Yeah lose the flowers, go for something more radical like a burning forest:grinthumb ....j/k.....

Looks good. Simple and complete, without looking like your fees will be large in order to pay the fees your web developers charge. Just right, though I did notice that all the graphics haven't been added yet.

I'd consider moving your contact details to the top right of every page, rather than leaving it at the bottom. You want to give it a prime spot where it's not going to be hidden from view.

Also, I'm not too keen on the style used for the page links. Maybe consider using larger picture that are relevent to each section, along with short summary to the side of each.

That should fill out the main page better and make it look more inviting, rather than it currently looking like a place where you want to quickly click a link just to get a more interesting page to appear.

PS: Well, you did ask for comments.

no, this was my intent

I also want to target a local populous........what techniques could best be used to attract a local audience to the site for their perusal?
