So, FINALLY I can show off the new site design. :D

http://www.riaservices.net/

There's not much content yet, but link to the Enrollmet System goes to the Contract Generation and Plan Management System I've been building for the last 8 months. Can't show you that part, but I can say that the automation it provides has increased productivity by large orders of magnitude.

The design element of the right-side column exists, but we don't have any "sidebar" content yet, so it's not currently displayed on any page. The sute you're seeing is just static HTML, but once we get it moved onto the CF server, adding content is just a config file away. Smile

I like the graphics separating the nav from the body content, very slick, looks great. it seems the nav links (or all links) should be a shade of green instead of blue tho to keep with the color scheme...

I don't know, I like the blue links: intuitive, and stand out.

Amazing design, by the way. I am in awe at your subtle use of gradients and shadows. I always tend to overcompensate on the flat or bland side on my interfaces these days (probably a residual fear of beveled buttons and drop shadows). This is a great example of a design with depth that still looks modern and professional.

It's probably my own personal preference, but I've never been a fan of hyperlinked text that goes bold on the hover-over.

I totally agree with that, especially when it moves the whole body of text by changing the wrap, which fortunately is not the case here. None the less, I find it annoying

Kudos go my friend Steve Elkins at SiteFactory.com for the design. Once he got the design done, I sliced it up in Photoshop and did all the HTML/CSS.
