Website development help

[davevag]

Hi all

I've recently created a website for my brother’s new business - www.xcelit.co.uk but when the page is first loaded a red cross appears where an image should be. Can anyone tell me how I get the page and image to load at the same time without the red cross appearing? I think it looks a little unprofessional.

I'm no expert on this and the website has been developed using MS Publisher 2003 so any help would be appreciated!

I'm not seeing any red x's - are you still having the problem on your pc?

I wonder if its just my computer then it might be because my internet connection has been running a bit slow

Its a bit big.

But I do see all the pics and no little red x's

Not meaning to sound rude, but I would expect an IT business to have a very professional website, developed in something other than MS Publisher.

You can pick up Dreamweaver pretty cheap, and there are a load of alternatives out there - and a lot of tutorials available.

I'm no expert, just trying to offer some constructive criticism. It might be worth the initial outlay to get a site made up for him?

Publisher.

Bizzare isnt it?

Of all the things to pick for the generator to output.

You could learn some proper web development skills without investing in any software, take a look at W3 Schools for some free lessons to get you started, my brother works as a web developed and he learnt enough to put together a portfolio that got him a £28k per annum job using this site.
