per site (home page, a template page, or one with a complex form). was right that quick checks are simple, but reviewers can only do detailed audits when the scope is small and focused.

A short, non‑technical checklist you can run yourself before asking others:

  • Open the page, read the tab title and the main headings: do they match the content?
  • Look for obvious missing image descriptions or unlabeled form fields.
  • Resize your browser window to check basic mobile behavior.
  • Press F12 (Developer Tools) and glance at the Console for errors and the Network panel for very large files.
  • Copy the first lines of the page source (doctype, meta charset, title) and include them when asking for help.

A tiny example (modern recommended doctype):

<!DOCTYPE html>

How to post a request that gets action: include a single URL, a 1–2 sentence goal (for example: "check markup validity and missing alt attributes"), the browser and device where you saw problems, one screenshot of the visible issue, and the page head (first ~50 lines) if comfortable. If you want validation only, say so; if you want accessibility or performance tips, say that instead. Clear, small, and specific requests get answered quickly.

Validation is only the first step: passing a validator finds syntax problems but doesn’t guarantee good accessibility, semantics, or performance. Prioritize the single biggest user-facing issue and ask about that — reviewers here will be far more likely to dig in.

Michelle,

While links are permitted in this particular sub-forum, generally those links are to sites you are trying to develop, to illustrate a particular problem. This was a judgment call on my part, and I elected to remove the list of sites from your post.

You can validate sites on your own, by visiting the w3.org validators, and entering the urls in question.

No, I don't know how to use the validation programs, nor would even understand why they aren't validated, as I'm not a coder.

I was also asking for more than just whether they are validated, but I guess I won't get any help on this board.

I think you can expect help. But you listed, if I recall, about 10 sites! I think it would be expecting too much to ask anyone to do an exhaustive XHTML & CSS review, for free, of even one site, let alone nearly a dozen.

Those validators are very simple to use. For example, I clicked your sig to go to your site. I copied the URL from the address bar, then went to the validator page I hyperlinked for you above. One of the options is to validate markup by simply entering a URL and clicking a button. I pasted in your URL, clicked "Check", and viola!:

This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

Congratulations. If there were any problems, the validator would tell you exactly what the problem is, and where it's located on the page.

There. I helped you, see?
