Very quick glance:
Design:
Looks very nice. The picture menus are very good. I would give the page a slight margin-top to let it breathe more.

Other pages have very large images as part of the header. On my DSL connection it was slow to load 162 kb background image. On a dial up, forget about it. In my view, they should not be more than 30kb max.
The dimensions of the image are to large too.

You can read my comments about header/footers in:
Please review our new design

In http://www.kubicle.com/beta/our_work.html, the 162 kb image causes scrolling. Refer to my comments in above.

HTML and CSS:
There if you wish, a lot can be done. I will be repeating myself. Please check my other posts in this section regarding using CSS, doctype, formatting, tables etc.

Good luck

I think it looks good. Nice layout, good colors. Seems easy enough to navigate.

Check the last few lines of solutions.html, you have some repeated HTML code that's messing things up.

thanks guys ... i am going to work on making the images smaller if possible. would it help if i broke it up even more by slicing more pieces? or should i just make the whole layout a little smaller than 741?

Think about the overall size of the page.

The smaller it is, the quicker it loads.
The quicker it loads, the better the impact.

You can reduce/compress the JPG from 162 to 50-60 without any noticeable loss. If you also reduce its dimensions, you can manage around 30 kb.

Read my comments as posted above. Your header is slightly too big on the sub-pages.

Good luck
