It doesn't look to me like your .contact-info li.mail a{ background-image: url('../img/mail.png') has a closing }.

/*************************** GENERAL ***************************/ body { font-family: 'Open Sans', sans serif; }

wrapper {

max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; }

a { text-decoration: none; }

h3 { margin: 0 0 1em 0; }

/*************************** HEADING ***************************/
