First impressions:

I love the simplicity of this page and the colour scheme appeals to me very much.

Questions:

Is the banner meant to be so far over to the right? It looks odd to me, especially with the second table sticking out far to the left.
Is the navigation menu supposed to be on two lines, or one line? (IMO, it'd probably look better on one line.)
What am I supposed focus on?
What is the purpose of this page (apart from showcasing a layout)?
When rolling over the links, I find the black difficult to read on a dark grey background; would suggest using white text with a dark grey background, or black text with a lighter grey background.

Hope this helps some.

Take care,
Snitch.

1. The banner was meant to be centered. It is in the browsers I tested it in (FF, IE5, Safari).
2. The nav is on one line.
3. Er, I don't really know. lol. It was just a test layout.
4. Testing a CSS-based layout. Also, using a UL for the nav bar.
5. I'll work on that. I wasn't really thinking too hard about the colors I chose (I made it in like 15 mins).

It's not supposed to look like this, is it?

Well, I don't have a Windows, so I can't tell what it looks like on one. Heh

I don't think Firefox looks that different on a Mac. I could be wrong, though. It looks fine when I look at it with Internet Explorer, but not Firefox.

It looks fine when I look at it in Firefox.

Interesting. Now it looks fine to me, too. I don't know what you did... Or maybe I did something... lol. Well, the layout looks fine now, anyway.

It doesn't look like your menu is centered with the rest of your stuff, and your layout certainly isn't centered based on the user's resolution. :)

There is for me a big difference between the layout in FF and in IE, there is a flaw,

Hmm... I took another look:

Netscape:

The nav menu wraps onto a second line, even when viewed full screen.
The wrapped menu pushes About Us / Schedule 2005 towards the right so that Schedule 2005 sticks out.


IE:
[Disclaimer: I hate IE, loathe it, despise it, avoid it whenever possible, etc.]
The layout looks very nice!
Might suggest centering the banner and the nav menu -- it looks odd to me left aligned.

Other than that, very nice!
