I'm doing a basic layout for some clients. Just wanted to get some
opinions. I'm pretty new to CSS but I think i've got a pretty good handle
on it. Any comments?

Cheers!

looks nice, and both the XHTML & CSS validate. well done.

The only thing that really bothers me is that the red font is rather
difficult to read. You might consider replacing it with something more
readable.
oh, and calander is a misspelling - should be calendar.

Thanks Denise,

I apprieciate your comments. I was kinda thinking the same thing myself.
I'll look into another color alternative. Thanks again.

It's not the color that bothers me - red is fine - but the font itself is
hard to read ~~~

personally, I wouldn't use as many graphics - practially the whole site,
including most of the content, is comprised of graphics. Bitmaps, while
they look nice and are cross browser, have lots of disadvantages. They are
harder to maintain, can't be influenced by CSS (other than positioning),
cannot be transformed via XSLT, take up more bandwidth uncompressed, cannot
be compressed much (if you are using HTTP compression), etc. etc. etc. I'm
sure others would concur, but I personally would never display content
(including content headings) with graphics.

almost forgot.. search engines can't pick up what's in the graphics,
either.

It's only a mock page for clients to look at and approve. And also, did you
see I had posted a second version that has some verbage the client wanted me
to include. I'm not planning on making the whole site images, though. Heres
the second version if you would care to check it out.

But thanks for your comments. I apprieciate that people take time out to
help others.

Thanks

Impressive! (I agree with Denise on the red image header text. Perhaps
going darker may increase the readability. At the moment the red text looks
a little fuzzy - no doubt the font-selection is a part of the problem).

ermm... your alt text needs some work, at least briefly describe the special
offers for instance. Probably title attributes are better to capture the
list of features of each phone.

Your version 2 is much better IMHO as it resizes nicely to almost any
window width. If you sell phones, it is perfectly OK to show pictures of
phones, just they should not make your layout too rigid (principally in
width), so you should arrange the picts in a way to maintain fluidity
and flexibility of the design.

Alt text on smalllogo.jpg should be "".

This bit:

<img src="images/header.jpg" class="header" alt="Genesis Technologies" />
....
<h1>Welcome To Genesis Technologies</h1>
<h2>A free phone with thousands of free minutes is not always the "BEST DEAL" for you</h2>
<h2>What you need to know when choosing a wireless carrier:</h2>

Should probably be:

<h1><img src="images/header.jpg" class="header" alt="Genesis Technologies" /></h1>
<h2 class="welcome">Welcome To Genesis Technologies</h2>
<p><strong class="very">A free phone with thousands of free minutes is not
always the "BEST DEAL" for you</strong></p>
<h2>What you need to know when choosing a wireless carrier:</h2>

And then styled with CSS to look like you already have it. This is a more
logical heading structure.

Erm, isn't that middle phone picture the ancient original analogue flip
phone that I had at least 6 years ago?
