Looking for someone to clean up my html
Ok, so I got a new design and content management system on my website, and the guy implementing it basically butchered my HTML. It's so messed up now it isnt even funny.
You can check it our here: http://www.funlol.com
I'd like for someone to go in there and clean everything up, set up some CSS, and basically make it cleaner so that my search engines ranks won't plummit. Currenlty, most of my traffic comes from search engines and I would not like that to change.
How much money will something like this cost?

I belive your ranking does not really depend on how complicated your HTML is.
First rule: If it works do not touch it.

That is not a true statement. Straight form Google - the higher in the code your text is, the better it is indexed. Clean code is better for search engines than dirty code.
Jake, feel free to contact us. We'd be glad to help out your company.

You should always have tidy HTML, but maybe your website has other problems...
Anyway, do a search for "HTML tidy online" and submit your homepage url and see what it finds. I'm using HTML Validator as a Firefox toolbar and it found 120 (minor) errors on your homepage....
Cheers,
Paz.

you should
you should always validate for css and html.
I am also taking out all html tags that could be replaced with css safely. For example margin, border, padding, width, font, etc. All external css. This way your code will be lean and you could put more text and se will find the text faster. You also should keep the spiders off your css file with robots.txt therefore they will be indexing you more efficiently and less bandwidth.
I think it is very true that se even checks to see if the page is valid. Think about it, it is very easy to throw together a quick page and start spamming, then properly design one. It is very easy to check if a page is valid, so it is a no brainer for the search engines.
Google is now checking domain registrations to see how many years you registered, this way they know if you are a fly-by-night or not....so checking code validity only makes sense
my 2 sense
