css valid xhtml web site review

Hi,

I just did a villa rental website for my customer. that website not finished yet. Will someone please review it for me?

checked ff and ie. that website based on css and valid xhtml.

Please Advise. Thanks.

Here's the link

 

Try some more padding for those boxes. Also, does the site really warrant the valid html/css links down the bottom? There's not really a point of having those for a site dealing with holiday villas. If it was a web design company, i'd undestand more.

Other then that, not bad.

 

The block of text on the top is way too long: split it up in multiple paragraphs, especially since you're using a very small font which makes sifting hard. The text in the footer is a bit hard to read because of the background, I'd suggest you make the dark-colored stripes a bit lighter. Apart from that, it looks pretty good!

 

is that problem to put valid xhtml and valid css buttons_?
if u can check yes i've got validation on w3

thanks for your comments i will change that immediately on footer.

 

It's not a problem putting them on your site, but I ask, why have you choosen to do so?

Are your potential clients going to be clicking on them with amazement that your page validates? I think not.

From a design standpoint, the sites not bad. I'm not a designer so cannot comment, but I like it and it is certainly pleasant.

The code looks like a bomb site though, (not that that's a problem). It may help you to maintain the code if you followed a more rigid style of indentation.

Some other parts of your code really annoy me, also, valid code doesn't mean good code. I especially think your use of the <div> tag is overused in this case,

<div class="welcome">
Kleo Cottages consists of a grouping of six completely......  rather than that of a clich&eacute; 'holiday let'.</div>

</div>

Code (markup):

Is there not a more semantic tag that could have been used?

<div class="linkler">
<ul>
...
</ul>
</div>

Code (markup):

There is no need at all for this <div>. A list is a block level element, as is a div.

You have also not used any heading tags, (<h1>...<h6>). I think your code would benefit from the use of these tags.

The links inside your footer also look they should be a list of links. A <ul> would add more meaning to them.

I don't mean to sound to harsh, these are just my comments (which are pretty much worthless).

Just my $0.02

 

IMO you need to add some padding 10px. to the bottom boxes. Increased the font size 1point and change the lineheight of the paragraph to about 16-18px:

you may also want to consider changing the font color to white or something with a higher contrast.

At the very least I concur with the others and would add 10px padding to everything so it can breathe easier. Visually everything is very compact and is somewhat overwhelming to look at.

My Two Cents.

 

What can i say is that you did a great job, this site is very indexable by majority of search engines like Google or Yahoo and Live Search , i like also the colors, but you can remove the images with CSS Strict and Valid Xhtml, i know is for Search Engines Purpose and visitors can see that, but dose-t suits good for the site.

Good Luck!

thx for your comments you are right all of this. i'm going to fix these problems. if you wouldnt say i would forget to use hx tags. that is important for pages. and you know that webpage prepared for english customers. they are accepting only english people for to take a holiday on their villas. maybe you heard something about my small town which is "kalkan"

i think i can't change font color white cause background is grey but i will try with more paddings

why i'm going to put some images and links on footer like valid xhtml valid css etc. that is for seo. i'm not profession about css design but i'm training about seo before 1,5 years. i'm giving a link to popular pages which is w3.org and i think that is + value for me.
thank you all for your comments
