You are apparently assuming that everyone uses full-size browser
windows. That's an incorrect assumption.

My screen size is 1600x1200 but my browser window takes a little less
than half the width, and the full height. Thus I get horizontal
scrollbars on your site *plus* a vertical scrollbar even with a big
empty space at the bottom of the page. To me, that looks amateurish.

If you did a little research, you might discover you can have a flexible
design that adapts to browser settings like mine as well as those
running full screen on monitors 800px wide and up. Look up "max-width".
For a 2-column layout such as yours, max-width:45em could do quite well.
