Much better Julie - but - the green box on the About Us page is to the front and no text is visible.
On the Contact page - remember what I said about making your Choose One selector - Initially Selected
Also do you have the Medical Office and General Practioner selectors in the same table cell? - if so then create a new row for the GP one - it will make it neater. Also ensure that all your rows/cells are the same height.

but if some one catches something let me know…
Lots of dead links; eg: on the Welcome page, the ‘About us’ and
‘Services’ links don’t work, aren’t links.
Unlike Dave though, I do see text in the green box.
That is weird! Does anyone else have problems w those links?
I checked them in freeway and the words are all set as having links to
the other pages…

Have you used a separate item for each menu link? If so, make sure you
don’t have any overlapping items or the container (DIV) for any other
item in front of the menu. I would use the built in CSS Menu Action on
a Master page to prevent this problem and ensure even spacing.

Each menu item is a separate HTML box. I highlighted the word and
added the link to the other page.
The only time there is an overlap is before the puzzle pieces move.
DIV?? can you explain?
I will try that.
thank you

In simple terms, DIV is just another name for the HTML box in which
you add your text (or an image) and is the term used in the actual
code. Don’t ask me to explain further - I’m not a coder, which is why
I use Freeway!
Make sure your menu item layers are at the top. In the Site Panel they
should be the bottom of the list of items on each page signifying they
were effectively the last added (i.e. the top layers). That may sound
confusing, but it’s the logic of listing the items from the bottom one
first.
Try grouping them: shift click to select the menu items then go to
Item Menu > Group, so that they all sit in one ‘container’, which can
be easily kept as the top layer.
Or you could set them in a table.

The Forge is humming along nicely here too. As to the CSS Menu Action,
you won’t find it there – that’s a core Softpress Action, and it’s a
part of Freeway itself. If you can’t find it in your menus, you’re
probably looking in the wrong place or you have a seriously old
version of Freeway.

The fault most be local. Are you having trouble with any other sites?
(Goes straight there from your link above).

The CSS Menus Action comes as a standard Action in Freeway Pro. So you
should have it (or are you using FW Express?).
Draw an HTML box and, with it selected, go to the menu Items> Actions
and it should at or near the top of the drop down list…
Just type you navigation menu headings as a list, indent only once and
leave on default, for bullets etc. In the Action panel you can set
spacing, colours, etc.
Perhaps the Domain Name Server(s) (DNS) that your Mac is using through
your Internet provider might be in the middle of an update that just
happens to cause www.actionsforge.com to be temporarily unavailable
via your Internet provider. It might clear up in a little bit. You
also might try restarting once in a while to clean up the DNS cache.

You can make your navigation into a list, so you can use the action.
Just type out your links, hitting return after each one, select all,
indent in the Inspector, apply the CSS menu action, go to the Actions
palette and choose to show it horizontally.
