Please review:

http://www.lvfinancing.com

This is a very simple site, that has a long way to go. I would like some feedback on which way to go.

My wife is an independent contractor loan officer, and she has asked me to put together a site for her business. She works with a company that has realtors, financial planners, etc.. that pay for leads. This site is hopefully to generate leads primarily for mortgages in the Las Vegas area, and secondarily for other services.

Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.

Default Site Review: lvfinancing.com

I like you concept of keeping your front page simple, easy to read, and quickly linking to relevant internal pages.

However, it's a bit loud for my taste. Play with some different color variations for starters :)

Also, if you're looking to build a site that builds "registered users" and allows for "partner" content from advertisers, PHP is a great way to go. You could keep a basic storefront page like you have, and the rest of your site could be PHP / database driven.

Let me know if you update this and I'll happily take another look.

Good luck!

On the Calculators page you need to get the words off of the sides. They blend in.

You might also clean your code up. You have double code for some senctences. Like a double font and /font when you onle need one. Also you have a lot of spaces in your code. I read some place that space is bad in coding. By that I me like this
<table > <font > ect. It should look like this <table><font>

I have cleaned up the site a bit. All the pages validate now.

I have got the words away from the edges on the calculator page.

Added an "Info" page for putting articles and news.

I also would like suggestions on how to make the content more cross browser friendly. My site looks better on Safari, Mozilla, konquerer, and Firefox, than on internet explorer, even with the same screen resolution. The text is larger in internet explorer than in the other browsers. I've noticed this on my other site as well.

Your code looks pretty good now. I don't see that many empty spaces in it as before. There are still a few spots that have them.

When using tables they have a source on the web some place that you can look up or you can buy cheat sheets on the web. I got one from VisiBone.com
Everything that is htm they have in a chart.

Any ways you might try this with one of your tables.
You have center and /center when you can add the align=center inside the <table align=center> which will put the table into the middle of your page just like when you add the center.

Take a look at this
<center></center>
align=center

On some sites where making a file smaller this is very important, I think. You save 5 spaces by just this one change. On some sites this little bite might make the file maybe by one or two k smaller. We all know that the smaller the file the faster it will load. Every little bite helps.

From what I understand if you make a page in the style format, what you see is what you get pretty much on all broswers. The fonts will stay the same as well as other things. I do not know that much about style coding but I am sure if you asked someone would be willing to tell you.

Try something like this on one of your pages and change the font in your browser when done.

<div style="font-size: 8pt">maintained by </div>

<font size="1" face="Verdana">All Rights Reserved. </font>

The style will stay the same size as the font will change to weather you wanted your text bigger or smaller.

Apply some css in external file.. This will make the site easier to maintain and coding consistant.

The menu bar colors are a bit hard on the eyes.. Lavander on Bright green is a bit harsh..
