Harsh!

I'm a little surprised by that. Didn't we have a long argument over <br />?

And yet nested tables and font tags are OK?

I looked through the HTML and I did not see a fix or even a quarter of a fix that wouldn't be harder than rewriting the page. YMMV.


Well, it is right that different people's mmv. It can be a learning experience to clean up such a design bit by bit. With greater experience one would go a different way. Much time and effort probably went into OPs site and it is the easiest thing in the world to sit here and say things that do not take into account the OPs busy situation. Many business people, especially one man businesses are very pressed for time.

Well, it looks like the OP has been busy. And although not a piece of beauty it is an improvement.

Indeed. I'm impressed. Actually, I think it was useful to have the two sets of links and photos. Now he only has the links to separate pages based on occasion. Before there was another set that linked to pages with the cakes categorized by design. I think that was worthwhile. I would have made two changes to the earlier arrangement: Make the distinction clear, by placing a heading to the effect of "Cakes for Each Occasion" and "Our Cake Designs" in front of the respective sections; and, for each cake design, remove the list of occasions for which the design can be used (because a person that concerned about the particular occasion will be using the link for the occasion rather than the link for the design anyway, and because that information can and should appear on the page to which the link leads).

As for other changes: the table of boxed links above the images should be replaced by floating boxes so that they don't overflow the browser horizontally. Likewise for the boxed images. (I realize the OP may not know anything about floats.) And while the clock is gone, the date is still there. It doesn't serve any purpose, and the Italian flag and link could sit to the right of the main heading instead.
