This page is not Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional!
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.

The checked page did not contain a document type ("DOCTYPE") declaration. The Validator has tried to validate with the HTML 4.01 Transitional DTD, but this is quite likely to be incorrect and will generate a large number of incorrect error messages. It is highly recommended that you insert the proper DOCTYPE declaration in your document -- instructions for doing this are given above -- and it is necessary to have this declaration before the page can be declared to be valid.
You should place a DOCTYPE declaration as the very first thing in your HTML document. For example, for a typical XHTML 1.0 document:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- ... body of document ... -->
</body>
</html>

Assuming you use Firefox, get a fantastic plugin "Web Developer 0.8" from the mozilla website, great help for developing web-pages.
Your first attempt works, but looks rather boring with all that grey background. Making the clickable logos a bit smaller will make the page look friendlier.
Use the above-mentioned (official) validator in future.
Also, try to avoid the use of the word "banner", lots of popup-stoppers and some firewalls are "allergic" to it and either suppress that banner or refuse to load that page altogether.
