My new project

Please critique http://FamousPhone.com/ The entire site is not complete
but there's enough there to see the overall design/layout. This is my
first real business site; I want everything to be perfect. Until now, my
main focus has been NMSUA's educational site. Now retired and branching
out a bit.

CSS:

- There are a few CSS errors. They are caused by not commenting the color
names.
- Add this to the CSS:
#nav_menu a {
display: block;
border-top: 6px solid #eac117;
border-left: 6px solid #eac117;
padding: 0.2em;
}
It improves the look of the menu items, prevents them from jumping around
on mouseover, and does not require as much mouse positioning accuracy.
- "Ariel" should be "Arial".
- The heading sizes are, um, interesting. In the general case I would
expect the font sizes to decrease from <h1> to <h6>, not jump randomly about.

HTML:
- The animated GIF is 1.6 MB! A long time download for a dial-up. (And I
personally do not like blinky things, they are extremely annoying and
distracting, quick to drive me away.)

General:
- I am not sure the dense yellow is the best choice for a background
color. Although is does seem to work with the purple.
- It took me a few seconds to realize that your service was providing
access to Famous People by phone. I thought first it might be for outgoing
messages, or ring tones.
- Referring to the Famous Person as "Talent," rather than FP or "the
Talent," sounded a bit like a new mother talking "about Baby."
- You leap right into operational details with hardly a segue or heading
to give a clue.
