The site looks clean and simple. Good job.
Your homepage has a single validation error. Simply change this line:
- Code: Select all
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
...to this instead:
- Code: Select all
<html>
...and your page will then be valid
HTML Transitional, which is a jolly good start. In terms of coding, the next step would be to validate against a strict doctype (
HTML 4.01 Strict).
Clearly your site is just starting up, and lacks content. Nevertheless, be alert to your writing. Get straight to the point, especially on your homepage. For example:

That paragraph is completely redundant. It says nothing interesting, but it does distract the reader. Remove it, and your message becomes clearer.
As swagner said, never be shy of asking "stupid" questions. Socrates asked a lot of "stupid" questions, and always ended up winning the argument.
To be honest, he won because Plato rigged it that way; but even so, a wise man asks questions that a fool would think stupid. To acquire knowledge, cultivate an enquiring mind.
(And swagner: of course I don't mind being quoted. We writers are all monstrous egotists at heart, even if some of us affect modesty. We love being quoted, just as cats love being stroked.
