Hello,
I have created my new site in FP2003 and I would like to know what you all
think of the functionality. I have read some of the critques that have been
done about other sites and I think I need the honesty that you can supply.

Thank you very much for all the help that I have needed along the way,

loads fast, navigates easily, looks pretty professional, what more could you
need? ;-)

I didn't check the source code and only looked at it with Internet Explorer
6 but it was OK for me.

Very Nice Looking Site.
Nice to see pages for a change, that don't require wearing sun glasses to view.

It's a nice looking page.

You may want to consider providing a family for your font style rule (and in
the direct use of <font> tags) -

a:active { font-family: Microsoft Sans Serif }

Not everyone will necessarily have this font installed.

I don't see any problems otherwise.

On my screen using Netscape 7.1, the paragraphs on the second half of
the first page run outside the border into the blue background. Starts
with the second paragraph under "Cut Accounting Costs"

Wow.... a really nice looking site pretty cool job Regina congrats!

A couple of small things hit me as I went to the various pages......

On the main menu you might (emphasis MIGHT) want to do something to further
distinguish between employer links and employee links. Again.... minor minor
minor point.

You might move the contact us link up under home
Put a title for employer Links or something like that... put the employer
links under it.. and do the same for the employee. Anyway..... just a
thought.

The only other thing that jumped at me was the organization of the FAQ
pages. You might want to consider putting the questions at the top of the
page with a bookmark link to the question and answer. That way the user can
scan a list of questions quickly to see if their question is one of those
listed. Again.... a minor minor minor point and really just an opinion that
may only be worth $ 0.02 ! :)

You should be real proud of your work and I hope they paid you a bunch of
money for it!

Best to you........

I also just took a look at your source code. You might want to look into
meta tags and how they will help your site be picked up by search engines,
etc. Google search for lots of links to tutorials.

Best to you.......

Thanks so much Tom!! I really appreciate the thoughts. I can't wait to start
working on the suggestions you have for me. I love fixing "minor details" :)
Since I own the company I need to make sure it's perfect. To answer your
question about getting paid, I haven't been :) You know how that goes! Good
idea on the Meta tags. I don't know anything about them so I will be doing
some research.

Thanks again Tom,
Regina

Your welcome.....

I really hesitated saying anything as I know how it is to have someone
picking nits on my work. The points were minor so thanks for taking them in
the spirit they were given!

info on meta tags
http://searchenginewatch.com/webmasters/article.php/2167931
http://www.philb.com/metatag.htm
http://www.webdeveloper.com/html/html_metatags.html

resources.

info on search engines....

If you want more.... do a google search on .... search engine submission

Best to you........

Nice work w/ a DWT

Consider removing all the span tags and using an external style sheets and classes
Plus don't use negative margins in styles as in
margin-top: -7px; margin-bottom: -7px

Very nice, very professional!
A couple of nits on content. In the FAQ for Employer change "their" to
"there".
In the Employee FAQ:

Question: Are there any fees associated with the use of the card?

Answer: All applicable fees are listed in the terms & conditions that
accompany the card.

is a non-answer. I'd sure like to know what the fees are, BEFORE I
signed up.
