When i mouse over the mav meny items the words positioning in hlaf over the buttong in safari for mac os x. Other than that, its nice, quick loading, maybe a bit cluttered?
And i dont like when mouse over'ing the links in the highlights section the line spacing gets smaller causing the links to move.
i knew i had that nav problem in mac...how do i fix?
Let me just say that I like this design a lot, very clean and green.
The whitespacing seems a bit lopsided, unbalanced. but just a little. Right side and left side.
What's hot inside needs less ALL CAPS. I would CAP either the command 'TAKE ACTION' or the title 'PBH'S ...", but not both.
Not my opionion: I would take the pea picture and the Welcome paragraph and merge then together a little. This would balance out the white, I think.
LOVE THE DESIGN. :D
Can the javascript be moved into a separate js file? Or is that driven by php?
Icky coding -- lots of tables. And spacer gifs??? -- an archaic way of doing things, IMHO. Try validating your coding to get a better idea of what I'm whining about: http://validator.w3.org. Then read up on why tables shouldn't be used for layout (especially MULTIPLE tables): http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold/.
Lastly, the Mouseover links for details (on the homepage) don't seem to be user-friendly. The text describing the links appears about 150px to the left of the link. The usage of images within these descriptions doesn't help, either: I thought they were randomized ads. Why don't you use a title in the <a> tag instead?
Good Luck-

I think what you have got is really good. The only thing i would say is that it is difficult for people with disablities to move around your menu with just the TAB button. I think this is critical for accessiblity of the website for people with disabilities.
your designs base is there. theres a bit on you could improve. you have to logically here think on what your site is trying to deliever and where things should be located to delieve r the messages you want. devide your site accordingly. keep your design consistant and avoid using capitals for titles where they are not needed
