With the greatest of respest Andrei because it does look lovely, you are designing for the web so you cannot control how people see your lovely web page. For example I find the contrast between pale gray and yellow is too low for me to read comfortably so I up the font size twice which makes the font much denser and throws your page into wide horizontal scroll. The footer depth then becomes a major issue because I can only see about 12 lines of text in my browser. I'm not complaining. Your layout and design means that my particular viewing preferences are very gracefully accommodated when compared to the vast majority of websites. But the key thing about the web is that it is not a printed brochure. You can't get too precious about typography when your readers can change it without your control.
