This is a website me and two other people designed for a class
project. It's going to be a website for a local divison of Habitat
For Humanity, a charity that helps build houses for lower income
families. Anyway, I'm in the process of working with HFH to put the
website up on an actual server, and figured I'd do some retooling and
updating before it goes up.

Basically, the site's purpose is to tell people about HFH, how they
can donate or volunteer, or apply for HFH's services. It's meant to
be for anyone, from the computer savy to someone who doesn't use the
internet very often.

If you're curious, I'm the one who came up with teh basic "design" of
the site. Often when I'm thinking about what type of website to
create, I get a mental image or theme to put in, and this one the idea
of wood stuck to me, as Habitat's main mission is buidling houses...
so I figured the whole wood/construction motif would be a good look.

Appreciate any suggestions you might have...

Somethings I'm already thinking of changing...

1. Ditching the frames.

I dunno, thinking maybe the frames just aren't needed.

2. Shrink the menu bar

Thinking the menu bar on the left takes up too much room, thinking of
going for a smaller font and reducing the length of the boxes.
