Check out www.DomainWebDesigns.com and tell me what the best way to fill the white body would be....

I'v considered 1 big graphic but i think it would take to long to load and i'v tryed bullets as you can see and they dont look very well...

give me detailed ideas...

Er... content? No, really, considering the fact that the other sections of your page have single color backgrounds i'd suggest one for the content section as well, although not white; a pale blue, maybe?
If you want graphics, put them in the header; that's the first part of the page people look at anyway.
On a side note: using tables instead of absolute positioning may not be as elegant but more cross-browser compatible, effective and simpler, and would fit the available window space (which it does not right now).
See if you can get rid of all the inline styles as well; a single, external style sheet would be easier to maintain and would look more professional.
