Yep. It would also be useful to concentrate on proper use of markup [1], 
move to HTML 4 Strict combined with CSS for all layout details, and leave 
strange rendering problems that remain until after the release of Opera 7 
final.

[1] You've got constructs like 
<strong><h2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<big>Contact 
Us</big></h2></strong>, which is both invalid markup and trying to mix HTML 
and CSS to achieve visual effects, will makes things more complicated. 
Using a validator will help you catching errors like these.
