I really like the design. The color use is great as well. It's a very ascetically pleasing site for me. However, I do get a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of your "sidebar" that jumps right out at me and ruins the feel of the rest of the site.
Other than that. A+.

Paul, what operating system and browser are you using when you look at the site and see that horizontal scroll bar?

Actually I saw that too. In Firefox - it happens when you click on one of the links, eg to Service, then hit back. I think it's something to do with the fact that Firefox puts a dotted line around the link you've clicked on (once you've clicked on it - it does this with every link on every website but normally I don't notice it) and this causes the box to be slightly too wide to fit. You can probably fix it with overflow:none instead of auto, unless there's a reason to have it auto.
The design has a really nice "robust" and strong feel to it. Works very well, don't see many websites like that.

Thanks Nexonen,
I actually just got done deleting overflow:auto from the sidebar. Hopefully that fixes the scroll bar issue. I added some colors to the menu too, in case you want to see some variations. None are all that exciting, but the template is so easy to change that a new color can be made in as little as 5 minutes. I actually reused the sidebar code from another template. The rest of the design is all new, but that template is where the overflow:auto came from.
What version of Firefox, and on what operating system?
Thanks for the nice comments,
Brian

Since you pointed out the
Since you pointed out the issue of hitting the back button, I have been trying to fix the issue with Firefox and Opera. When I hit the back button, in Firefox or Opera the link that had previously been clicked is showing in it's hover state until the mouse moves in to the page. It also has a dotted line, which can easily be removed with outline:none, but I can't get the appearance of a hover state to go away. Any suggestions?
I've been working on a new website design. I have tested it in :
WinXP / IE5.5
WinXP / IE6
Win2k / IE6
WinXP / IE7
WinXP / Firefox 2
WinXP / Firefox 1.5
Win2k / Firefox 1.5
WinXP / Opera 9.02
WinXP / Safari Beta
I'd appreciate comments on how the design looks in other OS / Browser combinations. I don't want to alter the design to work with really old browsers, but hoping that it works in all of the most used browsers on non-windows systems.
