your design seems
quite appropriate for an organic expo - clean and simple, although the orange

other than that,

Very nice site indeed. . . a couple thoughts:
The main navigation (visitors | exhibitors | about...) bar hangs beyond the right edge of the content's white background (Mac FF 1.1, Opera 7.51). A lot more page elements hang off in Mac IE 5.2, if you care (many don't, but I still do).

Hi James,
As the page http://www.organicexpo.com.au/exhibitors/index.php validates as
XHTML 1.0 Strict, this may not mean anything but I have had errors or
warnings from validators about white space in html comments in the past.
!--comment-- wasn't acceptable as there needed to be a space either
This is happening because your navigation list is floated left, which
consequently collapses it's dimensions as far as it's container
#content div is concerned. The white of your #content thus is sized
to what's left, but since there is only the select box, its white
background ends just below

I think there's a need to strike some balance between following a
convention far enough so that even a first-time visitor finds the
navigation to be familiar, and considering what the audience is and

Well good question actually. I was initially just thinking of naming
