First Draft in just under 2 hours, only an image so far. Going to be a royal pain to code but heck, no difficulty no fun.
Opinions?
No it's not image heavy, most of those effects can be pure css or stretched images meaning load is around 1-2 seconds on a slow DSL, my best so far is .3 for slow dsl.

Clean and simple, looks alright. Not sure about the two separate columns of text in one 'graphical' column though.
Also, be sure to make a separate button for a site index. Site indexes are important.

No, I meant a site index. Not an index.php/html file.
A site index basically lists all the pages of a website, like this one: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/siteindex
It's good for easy SEO and navigation.

Looks good. My suggestion would be to change background color to some more darker one or atleast remove light yellow from background. |

Ah, a site map. I was intending to as soon as I have the page actually working xhtml/css.

Map (English) comes from the Latin word mappa, meaning: “napkin, signal cloth”.
It's site index. I just read the bit wikipedia on regarding the term-fuck-upping: "While some developers argue that site index is a more appropriately used term to relay page function, web visitors are used to seeing each term and generally associate both as one and the same. However, a site index is often used to mean an A-Z index that provides access to particular content, while a site map provides a general top-down view of the overall site contents."
Also; goldfish.

Fine fine, though it's more of just designer/coder preferences as to what they're called.

Third shot. Search bar was too good to pass up as white space.

Got a test version up, tell me if you find any bugs. Probably one of the most complicated things I've ever coded with css.

I think the background color is a little to similar to the paragraph color...
Other than that I like the look a lot.
