First off I'll say it looks quite nice, the simplicity and clarity is
good.

However I loathe frames (you seem to be using div but the effect is
similar). Hopefully you used frames only for demonstration and did not
intend to use them in the real version where server side includes would be
avialable.

The search box is 'interesting', I haven't seen anyone use a button with
no label like that before.

I'm glad to see you are properly using stylesheets and named styles.

Did you create the graphics yourself?

Gotta go. Maybe more later.

I'm occasionally stuck with a very slow connection and Abiword does appeal
to users with very old crappy hardware so I hope the site wont become too
heavy.

Hope you will continue to work on your site design proposal.
