Looks good, but why are you still using tables for layout?!

Will you allow an honest critique?

I like the way you site is arranged, but using tables for layout is a bad idea. You are putting entire page content in a table, which means it has to be loaded fully before displaying. That is slow loading and a bad practice. You are also repeating tags which can be eliminated with small CSS statements.

I'm not trying to knock your new site opening, but why waste your effort in vanishing methods? CSS and XMTL is the only way to design new sites today.

Your site "looks" clean. I do like the design - just convert it to modern design techniques and it will be perfect!
