    Looks very nice - BUT

    absolutely not what you want for a website!!! Everything is in form of graphics, which SEARCH ENGINES cannot read. You need text on a web page in order to get spidered (and a good page rank)with any search engine. And don’t start with ‘alt text’ - it will never replace decent text. PLUS: copyright 2007 - do you really want to change/update this image every year to keep it current? Or are you planning to design a new site every year?

    Web pages done by designers usually look very good, and work very badly - sorry to say so ;-)
