With current Opera release, that page, right click, validate, "286
Errors, 280 warning(s)".  Granted - those appear to be two types of
complaint, multiply on each of multiple similar lines.

It fails with Firefox Zoom Text Only wound up.

It overrules my choice of text, etc., font size and face.

Everything is sized in px.

It has "<script>" in it.

The string "etc" requires a full stop; and "comfortabler" is not an
English word (in addition, Webster does not know it).

The page does not link to its presumed Home Page
<http://pagefabricator.com/>.

With my preferred window width, or when Zoomed, that page hides most of
some buttons under another element

The author has a low-grade E-mail address, and gives no real name or
address.  One can have no confidence in her work, from the sample seen.
