During the development of my website, I thought: "why not develop something standard that I can use as a basis for other projects and make it open source?"

I just took a look at the demo page and the HTML is all messed up:

crop of some HTML source showing highlighted nesting errors

It opens a new html tag and injects a second header immediately after body.

It renders ok, but something is definitely up with the template :)
