Ironic that you are having to rant on here.

B for sure. Doesn't promote honesty, I hate it when I see an awesome deal only to find out I can't have it after I've tried to get it. I would just heavily advertise that Facebook fans get a discount.

Ha! I totally love this concept, most likely because I'm a serial ranter. Good job *takes off hat*

My first website was far worse! The advice I would give you is, as others have said, to practice using Photoshop or Fireworks. Although it seems longer, it's much easier to put a site together visually in Photoshop first. You can play around with positioning and fonts without having to find and change the CSS every single time you want to try something out. Make sure you use plenty of layers and don't worry if you lose track of them, everyone does at first! More layers means it's easier to change stuff when you feel like it. Once you've got it how you like you can then start practising cutting the file up into what you need for your website. Save the file as a new file (I usually just append the word 'slice' the filename) so that you have the original to refer to when putting it back together as a website. Remember that you only need to use images for stuff that CSS and HTML can't already do. To "slice" it up, choose what you want to use as images, and hide what you don't want to be sliced for each image. Click on 'Image' and then 'Trim...', which you can use to trim away all the transparent pixels to leave you with the image you want to save. To save it, you should click 'File' and then 'Save for Web & Devices', which gives you lots of options to optimise the file size, and what format you want to save it in (jpeg, png and so on). You should do this for each image and then save it into the Images folder for your website. Then use HTML and CSS to put it into the site using the original Photoshop file as a reference. Hope my ramblings make sense, I'm a bit hungover still!

The page definitely looks like it's resizing somewhere along the lines anyway. Edit: Also, on the home page there is an h1 element with an id #site-title which is replaced with a div on the contact page. I would check through your code and see if there's much else that's changed.

This may not make a difference but try adding this line of code to your CSS @media only screen and (max-device-width: 960px) { html { -webkit-text-size-adjust:none;} } It will target only iPhone sized screens and will stop the text from being resized, something Safari does automatically to make text more readable. I hope this helps.

RapidWeaver for the Mac I hear is quite good though I think you should get your website hand coded for SEO reasons and the fact that WYSIWYG website makers use so much junk code. You may also encounter browser specific bugs that you can't fix without hand coding. If you need a developer drop me a line, feel free to check out my site.

No problem! Personally, I don't develop for 6 but I do still make sure everything looks at least passable in 7.

Yeah it sounds like they were running IE8 (or 9) in compatibility mode which is 99% the same as running IE7. Makes it super easy for testing!

Fanboys will be fanboys. *puts on Apple hat and strokes iPhone*

Yes, do this you would use this code: <!--[if lt IE 8]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="pathToIE7Stylesheet.css" /> <![end if]--> That will target anything before IE8. Take out the lt to make it specifically for 7 and so on. Place this directly after any other CSS sheets, this also means that you don't have to restyle each element all over again, just overwrite whatever property isn't working/needs to be added. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you Always nice to hear positive feedback. What do you want to know about becoming a freelancer? I've not been doing it long myself, I only started learning last March.

jQuery is a JavaScript library, which simplifies the language (to an immense degree). It can animate objects (that have a position of something other than static/auto, I should point out for you now) and dynamically change content. Check it out, if you need any help getting started I'm sure you'll be able to get lots of help from here, and there's a wealth of information and documentation on jQuery on the internet.

On my iPhone so can't see any source code but are you using conditional comments to specify a stylesheet for IE 7? If not it's worth a google. I could be way off the mark because I can't see what the problem is atm. Edit: yes, way off. Sorry! Just had a look and you are using conditional comments. What's the actual problem?

Not by itself I'd imagine. jQuery is the way to go if you don't want to use Flash (which you shouldn't so yay you!).
