You have a number of errors. You probably want to start by cleaning those up, and then we’ll go from there. Many layout issues can be cleared up this way.
Just from counting the tags in your source code, I think there’s a couple of unclosed <p> tags and maybe an <li> tag or two.
Here’s how I validate my site (part 2 is linked at the end of the post), though ironically it’s currently slightly out of validation due to some plugins.
Im not an avid coder, so which files do i start looking at to update? My css file?
If you’re following along with part 2 of the article on my website, you’ll need look at the source code where the error is and use context to help determine which file it’s in, or whether it’s in the text of a post or page, in which case you’d actually go to the WordPress editor to fix it. Here’s an example:
<table><tr><td>Here at <span style=”color: #8d2b2b”>Redcon</span> we are interested in what you as the client think, about us, about the property market in South Africa, about investing or whatever else might be on your mind.

I’ve bolded the problem tag, which should be < /p> (without space)
not<p/>. It looks like this erroneous tag might actually be in the text of your post. So go to the post editor, switch to HTML view, and see if you see the tag there. Fix it and move onto the next error.
Ok, thanks will spend some time going through the errors one by one. Will let you know.
So do you think that once all the errors have been cleared away, IE will view the site better?
It’s hard to say, but it’s a good first step in the process of elimination.
