I'm working on a new site for a client and would love some feedback as to the design/layout.

The URL: http://www.unislumin.com/tax

Also, on the homepage the mouseovers seem to be glitchy with IE 5, could anyone with that browser let me know how they look, and the version of IE 5 they have? (example IE 5.00.2919...)

Thanks!

I like the site, the contrast betweent he yellows and blue is pretty good.

I find therea a little to much white between the computer monitor and the bottom yellow part of the pageq

I think it looks really good.

A few comments:
I don't particularly like the color of ".com" in the logo. It seems to stick out too much.
The mouseovers work fine in IE 5.50. The text that appears by the mouseovers is a little light, and I would recommend making it a darker.

Peter,

Great looking site!

My only recommendation is this:

The blue on the orange really hurts the eyes. This may just be me, but I have to strain my eyes to see the blue on the orange when my mouse moves over a link... Maybe make it a lighter blue.

Other than that, very good looking site. If I remember correctly, I looked at another site that you had designed a while back and it was very professionally done as well... I can only be jealous at your design talents.

Great looking site! Everything is very well done.

I agree that the .com in the logo stands out a little too much. It's the first thing that I look at when I go to the site.

The hover buttons work fine on my end - but the orange text that comes up when you hover over is too light. I recommend making that a darker orange so it's easier to read.

Great look site!

That blue is a little "off", I'll have to change it. I viewed the site on a laptop today and that orange writing is indeed to hard to read, another thing I'll have to fix.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Yes, overall it looks great. The logo doesn't seem quite right to me either. I think that the houses might be too close to to the edge of the window, and as others have said, the .com part stands out too much.
