I’m not sure about which doctype you should be using, but I think you should consider using a different tool for creating your website!
Pagemill was discontinued 18 years ago.
Your website is HTML 2, and we are currently on HTML 5.

Hi @minjean. If you want to post an inline snippet of HTML, it won’t show up unless you format it properly. You can do this by placing a backtick (`) in front of the snippet, and one at the end, or you can highlight the code and select the </> icon from above the text edit area.
I formatted your code this time, because we couldn’t see the doctype.
If you want to format multiple lines of code, place three backticks on the line before the code, and three on the line after it.

I tried validating the site and it failed with 432 errors!
When all the errorros and 8 warnings are cleared try jigsaw.w3.org to validate the CSS…
…and then try the Google Mobile Friendly test.
Looks like you are going to be busy making the site conform to modern standards
Best of luck and post any problems that you cannot resolve by searching for solutions.
Merely changing the doctype (if that’s what you were proposing) is not enough; you need to update the code to go with that doctype.
The good news is that a great many of the errors are because you’re using obsolete HTML attributes which need to be replaced with CSS. Once you’ve done that, the site will be much easier to maintain in future.
