I like the layout, simple, clean, good content. Just maybe not sure but alot of white space on the main page.

Allright, what do you think now? I tightened up the design of most of the site.
I figured out how to shrink the width of the css table, and I shrunk most of the site down in order to minimize scrolling.

Hi C.Quill,
I'm just wonderin' if cmonova meant that where the content is actually written there is too much white space, not in the background itself ?
There seems alot of wasted space ! I have to scroll down and down and down and down ...

20" monitor and Firefox 2.5.3: big white space to the right of the content. As others have said, there seems to be a lot of wasted space. Otherwise, good job

Is that a typo, or are you using an old ass version of Firefox?
I'm presuming typo, as I'm using 3.5.3 lol
As mentioned above the right has a large white space (Opera 10) but it does look nice what you have but perhaps the intent was in relation to the white behind the actual content...perhaps a sublte change there would improve the look and maybe a bit more fade + extension of the background since it does look rather good, least I think so.

Allrighty, how's it look now. I can't thank you all enough.
I like it better (bit more background coverage now) and viewed in both Opera and Firefox and this is what I see, not sure if you intend to fill the page or cutoff on the right or not.

Still need to fix the background.
Your starting to use your vertical space more wisely. But I don't like how your list of services is placed. Everything is centered-vertically, then when you come to the services, the are on the right, and out of alignment. Maybe put that picture as a watermark, and have the text over-lapping the watermark?
The links at the bottom is another waste of vertical space. If you MUST have them there, why not put them horizontally like the ones at the top ? Maybe not use that whole bar, just plain text like they are not, just horizontal, not vertical.
Other than that it looks quite clean.

I like your website, but I feel that the navigational links on the bottom of the page look kind of strange and don't fit the whole layout. If you think about it, they're rather pointless to have if you have them on the top already. Just put a "Back to Top" link or something.
In addition, you come up with 3 errors when it's put through the XHTML validator. They're really simple errors. so you should fix them and add the validation image when you do.
Other than that, everything looks right and fits the feel of a PC repair website.

Allright, how about now?
I couldn't figure out how to correct the errors.
What's the point of being validated and having the logo?
Does it affect SEO or something?

You ensure cross-browser and cross-platform support by having your code validated.
It looks better now.
I took the liberty of fixing your errors for the validation:
Code:
For line 77, replace this:
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Integrity-Honesty-Privacy-Respect-Professionalism</em></p>
</span></p>
With this:
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">
<em>Integrity-Honesty-Privacy-Respect-Professionalism</em>
</span></p>
Code:
For line 80, replace this:
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.nacrbo.com/static.php?q=code_of_conduct"><strong>ACRBO Code of conduct</strong></a></p>
</span></p>
With this:
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><a target="_blank"
href="http://www.nacrbo.com/static.php?q=code_of_conduct"><strong>ACRBO Code of conduct</strong></a>
</span></p>The reason you received those errors is because you added too many <p> and </p> where they were not needed.
Also, it only passed tentatively, because you your <meta> tag is rather strange and I'm not quite sure why it's in the format it's in. Until you change it to something like this:
Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />It will not validated unless it's changed.
Anyway, it looks good now that the repetitive navigation on the bottom was removed.
