Basically, a nice layout; I like the logo, clean a simple, yet appealing, though I'd give a bit more room.
Further observations:
The color use is a bit plain, although "techie"; the contrast is a bit low on the whole;
I'd make the gray rim around the center section equally wide, so the top could be a little less;
The sub-text next to the logo might look better underneath it;
I like the mouseover effect on the menu buttons, but it might be an idea to change the look of the button accompanying the page viewed as well; either that, or give the pages a stronger, more recognizable caption;
Code-wise, it's a shame that you've used tables for layout purposes where CSS would serve much better; related to that are a couple of other issues, one of which is the fixed width: CSS (and tables too, for that matter) would make your layout quite easily adapt to the available window width: always a favorite of mine ;
"... physicals access... " (typo in home page);
Reconsider center-aligning the text on your homepage: it may look good for a while, but it usually makes for hard reading and is therefore rarely used other then for restaurant menus.

It's a bit plain, but very professional looking. I would suggest using lists instead of long paragraphs. Most people have a short attention span and will skip through paragraphs. Example:
If You:
*Are tired of generating your galleries by hand.
*Want an easy way to display images on your website of Family friends etc.
*Don't want to have to create each band by manually coding the HTML.
*etc
YOU NEED OUR SCRIPTS!
*They are easy to use, easy to customise and will make your life easier
*etc.
You should go back through and recheck your markup, you forgot a <title> element, list items arent closed etc.
that may just be the editor though, its okay.
keep it up.

Everything looks fine in what im assuming you want it to look like (IE6, 800x600)
Did you just add that bg on the content? I never noticed it, but I do now, looks cool, maybe if the lines faded away instead of just stopping ...
I agree a little with the keywords, as ionsurge pointed out, only because some of them are in there more than once.
