    A job well done. I saw both the original and the updated version... The updated version is 500% better. Looks good.

    As far as constructive criticism goes, I echo the sentiment that was pointed out on page 1. It may be just me, but as a personal pet peeve, I highly dislike direct "mailto" links that are not identified as such. When I click on a "Contact" link I expect it to take me to a page with contact information rather than just opening up my e-mail software automatically (which I don't normally use, so it's a PITA when it comes up).

    If a "Contact" link is only going to be a "mailto" then I would recommend informing would-be clickers that it doing so will open your e-mail program...

    Just my 2-bits. Otherwise, everything else looks decent.

    Thanks! The "Contact Us" link will soon be an honest contact page with mailing address, e-mail links etc.

    As you might imagine, I have a long list of things that need doing! Unfortunately, the time available to do them is somewhat limited.

    As an aside, the more I do, the more I run up against my own limitations. It's an interesting challenge to me to puzzle out work-arounds that:
    a) don't cost us anything;
    b) don't look completely horrible;
    c) are achievable within my lifetime.

    I think that the very hard contrast of colour Background / text is most off putting and hits one in the eye... in an uncomfortable way. Also it becomes difficult and tiring to read and makes one give up too soon. ( my comments are offered with some graphic design expertise as I was a senior lecturer and course leader in a London art and design college.)
