Hi,
First, congrat on the site, its very nice.
What catches my eye first off is, your page looks like it start with the purple nav. bar. It dwarfs your logo, and makes the cart info seem a little out of place.
Its looking nice, keep up the good work.

It is a nice looking site but I agree with tuffy that the purple navigation at the top & side does then to be a little overpowering to the logo and other colours. It's a very easy to use site though, well done.

I agree about the navbar. I would also like to see some sort of hover effect there as well.
Another thing that you should do is make the logo a little bigger. Actually, you might want to make a few changes to that. Try flipping the dolphin over so it's pointing the other way. Think of him as an arrow - do you want him downwards off the edge of the page, or inwards towards the content? That would be a good way to draw the eye towards the main section of the layout. Also try altering the kerning on TEMPLATES - those letters seem a little far apart to me.
Another idea would be to integrate more of the yellow/orange/red colours from TEMPLATES into the rest of the design. Is the dolphin blue the same blue as what is used for the page headers there? It doesn't seem quite the same to me. Is the TEMPLATES font different from the DREAM DOLPHIN and page header font? It looks a little off to me, but I don't have a great eye for fonts so maybe that's just me. Just some nit picky things here. Overall it looks very nice.

I agree about flippin the dolphin over and making the logo bigger. Your nav bar is over powering the logo. Rollovers would be good as well on the nav bar and other links too.
On some pages the nav bar background doesn't show unless I refresh. This could be a problem on my end..not sure.
Spelling error on home page: "After recieving your template"
Didn't check the rest of the site for spelling but it is always a good idea to do that.
I before E except after C.
Site look great (and consistent) on IE 6.0, Opera, and NS 4.7 so I am giving you a thumbs up.
