Small text issue with a site i have designed

Get Started

Hi forum, I was wondering if I could get a little help. I have designed a site named aexcelcare.com for a guy i know, and i think there is a coding mistake on the home page. The company name is written Ǽxcel Care but on the home page(and only the home page), the Ǽ shows up as Ǽ. It is really annoying and i don’t know why it does it only on this page. I have tried for days to figure out before deciding to ask for help.

Also, while you guys check it out, can you guys let me know what you think of the site? i am a novice web designer and the only 2 websites I have made are petristile.com and aexcelcare.com. I think i am having problems on this one because I am using dreamweaver and I am not too familiar with how to use it yet. So if there’s anything I could improve on please let me know

Hi sd_alpacca! Welcome to SitePoint. :slight_smile:

In your HTML files, is the character different? Is it being converted to the whrong character at some point?

This may have no effect at all, but on each page except the home page you have this line following the <head> tag:

<meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=utf-8”>

Try adding that in and see what happens. You may have to do a find and replace for those characters that are there at the moment.

thank you! i added in that line and it fixed the problem right away. I’m thinking i might have accidentally deleted it when i inserted the meta tag. thanks for the quick response! this forum is great
