Not had time to look at it in detail, but when you click the "hjgd" link, you get an "object expected" JavaScript error because you've not defined the function "MM_preloadImages" in that page and you're calling it "onLoad".

I'll take a proper look in a while. Look good at first glance though! :)

I think it looks great .... but I'm just an amateur - my latest one is http://www.spectura.co.uk/

Your making the traditional error that all print designers make. You are using images to display text. This has to be a big great no no. If you want your site to come up in search engines then the text cannot be made invisible to search engines by hiding it in text. Moreover your site becomes ungainly. People have their browser windows different sizzes on different resolution screens. Some people dont have fast web access making your pages take an age to load. It is harder to correct a spelling mistake.

Unfortunately I can't think of a single reason why this method would be preferable to the norm.

As a rule I agree, it's better to use XHTML and CSS, but there are times when you need to use images even for text, if you want to do things you can't do via CSS. Search engine placement my suffer but it depends upon priorities I guess.

I'm trying to use just XHTML / CSS these days - the spectura site above uses CSS to the extent of not even having any HTML tables but using CSS for "table" layout which makes it as standards compliant as possible.

most search engines will pick up your ALT tags though. SO it shouldn't matter.

Its neat if you can do the whole thing in html text though, since then changes are a snap, not a chore.

but if you're going to leave them for a while, a 'resilient interface', then images are fine (IMESVHO). Sorry digressed from topic a bit.
[edit]
That is a really neat and tidy site that looks good and avoids over complication. Much better than the ones I used to make (very sloppy worker me).

The one thing I would also include is alt tags for all the images for reasons mentioned above - search engines will pick it up more easily.
