Ok, let me see if this mailling list posting is working now... First of all I like the design, but can't understand any of the content!!
About the code... <h1 id="header"> I was initially going to say you don't need the id="header" part, but noticed you had another level one heading further down. I would suggest rethinking that idea, as it seems convention that a page should only have one level 1 heading. So make the other a <h2> or <h3> and just style a <h1> with out the id="header"... a good check is checking the "outline" on the validator. Secondly, the navigation... You don't need to wrap the <ul> in a containing <div> as the <ul> is a block element and can be styled accordingly. You need to add px to your image attributes, but I would suggest working out the appropriate em sizes for them, so they then resize like text in Firefox. Scrap the em idea, coz your site isn't scalable because of the faux-column. For the footer I'd personally get rid of <div id="footer"><span>...</span></footer> and replace it with <p id="footer>...</p> which you can style to do the same thing. I would suggest some Image Replacement techniques on the heading... especially the Gilder Levin method. Wouldn't the bridge image be classed as design and not content, therefore belong in the CSS? I'd suggest CSS-ing it, so when you turn off styles, on content images remain. On the Studio page, might I suggest using a definition list, as, from what I can tell, you're describing the image in the sentance below? If so, I think this'd be appropriate use of <dl> as there is a strong link between the pieces of content. It's a nice design, and pretty nice markup, better than most I have to say! Just a few little things I hope you find useful to reduce excess code even more. Hope this helps.
