    I like it. Nice retro-style feeling you have made. The only think I dislike is that menu. I think you should give it some more work and maybe place it horizontaly.

    Very nice design.

    I think the nav is better vertically than it would be horizantly

    Couple of things:

    The use of an <hr /> on the menu lists... Don't think it's necessary, you can acomplish the same effect using border or background image.

    The use of image map for the footer image... I would've split the image in 2 and link them individually.

    You have some extra <br /> that are unnecessary....

    Other than that you've done a great job, loving the design.

    I agree with tommy that the menu looks better verticaly.
    In doing so you keep the website in a dual column style which uses whitespace effecitvely.

    This is probably just a 'bad' menu habbit of mine, but i preffer a more obvoius roll-over on the menus, more exactly : a background color change. I am not suggesting anything as it's your prefference that guides your design.

    You might try another positioning of the fork on the lower left side though. I think it leaves too much whitespace to its right and gives the design an incomplete feel. Also you might consider some borders or smth for your pictures. It looks quite unprofessional to just leave thumbnails naked like that :)

    Overall I love your design: nice and clean. It reflects the class of your client.

    How long have you been styling with CSS ?

    I love the layout, I think you've pulled of a realistic effect really well.
    I like the menu on the left hand side but I would change several things about it.
    I'd remove the lines underneath each of the items, I always feel that these kind of things should be used for more complex menus or menus with titles.
    I'd also make the menu text a tad bigger. I like the little icon that appears next to it on hover-over.

    I don't understand what are you reffering to with "I don't know how I can make when mouse hover". Please rephrase

    The button/link to the validator says:

    "XHTLM 1.0"

    Probably want to correct that - otherwise, it's a nice looking site.

    Good Job!

    The only thing I would do is reduce width of left navigation.

    Cheers, DS

    Really cute and I like your menu. :) I like the background image too, but I think it's should be fixed, and maybe a little bit soften, but that' s my personal opinion.

    I don't see your favicon pic, check out the file name (_img/favIcon.gif=_img/favicon.gif)... :).

    Everything else is really good.

    Did you figure out how to make the border of your menu come on when you roll over? It was not a stupid question.

    One of the great things about html is you can change the borders with a a:hover command. You could use something like the following:

    #menu a:hover {
    border-bottom: solid 1px #FFFFFF;
    }

    and that would put a solid 1 pixel white border on the links when you hovered over them. Of course you can change that to any type of color, thickness etc you want.

    Does that help?
