17,781 PointsSome background problems
I am trying to finish a site and for some reason in IE9 (the oldest I want to support), the buttons for the callout on the banner and the contact page will not change the background gradient. I used some recommended fixes for the rest of the gradients but even when I try a solid color for the background, IE still renders them grey. As a side note, I know I still need a fallback for the form placeholders. The site is Lake Country Plumbing.
Thank you!

17,781 PointsActually, I just installed IE9 with Virtual Box and it looks fine. I guess I shouldn't trust rendering sites for IE. Now I just have to insert labels if the site is running IE9. If anyone has an elegant solution for this, I would definitely like to hear from you. Thanks guys!

3,055 PointsI know this isn't relevant to the question, but you also have a focus issue on the contact page. Users cannot click on the input elements, however they are able to tab through them.

Just trying to help! Nice website!

17,781 PointsNice find! I actually realized that I didn't really finish my labels I made for my form. I was in a hurry to put something for screen readers but hadn't closed any of them. The focus part should work now.
