May I suggest something else so that you can discuss it with the person that is going to help you?  The site looks good in general but it is using too many different fonts, that is distracting, or kind of unattractive.  Please don't get me wrong, I am not a graphic designer either, I have just been doing this for a while and have learned by doing and seeing what other sites that look good do.  You will notice that sites that look good have a consistent font size for all the module content text, all module titles, etc.

Just a suggestion.

By the way, the problems with your skin are fixable and should not be too hard for someone that truly understands HTML formatting. 

Carlos

Well I dug into the skin files and deleted some of the imbedded formating in the tables and the random <TBODY> tag that was in there and everything seems to properly align now thanks for the help everyone.

Carlos, there are loads of reasons to use firefox in the development cycle of a page.

It might be that 90% uses IE where you live, but this is not correct for for instance Europe,
in some EU countries the FF marketshare is around 30%.

See link01, link02 and link03

Also FF is much better at handling the standards then IE, even version 7 (IE6 is IMHO the worst "modern" browser around, it's loaded with CSS bugs).

If you want to use W3C (x)HTML/CSS you should develop your sites for FF or Opera and then add some hacks to make it work in IE.
People who develop for IE tend to get used to the incorrect CSS interpretation of  IE and complain about FF rendering their page incorrectly...

Also there is a webdeveloper toolbar for IE, but it doesn't have more then 30% of the functionality of FireBug, the webdevelopers extension for FF, I couldn't live without it.

Don't get me wrong, I really like some of MS's technology (like .NET;-) but for their browser there is a much better alternative.

Timo:

Did you read this thread from the beginning???  It was the original poster who mentioned that 90% of his visitors were seeing a bad site.  Also notice that the rendering errors on the skin were not because of IE, they were there because of bad coding he did and FF made it look right.  I don't care about this type of browser arguments, or Windows versus Unix or Macs.  I have been in this business for a long time, even did Cobol on Digital Vaxes.  The reality is that I have specialized in the technologies that I have used the most because is what the industry uses the most, regardless of the reason, I don't care.  Microsoft is definitely not perfect, but neither is any other software developed by humans, this has been demonstrated over and over and over.  One of the first widespread Internet worms that was widely discussed in the press was not based on Microsoft technologies, it was based on Unix.  And no standard is 100% standard and will never be. 

I didn't even bother to look at the links you provided by the way, like I said, I am not fanatical about one specific technology, these are only tools I use in my line of work.  Don't take it so personal, there are other things more important than trying to convince others that Microsoft is the root of all evil.

That's all I will say about this.

Carlos

Carlos, if I offended you I'm sorry for that, I didn't mean to, I'm just as you kind of say, fanatical about (X)HTML / CSS standards and I think I should be as a webdeveloper.

Because I develop cross browser websites I have been frustrated by IE6 for a long time and that's why my post could sound a bit "agressive", sorry for that.

By the way I don't think I would be using DNN / VB / .NET if I was convinced "that Microsoft is the root of all evil".....
