Hi Richard, Very good work! Very nice web site! My suggestions: 1. The XHTML 1.0 recommendation states that both lang and xml:lang attributes should be used when specifying the language of an element. The value of the xml:lang attribute takes precedence. 2. The style attribute has been used but a default style sheet language has not been defined (note that HTML Validator would not see this declaration if it is sent as an HTTP header by a web server). HTML 4.01 and XHTML require this for valid documents. For example, include this in the head section of your document to specify text/css as the default style sheet language: meta http-equiv=Content-Style-Type content=text/css /. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#default-style Good luck, John --- John S.

RE: [WSG] Page Check: www.qm-consulting.co.uk/test/indextest
sites need to be aesthetically pleasing as well as accessible and CSS and DOM scripting gives us more than enough power to do both. agreed, It would be hard to get customer sign off on such adesign, even soits quick loading and accessible. Perhaps you could sit down with a graphic designer to work more visual elements into your site and improve the overall look and feel? good idea: another option is to look for pre-designedtemplates(cringe)-free or otherwise. -kvnmcwebn

Looks great m8 , only I would do a better header /logo that one is a bit fuzzy or it's supposed to be like that!? 2005/11/4, QM Consulting Ltd [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have been following this list with interest for some time and I am currently working on creating my web site.

Matter of fact, a slightly darker value of grey for the main text would improve things, as well. I mean, your site is about accessibility, right? ;-) Cheers, Scott ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
RE: [WSG] Page Check: www.qm-consulting.co.uk/test/indextest
Hi Richard, Your content is indeed usable, accessible, semantic and valid,but if I was a potential client of yours, I wouldn't be saying, 'Wow, that site looks great, I hope my site will look like that'. I'm not trying to put you down, I'm simply giving you my honestopinion. Now maybe I'm completely out of touch and maybe all our sites should look like Jacob Neilson's but from my experience, sites need to be aesthetically pleasing as well as accessible and CSS and DOM scripting gives us more than enough power to do both. Perhaps you could sit down with a graphic designer to work more visual elements into your site and improve the overall look and feel? I think it would be worthwhile. Also, what is the business case for needing the W3C badges, really?
