I agree with ~dl, the site does have a very nice appearance, but problems will arise if you don't have any actual copy on the page. As a general rule if you disable styles/images/JavaScript you should still be able to easily and efficiently browse the site and still get all the information. A few things that jump out at me: IMO, At the very /least/ you should make the image that says "Jessie Ford Illustrator...." inline and put an "alt" or other clarification tags in it. I understand your friend probably wants to keep the page how it is--so maybe you could add at the bottom of the page all the information contained in that picture in plain text. I think it would be better if you put the navigation images (like the heart on the inside pages) inline and especially with the heart put some text under it that says "home". Another problem you will find is that Google and other search engines are going to totally ignore the page. Google likes lots of words (relevant ones, anyway). ;-) You may not be looking for my opinions like these, so I will try to answer your original question as well. You've got a handful of validation errors (XHTML and CSS) on your page. Run it through the CSS[1] and XHTML[2] validators at W3C[3] and try to fix those. Also, in IE6 on the home page the text is displaying on top of the images (see screen shot[4]) making it hard to read. It seems like you've gotten the hang of the fundamentals of coding CSS, so you're on the right track.
