Bowlers Alley Nick, what exactly are you showing us here,
if its a preview of a site design, its a bit sparse.
You some content, even if its just gobble-de-gook.

Currently you just have a banner, which is ok, but I think its a bit too big, though this impression may change if content was filling the vast expanse below it.

You have this gradient white area below, I presume this will be the starting point for the textual content, whill it fade like that, or will it be a solid area, because you could have a real bad problem with text colours, just something to think about.

It is a site design. I havent filled in any of our content yet. Im working on it. I just want to know what people think before I start working on it. So what does everyone else think?

Nick, I think it looks very nice and I am a graphic artist. Use the white gradients for your text just make sure they go as long as your columns of text. And since you opted for a dark back ground make sure you use light type. Don't make the common mistake of black background and blue text which you not can't read but hurts your eyes trying. Keep going your doing good work.

Nick, I was not trying to be rude, and I'm sorry if it came off like that,

I like the banner, but if you open that page into 800x600 then the banner takes up over half the screen, what res are you targeting?

the width is fine, but you averagly get around 400-450 pixels for height in 800x600, cus of the task bar etc taking up a lot.

But hey, who uses 800x600 anymore.... ?
as long as it looks good on 1024x768 then that should be good enough

You might want to think about reducing the page margin widths also
