Hello “hellspawn”(?) :-)
Viewing your site in IE 7, Firefox 1.5 and Opera 9 within Windows XP it appears to display in a similar manner across all pages.  I very much like the idea behind your design, although it did take a few moments over high speed connection for all of your images in your “slide show” to preload.

I strongly suggest you get content into your “under construction” pages rather quickly *grin* and that they do not stay that way for long.

Since you happen to mention that you “produce clean clode, build to the latest web standards (XTHML and CSS)” I do wonder about some of your coding choices. For example:
1. on your main index.html—using break tags and “•” to display an unordered list of the reasons why potential clients should choose R’born—why not use semantic code for an unordered list?
2. also on your main index page, might I suggest presenting your “news” items as perhaps a definition list? you could apply css to format the \<dt> and \<dd> list items the way you wish instead of applying bold tags and break tags?
3. on your Services > web design page, you might consider presenting your list of services also as a definition list and apply CSS to format as intended rather than using bold and break tags.

I notice all of your images have an alt tag with the value of “webdesign iasi”.  And if you are looking to “strengthen your [own] web presence through search engines…” I highly recommend you beef up your pages with more content.

You mention that you are concerned about “usability and accessibility”. In light of that you might consider previewing your site’s pages using a Lynx browser to see how text-based readers will see your site.  I think you may be in for a bit of a surprise.

You’ve got a VERY good start and appear to have good intentions if you follow through on how you present yourself on your main page.

With kind regards,

The answer is yes and yes. The reasoning behind this suggestion is simple.  (and bear in mind I may be walking over the line toward a purist position, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt) *grin*

First of all, if you are truly wanting to build your pages according to W3C standards, you will want to take advantage of, and use, existing semantic codes such as the definition list elements, then use CSS to influence the appearance.  The code that is in your X/HTML pages should mainly be structural and semantic. Ideally you are wanting little or no in-line formatting in your page, the majority of formatting and appearance should exist in your CSS file(s). 

So, when I look at your page for this one example of “news” items, I see \<b> (bold) tags applied to a short portion of text followed by a longer portion of text, and this is repeated several times—very similar in structure to a definition list. 

For example:

Then, in your CSS you can apply formatting to your \<dt> (definition term) element to bold and indent by a certain amount—then you won’t have to have non-breaking spaces “ ” in your page to move the date over, and you won’t have to have \<b> tags there either. And you can continue on to apply any desired formatting to other tags.

Now we come to the “easier” portion of the answer… think if you want to change how your news items appear in the future… all you need to do is change the appearance in the CSS file (once) and you have now impacted all entries that relate to what you have changed.

Okay, so what if you have used definition lists elsewhere in your site and only want to influence/change your “news” items? This is where classes come in, or you can structure your CSS to only apply the given formatting to definition lists inside a certain structural element (in your case you have a \<div> named “noutati”).

So… there is my very long-winded answer to your simple question. I hope I have not over-done it!

Hi Your site is neat. The choice of fonts is what is bothering me the most. The menu font and the Times new Roman just doesn’t go together. Try using Verdana instead.
