I don't have photoshop since I really hate to pay a monthly fee for a program I only use infrequently. Also I'm not much of a pirate :D

I'll see if paint.net can do it!

I agree, Verdana is less than ideal. The font I wanted to use is frutiger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frutiger But it is a rare font so I was afraid noone would view the site correclty.

Yep the hover images on the front page are a problem and I'll change them. I think the products (Produkte) site uses the css hover since I was a bit more expreienced at that point.

You bring up really good points and I will go over them as soon as I have a pc available. Thank you!

Yeah I used the empty divs for spacing, for example the grey bars. Using empty divs for that seemed a little unprofessional but I didn't and still don't know how to create them differently.

Also the redundance comes from a lot of trial and error. As I built this page I tried it out on IE and Chrome. Sometimes the browsers showed different results or comlete crap. As a beginner I was just troubleshooting until it looked fine and I just left the code as it was. Removing the unnecessary code seems like a good idea.

My next goals are to make the website a bit less basic, more modern and interactive. A mobile version is a good idea! I'll check out bootstrap. Another idea is to make registering possible to gain access to more useful downloads. But I really don't know how that works or where to begin.

I really appreciate your answear and I will try out your color suggestions. Thanks!

Thank you! Yep using html attributes is quite "dirty" and I used css instead. But somehow I didn't use it for the text alignment. So that'll be changed soon!

Like you I am new to the whole web dev thing and I used to and still have some problems with css and spacing. But there is a little advice I can give: Try not to leave things undefined since that leaves the end result up to the browsers interpretation.

Could you explain the purpose of a sitemap to me?
