I can't contribute anything on the mac side, but I have to say I like it. I like the graphic device of using the fine white lines across the page and down. Nice effect. And the transparent effect in the heading looks great too. Very smooth.
I think it's a clever way to use boxes as wide as the whole screen to overlay one colour over another so it looks like there is a LOT more work in the different sections than there actually is. Screen background in the dark red, then the middle wrapper box overlayed with the olive colour, then the white lines through it looks like you have a gazillion table cells there, but in fact there aren't any. Can you tell us a bit about the design process? Did the graphic designer start out with standards compliance in mind or did you take the sketch/gif/PDF design or whatever and force it into compliance? How much does your designer take CSS techniques into account when designing? The home page must have been a challenge - all those boxes to line up. How will you keep them more or less in balance once they start adding content to it? Are you having a CMS back end on it? I know you're looking for html/css comments, but to tell the truth, the site just looks brilliant in my browsers. If it was my work I'd be telling everyone in the world.

Feel free to tear it a new one :P Sample homepage: http://www.gruden.com/dev_sites/blacktown/templates/homepage.htm Sample content page: http://www.gruden.com/dev_sites/blacktown/templates/content.htm CSS is at: http://www.gruden.com/dev_sites/blacktown/templates/styles/styles_main.css http://www.gruden.com/dev_sites/blacktown/templates/styles/styles_content.cs s http://www.gruden.com/dev_sites/blacktown/templates/styles/styles_homepage.c ss (excuse the long URLs, DNS changes haven't come across yet) Basically, im looking for some design/accessibility/UI comments that I can pass on to our graphics department. Also, could someone run it through the usual Mac browsers for me (and provide feedback)? Our little iMac is playing up. I'd be more than happy to discuss any html/css decisions I made. *Obviously this is just a quick knockup of the initial design, as the client wants to see it in HTML form.
