I Need Help/Criticism on my site. HTML issues ?

[arecapp]

I need help making my site look uniform in Firefox, Netscape, IE. . The link is http://www.flacomputersecurity.com .   Also I would like to know what the charactor encoding should be on the first line. Im not sure if it is HTML 4.0 or 4.1 . Finally, Is there any good programs that can help identify errors in your html and possibly fix them?

Thanks for anybodys response

Either HTML 4.0 or 4.1 is fine.  First hot tip: if you want to make a professional-looking website, start by looking at some professional websites.  Try to emulate their design features.  Generally, using images instead of text is to be avoided - it makes your website load more slowly, and prevents it from being used by visually impaired users.  Second hot tip: learn CSS.  Google for a tutorial.

The best way of identifying errors in HTML is to use the >W3C HTML Validation Service<.

I'm not heavily into web design, but this website has proven to be very useful because it incorporates the latest standards. Well, at least it did when I last looked;

By the way, I'm not a capitalist and certainly not an entrepreneur, but you really shouldn't list what you're doing to do with the computer (Under the "rates" section) because people'll just think they can do it themselves and you'll be out of a job. Or they'll screw up and you'll get even more work. I suppose it works both ways.

Until you actually get your forum up, you might either remove the link to it or put a comment on the forum page that the forum is forthcoming, rather than just leave the page blank.

On the home page, at bottom, you could use image mapping on the image for Free Security Programs to create hyperlinks to the image.  Then, you might eliminate the table below the image.  That way, you would not have the duplication of the image and the table.

Why is http://www.flacomputersecurity.com/security_tips.html different from the other pages?  Consistency is generally a good principle to follow.

http://www.flacomputersecurity.com/faqs.html is another blank page.

The link to Home, from http://www.flacomputersecurity.com/security_tips.html, does not work.  Neither does the link to SERVICES.

-Remove the google and avg stuff
-Center the contents of the page...it looks cleaner than a left alignment imo.
-Reorder your links as show below.  I say this because usually contact is the last link on a page.  
Services
Rates
Links
Contact
-The free antivirus, spyware removal and firewall links should come down...because its taking away from your own services...What would stop people from just downloading those programs and figuring them out for themselves instead of you doing it for them and charging your own labor fee?  

Hope that helps
