Why not do it now, so you don't have to go farking about with it after
you fix the rest, and find out you have to alter sizing once again?

1. I would not use explicitly sized columns. "Categories" would
float right. "About Us" would float left. "Suggested Product"
would take the remainder of whatever the browser window was
opened to (size).
2. I would scrap this image:

in favor of just the center portion of it, and center it
in a banner, with the leaves as a background image,
repeated horizontally. Hints on centering banner:

3. I would use HTML 4.01 Strict, instead of Transitional. These are
new pages, and you aren't 'transitioning' from any legacy pages.
4. I would continually check the validators and correct errors.
