Please take a look at a site I made for a friend. It is the 1st site I have done with no tables (eek!) in FF I am still having trouble getting the div white bgs to fill the whole page - any fix ideas welcome!

I would mainly like feedback on usability and navigation - any seo tips will be appreciated too!

He is very happy with the design but any feedback on that will be considered as well.

I have tried to run this site through sitereportcard and w3c validator but both are returning errors that they cannot find the site:

500 Can't connect to www.costabrava-villa.co.uk:80 (Bad hostname 'www.costabrava-villa.co.uk')

What does this mean and how do i fix it?!
Many thanks for your comments.

Looks good. Certainly hot.

At a glance, the bottom banner (email and phone no) in FF is separate from the rest of the site. It ends at the bottom of the content, shows about 150px of orange and then the bottom banner in white. That looks odd.

I shall probably look at it in a bit more detail later.

thanks debbie, yeah its the spaces between the middle divs and the bottom divs I am trying to work out how to eliminate in FF at the minute!
I've also realised I've got some alt tags missing and I owe the galleries creator a link for using the code - late night shopping tonight though so will do that in a few hours!
Thanks again

I viewed on a Mac w/Safari and had some difficulties. Mostly, the menu links opened to the bottom of my screen so I thought at first they didn't link to anything. I had to scroll down to even pick up enough of the content from the link to realize it was there.

I don't see anything but orange space under the RH side of the Villa and the Pool that make up the header. Seems to me, your link should open up there so it's immediately apparent that it's taken you to a new page.

Otherwise, I like the clean layout and the colors. I'll check it out at home tonight and see if it's better on my PC, a real computer!
