The main problem seems to be that you are hard-coding the height of the DIV
which has the ID e.g. of content-container-two-column to 96px

I went to the Hardware.aspx page and, using the IE Dev Toolbar, set the
height of the DIV to 100% and all was well.

Also, none of your pages appears to have a title - i.e. they show as
Untitled Page in the browser.

And, no disrepect intended, but you *really* need to get your content
proofed by a native English speaker, e.g.

"Well its time to take the step"
"Because when your away..."
"...so you can not miss the customers special request."
"Full fill customer special requests..."

Hi Mark

Thanks for the quick response

You were spot on with the container heights

I thank you for your comment, re the content grammar and spelling and no
disrespect was taken
The embarrassing thing is that myself and my business partner, who authored
the text, are Australians

I copied and pasted his text from a MS Word document and never proof read it

Regards
Steve

Cool.

The errors seem to fall into four main categories:

1) Basic spelling e.g. 'quiet' instead of 'quite', its / it's, your / you're
etc

2) Really weird and inconsistent use of capitalisation e.g. "Our Products
are designed to cover a wide range of Businesses, from Restaurants, cafes,
Hotels, bars to Car Wreckers, Hairdressers, Beauty Salons etc"

3) (Missing) punctuation e.g. "What worked best the yellow pages, local
paper, The editorial you had done, the letter drop in your area."

4) Incomplete sentences e.g. "Ah! you wanted stock control that's extra.",
"Without fail.", "If so by email or SMS.", "manages your appointments and
confirms them for you with the press of a button."


You might also want to consider a consistent look and feel throughout the
whole site. E.g., the three images on the home page aren't aligned (maybe
they're not supposed to be, but it does look as if they should be), the
different styles on the Reseller and Contact pages, etc...


The Terms and Conditions page should be removed until it's got real text in
it - look at the title of that page...


The "validation" behind the contact submission pages is woefully inadequate,
e.g. the only requirement for the email field seems to be that it contains
the '@' character i.e. if you just enter the '@' character and nothing else
in the email field, it will pass validation...


Luckily, it's a small site, so would not take a professional proofer /
tester very long to fix. However, I would strongly advise you to take the
site down until you've fixed the above as, in its current state, it gives an
incredibly bad impression of your company and its products...
