Default Is my site navigation clear?

Hi Everyone,

My site at www.usernomics.com gets most of its traffic from non-commercial visitors such as academics and professionals in the field. They are attracted by all the Internet Resources on the site.

A few visitors are interested in our consulting services and I want to be sure to attract them.

The site is divided left and right for consulting vs. resources.

Is the consulting / resources navigation clear? Does the site appear like it would attract someone interested in consulting services?

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks a lot,

Bob

Sure it would attract someone who is looking for consulting services.

Also the page accessibility is great!
A "Skip Navigation" link would definetely enhance the usability.

The only thing I did not like was, that you page code did not validate:

Line 78: I found an ampersand '&' but could not find a following semicolon for a properly formed character entity.

Otherwise, well done.

Default Thanks

Thanks for the good catch on the &. I don't know how that got through. I check all pages with Opera / W3C.

What did you mean by a skip navigation link?

Thanks Again,

Bob
