- the contrast between text and the blue background is very poor, I hope I'm not rude but in my opinion this blue is hysteric
- invalid html markup
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbos...rg.uk%2Fcss%2F
- no meta tags, why?

best regards

The top of your wave doesn't line up correctly in FF.
The footer cuts off your text at the bottom.
Black text is too dark for a dark blue background
The menu doesn't stand out - not enough contrast on the colours and only showing tabs on the rollover state is a little odd.

In IE7 (less toolbars/chrome) the layout has gaps. In IE 6, its all scrunched up and overlapping.

the css is also invalid:

I presume is the same reason.

yes, it allready know what content will be there. And I'not talking only about keywords and description, first time I was look have not title, or I'm worng and I don't see it?.

I don't get it is a site review or a layout review, is ready or work in progress? Don't matter how it is, is not a problem, but I want to know what to expect.

I have no artistic skill. If I must work 3 days to the coding part of a site, I'm sure I must wotk 9-12 days to the graphics, but when I'm finish, I just start to cry.
some color with good contrast with black, are #69f, #39f and #09f and are still blue, I guess.
the tabs for menu and menu text color?? I have no idea yet!

- is a white gap between the header and the content

best regards
