First things first, is that the header image doesnt display.
First you should remove the map and replace with Hyperlinks.Code:<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Title</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgcolor="138f6a"> <div align="center"> <IMG SRC="Images\title5.jpg" USEMAP="#title3" WIDTH=780 HEIGHT=138 BORDER="0"> <MAP NAME="title3"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" HREF="body.html" TARGET="body" COORDS="468,106, 503,120"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" HREF="contactform.html" TARGET="body" ALT="Schedule an Estimate!" COORDS="375,105, 453,122"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" HREF="mycalendar.html" TARGET="body" ALT="See our schedule!" COORDS="283,105, 360,121"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" HREF="commercial.html" TARGET="body" ALT="Commercial/Industrial" COORDS="191,105, 271,122"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" HREF="residential.html" TARGET="body" ALT="Residential Projects" COORDS="97,105, 177,124"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" HREF="about.html" TARGET="body" ALT="About Us!" COORDS="5,105, 88,123"> </MAP> </div> </BODY> </HTML>
Second of all make sure the text in bold actually exists in an Images Folder.Code:<a href="body.html" target="body">Main</a>
I feel that the BBB logo part should be included in the header frame. This will make it look more professional.
I would also like to see the removal of frames. I recommend using DIVS or Tables for your layout. DIvs are the Web 2.0 standard which basically means newish.
I hope this helps you out!

why do you not like frames? I use them because you dont have to reload the whole page all the time. but i see that not alot of sites are using them now. so there must be something to that. thanks for the good advice.

I have to agree. I tend to use tables. They hold the content plus you can either make them with a border or without. Keep everything lined up. They can be set to expand according to the content or can be set to be a static size and make the content fit inside.
<divs> work well also if you are fairly good with page location or you can adjust it by trial and error.

Re: Need some feedback on this website
Nice site all looks good now, just had a look and logo etc displays ok.
The reasons not to use frames are that some browsers have trouble loading them depending on how they are set up and also its bad for the search engines, apparently it confuses the spiders and they dont know which page to index and so your ranking either goes down or drops off altogether.

It'd be nice if you didn't use frames.

hao!
hmm.. seems fine, not much of a design (<-lessens design flaws), but it's working. the content's fine too. I suggest that you use a CMS for professional stuff.
I'll be in the construction biz some 2 years from now (I think), I'm a Civil Engineering student... but that's off the topic.
nice site!

you have a really good site as it seem very good
but
if you have the frames you can really mess it up with the wrong code
you could end up with a looking frame
constantly making a new one inside itself

You have good content so far...but as people have said, try to avoid frames. You can easily have the banner across every page by using PHP includes.
If you don't know what PHP includes are, basically you use PHP (it's a language) to copy and paste the same segment of code. You would save the code needed for the top (it appears you named it title4.html already). Then, you would make a file with the extension .php. At the top, you would begin it with
and the rest of the page would just be normal html. Be careful, though, because it will include EVERYTHING in title4.html, including the <head> tags. What I do is keep the file (title4.html, for example) with only the <html>, <head> tags and a starting <body> tag:<?php include("title4.html"); ?>
and in my main file I would have<html><head>whatevergoeshere</head><body>
footer.html would have the closing </body> and </html> tags, and when the user visits that php page the script would generate<?php include("title4.html"); ?>Content<?php include("footer.html");?>
which is a basic but complete HTML file (generated from PHP).<head>whatevergoeshere</head><body>Content</body></html>
Using this method, if I were to change the title4.html file, the header on every page that included it would change as well. This is extremely convenient for updating and maintaining a website, and very useful for maintaining a uniform look. (Which replace the need for frames.)
On my website, my header and footer are much more elaborate, but the idea is the same. Every page has only content in it, and the layout is achieved by including a header.html and a footer.html file.
Just a though.
