Hi all have a look at my website which is a first for me in css. I have finally given up the tables I know it should have been ages ago but I have decided to take the plunge.
Please be ruthless about the CSS as I want to learn more.

I like the code behind it. I like that the markup and CSS validate. Very well done in that regard.
Rendering degrades nicely when CSS is disabled. Another plus.
You are using about 110K of imagery. That isn't a whole lot, but considering that the header image is 56K and the two supplemental images are 22K and 26K respectively, you can see that this may cause problems to users on dialup systems. However, the site degrades nicely when images are disabled. That is certainly a plus.
One thing to consider is perhaps a splash of lighter color throughout so that there is some contrast in the view. Otherwise, I like that it loads fairly quicker (would like lighter weight imagery, but still it is OK) and that it validates. Good job.

I don't really have any additional comments and everah made a more thorough analysis than I probably would have done, so my response is just to say that I looked at it and agree with his comments.

Thanks for all the positive feedback people. I know it is an insurance web site but I did have fun doing it as I like learning new things. Looks like it is CSS in the future for me then.

I would have used <ul><li><a> for the navigation elements. That's it.
