this is a company that generally deals with retiring individuals and senior citizens. basically, they wanted a website with a straight-forward design, easy-to-read text and pages that are easy to navigate through.

so, i'd like to get some feedback. what do you think?

thanks!

you may consider removing the page worth of empty space at the top of the site

The site show up fine for me in IE but similar problem in Firefox 1.0 (runnin XP SP2.)
For the site itself, i think the blue is really too thick and the tabs are a bit too big. It gives the impression of being homemade which isn't the first impression you want to give out for an estate planning site. But it should be an easy site to navigate.

if i were a betting man i'd say it was nest tables, i count 5 with a height of 100%, although i don't 'know' tables, so i'm probably wrong.
