    Looks nice, only thing is it doesn't contrast well with the grey background.

    I agree, darkening the background would make it a lot easier on the eyes.

    I'd keep it grey, but darken it quite a bit to increase the contrast.

    It's a good start but the choice of colours aren't so good. If you're ever stumped for colour schemes, try kuler.adobe.com.

    Another thing I dislike is the uneven distribution of the columns. Some aren't centred, some are wider than others. If you're doing a three column layout, make sure columns have common box widths.

    Have you given much consideration to the gradients spanning the content boxes? What happens if you'd like them to expand etc.. would the gradient repeat, or would you have it at the top and allow the base colour to expand down?

    Navigation I'm not too keen on either. Add a bit more contrast and try to deviate from using a low contrast template colour (i.e. peach) for the text there. Make it darker to make it stand out.#

    The header font also doesn't go too well with the site's concept - it looks too primary school like. Perhaps try a normal sans-serif font from dafont.com instead?
