What does this mean?

I'm building the site with wordpress and ran an audit on it, and its saying I have all these errors with the code.

It says 75% of our pages have html errors and warnings, and 70% have css errors and warnings.

How is this even happening does anyone know? Will this effect the way our site ranks?

This is our site:
Affordable basement waterproofing & water Removal for entire NJ areas-


ALL I AM DOING is using wordpress to build the site. I thought wordpress knew how to code things the right way, but seeing all these errors, I don't even understand WHAT is causing them or how to begin addressing them.

Do I need to dump thousands for a hard core coder to come in and fix all these problems?

I only noticed one issue with the site which is if you stay on the home page longer than 15-20 minutes it locks up and you need to ctrl/alt/delete just to shutdown the page and get out of it.

I'm getting the impression from all these errors that wordpress is not good to use? Or is it the manner I'm using wordpress?

I just have no idea what is even causing these problems maybe its the plugins doing it?

Any advice I can get on this I'd really appreciate, thanks guys. - Red

    Hi,

    You do have errors, but not that many.

    [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.allcountywaterproofing.com/ - W3C Markup Validator

    It could come from any number of things, it doesn't have to be directly the CMS you're using (I'm no WP fan but from that kind of concerns, they’re all relatively similar):
    • Your template is usually a good suspect.
    • Your plug-ins too.
    • And your content.
    A CMS isn't just one big block, it's a set of components.
    Also note that some of the errors the w3c reports can be the same repeating themselves several times (because you can have the same block of code containing just one error repeating itself on the same page).
    You need to track them down one by one and solve them.
