I'm not sure I like the logo letters larger in height than the logo icon. Maybe try lining them up with the check mark. Overall everything is sort of equal in contrast, a lighter shade of grey for the background might not even hurt.

Theres not real design decisions that I was wondering about, just wondering how other people feel it looks as a whole.

While it may be visually appealing, I don't think it suits the situation. The color red when associated with tasks or times gives me a feeling of urgency, lack of time, rush, late, tardy, etc. It doesn't make me feel good about my timelines. Perhaps green or a neutral blue would conjure happier feelings if you know what I mean. ;) _________________ Blog \| Typesites

As long as you aren't trying to give off a strong designer feel I think you've succeeded in creating a successful and functional layout for some simple website, while making something that still looks good. _________________ http://bt-design.net

I just want a nice, easy to use, and not ugly layout, heh. I've been so busy lately though, haven't had time to develop the site an further, hopefully i'll make a dent into it shortly.
