Is my website crap? I certainly hope so.
CRAP (contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity) is an extremely helpful design and layout methodology. Elements that aren’t the same should be very different so they stand out.
Strong contrast between page elements allows the user’s eye to flow from one to another down the page instead of creating a sea of similarity that’s boring and not communicative.
By having a repetition of styles down the page you create a cohesive feel to your web site. Everything on the page needs to be in a visually alignment to something else. Nothing should be out of place or distinct from all other design elements.
And finally proximity creates related meaning. Elements that are related should be grouped together, whereas separate design elements should have enough space in between to communicate they are different.

How should you design a web page that is compatible to all major browsers and gives optimal placement in search engines?
The answear is: Use right architecture, the right technology, the right source code and the right keywords.
Best is to code in XHTML 1.0 Strict.
In order to separate content from presentation use CSS. This not only makes content easily editable, but also allows you to transpose styles with one file and change the appearance of your web site without even going near the code.
