One of the most fundamental points in webpage design is page validation. If a page does not validate 100% to HTML specifications you can be sure of problems re cross-browser compatibility etc.
There are plenty of page validation websites but IMHO the best is:
http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_uri
Mozilla has a plugin for the above site too.
One of the first things a webpage should do is inform the browser what Document Type Definition (DOCTYPE) the webpage is written in.
A list of valid Document Type Definitions (DOCTYPEs) can be found at http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html.
But surprise...surprise...Parallels SiteBuilder does not on publishing make any reference to Document Type Definition (DOCTYPE) in its pages leaving browsers to try and interpret what the DOCTYPE might be.
A major failing in what could otherwise be a great program...but with no Document Type Definition (DOCTYPE) it becomes just another useless WYSIWYG program only for amateurs and not serious designers....
