Nice site, Sarah.
If you look at the home page with images turned off you'll see that
there's no site title -- the graphic logo disappears and you've
positioned the text head ("Geofeat - all things green, eco-friendly
and organic") off-screen.
This past year I've switched from using that technique to using this
one: mark up the logo as a foreground image with its text equivalent
in the alt:
<h1><img src="/images/presentation/logo.gif" alt="Geofeat - all
things green, eco-friendly and organic" /></h1>
The head will show up with or without images enabled as well as with
or without CSS enabled.
I routinely style all my chrome as background images so I really had
to wrestle with this idea. It finally won me over for its
accessibility and progressive enhancement. And it's easy to justify
a site logo or corporate identity as a foreground image -- it's not
merely decoration, it's a concrete graphic entity that represents the
website owner.

Paul
