SS generates standard HTML files, so yes your web site will support it.
Your host provider should have sent you an e-mail with log-in details on how-to connect to your site via FTP and upload your web pages. SS can use this information with its internal FTP process so the process of publishing can be automatic. Who is your hosting provider? Do they provide FAQs or How-To manuals to give you assistance? At a minimum, most decent providers will provide this level of help even if they will not hand-hold you thru the process. I see you have a partial index page published so you seem to be on the right track. |

The date of your index page is 23 May, so you haven't changed it recently. I see you have many images in your geometry folder (good) but only seven images in your image folder. Not so good -- most of your missing images should be there.
If you think you have published more recently than 23 May, you may have published to the wrong folder of your site. For some details about how to browse to the correct folder, and have SiteSpinner set up your remote publish directory, start about here in the Publish tutorial. |

If there have been no changes to your other pages, you can select the option “Export current page” in the Publisher wizard.

I see a number of issues:
1. The action field of your form reads: http://http//:edfho-ng.org/sendmail.php. I believe it should be http://www.edfho-ng.org/sendmail.php This is the location of your sendmail.php script file 2. The php code should be in a separate file named sendmail.php. 3. Your sendmail.php file is not on your site at either of the locations mentioned in issue 1. 4. Your php script is expecting your form fields to be named name, email, message. Your form is providing names of FArea1, FEdit1, FEdit2. You need to change one set of names so that it matches the other exactly. 5. Your thankyou page should be here: http://www.edfho-ng.org/thankyou.html but isn't. This might be just that you haven't uploaded it yet. For more, see this Form Mail tutorial. |

As I mentioned in another recent thread, I ain’t real savvy with PHP.
But as far as I can see, the PHP script is looking for form values from objects named “name”, “email” and “message”. In the form itself, there is no input by those names. The text area (which I presume is supposed to be the “message” is named “FArea1” The other two inputs are “FEdit1” an “FEdit2”. I would think these are the names that your script is looking for, and need to be changed. EDIT: Or what Bruce said . . . |

The php script as you posted it should be in its own file -- and should be only 8 lines long. There shouldn't be a line 48, although hosts can sometimes throw out confusing error messages.
Also, the name of your sendmail.php is case sensitive. If your form code refers to it as sendmail.php then you should name it exactly that -- not Sendmail.php which as far as your host is concerned is a different file. |

I only had a quick look at your site, and overall. Looks good (similar to my type of work).
The first thing I noticed was your main navigation menu. As you mouse over a menu item, the menu item in question disappears. Also, even though I am a big fan of blue text, I think you would be better to make the general text of each page (iFrame) normal text, not bold. There is a problem with the size of the iFrame on the Careers Page. The background tile of your home page overrides everything else and looks terrible. Haven’t the time to check much more, but I hope my little input helps. |
