Lee,
Nothing at the site makes me want to read more. The plain black on white is
harsh. The large white space at the right edge of the screen is wasted
space. Why did you use tables for layout?
I would set the background to a very light grey, or maybe even mix a little
colour into it. Something very close to white but not quite there.
I would also chop down the amount of text on the main page. Reduce the
amount of reading that has to be done to figure out what the site is about.
I would also make use of the full width of the user's viewport. Set a
margin of 1 or 2 ems, not 20%!
