I would first cut down on solid color images in the background. This will cut down load time as there's no logical reason to have the extra 50 or 60k of images to load when the page is called.

the design is nice: simple, clean & easy to browse...

There's a little lack of content though...really sell that product! Looks good so far, keep working @ it! :)

I like the look. Unfortunately, the coding is a mess. Have you validated it yet? (http://validator.w3.org/) I noticed that (in the coding) pieces of template comments are strung out everywhere. Also, there are quite a few <br> tags where CSS positioning could have solved the problem.

As to the design, the shading on the gray bars/buttons is a little too dark. It obscures your text. And, as previously mentioned, you're quite reliant upon images. You should really try to use as much text as possible. Not only will this reduce your file size/download time, but also this will help search engine indexing of your site. If you're determined to use images instead of text, try image replacement: having the text hidden through a span tag, and a background of the textual image - for examples, see http://csszengarden.com.

Good Luck -

I think it's a sharp looking site. I would replace the nav bar with CSS...you can make it look virtually identical with almost no weight, and make them change color when you mouse over them. Make a long term goal of getting rid of the tables...not a super big deal, but still. I would also kill the link to your homepage while on your homepage....no need to link to a page you are already on.

Very nice color scheme. I like it...good job.

It's too red, too much red makes angry people.

Other than that, I like the layout and design and flow.
