David:

The fonts are great, maybe a little more spacing between letters in some 
sections.
The color is fine; maybe a little dirtier, but not darker. I don't see pink; 
I see red-leaning beige.
CJ is right, to me, regarding vertical space. Too much vertical scrolling. 
Seems you could get this part of the site onto one 1024 x 768 page.

WINXPsp2 at 1024x768:
1. FF 1.5.0.1 zoom +2x looks good, columns don't break; zoom -2x small text 
gets somewhat fuzzy; styles off looks good.
2. Opera 8.5.1 no zoom, text looks somewhat squished vertically; zoom both 
ways makes column border images go wonky, but columns remain intact, +2x 
makes site unviewable, as whole kit-and-kaboodle is made larger, not just 
text; -2x text is unreadable to me; styles off looks good. By the way, the 
site looks swank on small screen; write a version for accident-prone cell 
phone users?!?
3. IE 7.0beta2 text size largest looks good; text size smallest gets 
somewhat fuzzy.

My design-crippled mind says,

Move the lion image top left. Then the Rackmann, Sawyer & Brewster box 
against it, lining the "R", "S", and "B" vertically, fancify them and get 
rid of the RSB initials. "counsellors at law" and nav list directly under 
names, still right of image. Is "counsellors" mis-spelled?
Columns as is, but <li> in left column needs more right margin.
Address and disclaimer centered as is, but disclaimer and "links to..." need 
more width (65%?)
To me, RSB's inclusion of the Rackmann Strategic Consulting reference 
immediately begs the question "what is it?", yet seems too cryptic to 
warrant clicking on to discover the answer. Maybe a short description of the 
service is in order.

But what do I know?

Best Regards,

Peter
