Richard,

Very nice layout. I think it would even receive Cederholm's Bulletproof Seal of approval. When I increase the text size, your containers adjust. Nice touch...

Some of the images contain null alt attributes, which will validate, but it doesn't really help a user who's got his/her images disabled in his/her broswer. And some of the alt atttributes are written in UPPERCASE. All elements and attributes should be written in lowercase.

You've got a print style sheet set in place, but upon print preview I see what appears to be a screen shot...

The javascript menu, could be minimized through CSS. Check out Nick Rigby's article on A list Apart...

I hope this helps, and I really like your site.

I like it. I'd do something with rollovers on the nav, though. Links everywhere else already have them.

Hi -
I agree that it's a lovely design.

My only issue was that I like to have the important info.
first - and to be pointed in the right direction for what I'm looking for.
The name of the company was rather small [logo] compared
to other graphics and it was hard to tell what was the most
relevant info. there.

Design-wise you might incorporate that maroon from the logo
in one or more of the rollovers - yes, the main navigation could
sure do w/ some kind of hover effect.

Nice work,
El

I think what you have there looks great. The only things that i can see is that the page has a horizontal scroll at 800 by 600 which I think is important with different screen sizes etc. When I look at the website the logo doesn't catch my eye you have to look for it. I think if you swapped the Hello Email Address area with the logo and placed that where the logo was.
Apart from that great design.

I like it a lot! leave the logo where it is... I like your page just the way it is.
