Hello.

I made a web site where the divs align perfectly in Dreamweaver live view and in the server previews, but when the site went live the page parts don't line up, especially when you enlarge or make the page smaller.

The url is www.soundcraftpiano.com

Any and all help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You have a lot problems going on.

#1 Your site is not mobile friendly which means Google will penalize you in search results.

#2 We don't use tables for layouts because tables are not responsive and should be used only for tabular data.

#3 Your code contains many errors.

Start over with a responsive layout. I put together this responsive starter page for a related forum question yesterday. Copy & paste the code below into a new, blank document and test it in all your devices.
