Also consider that more and more people are accessing the web from mobile devices.

I second the suggestion to list the full price instead of hiding the additional charges ($20 range fee? really?) on a different page.
A lot of CMS software packages have mobile friendly "sub-templates" that reformat the pages into a mobile-friendly format whenever the website detects a mobile device OS/browser is looking at the page.

Re: My website

Take this as constructive criticism from someone who is self-employed as a website designer.....

Don't center align all of your text. It makes it harder to read because it causes line breaks where the eye does not expect to see them. Everything starting with "The State of Texas has adopted..." should be left aligned.

Next, your page has scads of empty <div></div> tags and unnecessary &nbsp; characters to force page formatting that aren't necessary to get the exactly same look that you have. All that extra crap in the HTML just maks for messy pages and makes it more difficult to further edit the page in the future. For example, beginning at line 103, you have the following code:

Code: Select all

<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #4c4c4c; "><img alt=""  src="images/24475767.jpg"  />&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;&#160;<img alt=""  src="images/24476105_1qtb.jpg"  /></div> 
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #4c4c4c; "><br /> 
You could achieve the exact same thing this way:

Code: Select all

<p><img src="images/24475767.jpeg" width="232" height="217" align="left"  /><img src="images/24476105_1qtb.jpg" align="right"  /></p> 
<p>&nbsp;</p>
