Hi Andriy,

Welcome to the forum.

We have a decent collection of web designers on the forum. Perhaps you should get together and form an association and pass work on to each other. There is also a lot of good representation of complementary areas such as finance, law, etc.

Nice set of clients you have.

PS. As you are a webdesigner, I am surprised to see so much table and old style mark up on your site.

EEP! No doctype and you repeated some head data twice! Also, that keyword list isn't Google friendly :P Table's are good for site layout, providing you don't use the height attribute, and the border attribute should always be '0' nowadays. Also, remember your alt attribute for images, even if it empty.

An alt="" in the hand is better than a w3c non-compliant website in the bush (what?)

Andriy,

Welcome along to the forum.
Given the posts above I am almost scared to say that I really like the look and layout of your site.

oops.... I should have mentioned that I too like the look of your website, just a little surprised about what is going on under the hood. Cobbler's children syndrome perhaps?

Hi Andriy

I really like the features on your website - like the Google vouchers, design competition and news section

Hello Andriy,
I also like your site :)
Doesn't concern me how it is designed tbh, I just like the design. Welcome to the forums.

Thanks for replays.

About website. Well It was designed quite a while ago and in a rush. I know the code structure should be improved but I do not have much time to do it, and at the moment there is no great need in that.
Most of the clients comes from personal contacts.

Hi

I'm a Virtual Assistant, who also offers web design.

I noticed a couple of typos on the randomly selected pages I looked at - About Compny on the bottom navigation bar and Our Personal on the About page should be Personnel, I think.

Hope you settle in here - it's a really useful group.

Thanks coxadmin you are ritght.

The strange thing is you know your site far from perfect, but when other people point it out it fills quiet embarrassing.
So probably it will inspire me to sit down and sort it out.

Alternatively you could ask a Virtual Assistant like me to proofread it for you. Please PM me if I can be of service.

I did my own site first (v. amateur), then a customer offered to tidy it for free, then his employer did a bit and now its back to me - and I've done nothing!

I did some market research couple month ago on current poll subject and statistic pretty much the same. Only 20 - 25% use professionals to do they website and from this number around 40% done by companies specialising on web design, others from different sectors of IT.
