I understand what you say about a 'spartan' or minimalist direction from your client, but there are ways to do both spartan and fulfilling. Maybe you could pull that red (from the logo) and make a 7 or 8 px wide stripe down the left side of the page. Or, maybe you could put a gigantic (35 px or more) brown (same as house) border on the bottom of the page, then repeat a similar, but much smaller brown border on your subsidiary pages. That being said, I wouldn't know good design if it bit me on the ass. You should probably listen to someone else's advice before mine. =) Before I go on to code, though, I will say I like the houses, but the logo text is full of jaggies. Fix that pronto. It seems that is a jpg image. How did you get those kind of jaggies on a jpg image? Ugly.

One of the things validators always yell at me about is whereever you describe a background-color, you should also describe a color, and vice versa. I don't know why, Slime or Emps could probably answer that. [url=http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/]w3c css validator[/url] is a handy tool Uh, you forgot your opening body tag. Bad news. The 'align=center' in your divs should probably be moved to your stylesheet. That's all for now. Not bad. Let's see when you have another page built. Loading...
