Okay, most of the points I made still apply. 1) is out, because you've
ditched the JS menu. 2, 3, 4, 5 (less now) and 7 still apply. You've got
images where you could be using background images in a H4 for the
special offers section, and I'd lean towards doing part of your
testimonial bit differently. Perhaps:
<p class="testimonialname"><span>Joe Coyle,</span> President</p> and add
the rule
.testimonialname span {font-weight:bold}
to your CSS, instead of
<p><img src="Images/Icons/comment.gif" width="16" height="16"
alt="Client Testimonial" /><strong>Joe Coyle,</strong> President</p>
...because the name isn't really emphasised (which is what the strong
tag means), only styled differently, and the image has no semantic
weight (you've already said "Client testimonial" in the H2 immediately
above).
Text resizing isn't so bad, if you're prepared to accept your nav bar
breaking so quickly (it only scales one step up in Firefox here).
Only other suggestion I've got is to perhaps stick the "Plans starting
at $24.95/month" server graphic as part of a link background, instead of
just as an image... and, if you _do_ want to retain the image, change
the alt text to something more meaningful than "web servers" -- "Plans
starting at $24.95/month" would do nicely.

Josh
