Hello, Luigi.

As people seem to be giving you a comprehensive review in the visual
medium, I thought I'd look at the audio component ;-)

On entering the site, I clicked on 'English' and was taken to the
introduction page:

http://www.gododdin.demon.co.uk/newg/LUIGI01X.JPG (94k)


Things to note:

(1) Good use of headings for navigation.

(2) The menus have no separators between the links, which means that
they are going to be read as a long sequence of words, rather than a
selection of individual entries. This doesn't make the entries
completely inaccessible (as they can be extracted from a 'list of
links') but would be much more accessible with separators -- or as
lists.

(3) Although I entered an 'English-version' page, I can still hear the
occasional incomprehensible words and phrases: Sok, Afterstall, etc.

I wouldn't expect to hear these.

(4) Where you have words or phrases in a language other than English,
you should mark them up with the appropriate 'lang' entry to ensure
those AT UAs that can do so, will speak them correctly.

(5) You have a sentence in German. Is it relevant? If so, what does it
mean?

(6) As others have pointed out, I'm not sure that many people would
appreciate the 'php version' or 'html' version .... and why they should
make a choice.

(7) I'm not sure what the 'Please choose you language' section is there
for, as I entered the page having selected 'English'.

(8) At some stage, you should get your text checked by a native English
speaker as the content, although comprehensible, contains phraseology
alien to English speakers ;-)

Let me know if you want me to look at the other pages.

Regards.
