I have put together a site for my brother-in-law. I have the main format set, now I just need to get the content up. He will be sending me the verbiage and some photos etc for the site, but in right now I was curious as to your thoughts.
UtahBarrels.com
He takes Whiskey Barrels and makes cool stuff out of them.

I just noticed that in IE the pages are centered as I had hoped. In Firefox they are not. Any idea as to the correct css to get that done in both?
Nice look.
You might try adding to your css
table{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

They look the same in my FF and IE. 
Hey nice looking site. To get it to center in Firefox you can add the following.
<div align="center"> just after the body tag <body>
</div> just before the closing body tag </body>
<div align="center"> just after the body tag <body>
</div> just before the closing body tag </body>
It's also left-aligned in Opera 
I have a crappy monitor at work (where I'm at now) and I suspect a good percentage of the population has equally poor monitors and while most sites look fine, some sites like UtahBarrels look too dark. The brown links are too close in contrast to the black background and the rest seems too dreary. Just a suggestion that you might want to lighten things up a little.
Dave,
English man, English. That Lorem ipsum junk has to go. Seriously, only a crazy uncle could read that. Is that a template? Looks cool. See if you can get him to have a barrel make more whiskey and then send me some.

Rob,
OK, I have lost the Lorem Ipsum stuff. But only because they just sent me some verbiage that I could use. This wasnt a template, I just thought all the super cool developers used that "lorem Ipsum crap"
DWD,
Thanks for the suggestion about how dreary it is. Ill see what I can do.
Bruce,
I did a quick find and replace in dreamweaver and got the table centered. Thanks

I like it. Gives the feeling of being in a cellar. A little tough to read in the morning pre-coffee, but to make it more readable you'd have to lose the background, and that would be detrimental to the look/feel. So keep on keepin' on. Nice work.
I made the parchment in photoshop, so I can still look into lightening it up a bit for contrast sake (maybe tomorrow though ). We had originally tried to make it a pirate theme, then decided to loose the pirates and keep the rustic feel of the site.
Ive just noticed some grammatical errors too. Ill get at those in a bit.

Glad I could help.
I like the feel, and the colors, and the fact that the site is so focussed. The left menu is really a thing of beauty, very effective.
The homepage title "utahbarrels.com" appears larger than the banner, so part of the "U" and the "m" are sort of cut off, but not a big thing. I'm on a linux/firefox system.
In my experience, you'll lose potential orders if you don't have something that very clearly says "click here to order." Even if that just redirects to the contact page, it's what people want.
Why the contact-page link to a german insurance company? Unless it's to cover babies put in those barrels...
Cool, I got all the way through this without popping a joke about whisky barrels, in utah.
