    First thing is the large picture on all the pages. It is taking up major real estate I would recomend shrinking it down a bit.

    Im looking at it in firefox 3.5 and the layout is all screwy, type is going over the edge in the main image and it looks like you no styles applied beneath it. Or at least it looks that way.

    Just checked it in IE8 and it looks the same underneath so it must be the design... I would spend some more time working on how your laying out the design and stylizing the text.

    I wouldn't recommend using a non-standard font on all the text on your site. It wouldn't look good and papyrus would be difficult to read if used throughout the whole site. You should use it only for the part that says "mobila cleopatra" and turn it into an image to do it. The navigation menu would like nice also if you used that font.

    Thats just my 2 cents. If you want to do it anyways, here is a nice little tutorial that uses php and javascript in making a dynamic custom font on your page since papyrus isn't a standard font.

    tommorow i will try to fix that header problem, but my friend likes it big, whatever, i might make it a litlle smaller and add some cool font.
