I would lose the horizontal scrollbar if you do not need it. It is showing up in IE6, FF, and Opera for Windows.

Loose the width 100% on the body along with the left margin.
Use the #container div to hold all the elements including the banner and put margin:0 auto; on it to center it on the page.
Scrollbar should vanish and content will be centered.

That is very unique! I want to say it almost has a holy Batman look to it, lol. It's nice.
The navigation should be done and styled by CSS and put in a list.
I would make your banner image 780px, resize to 750 and use a "<div id="wrapper"></div> (or container) div of the same width. Then use this CSS for the general layout:
* { padding : 0; margin : 0; } #wrapper { width : 750px; padding : 0; margin : auto; }
Or, if you don't want to use the star selector:
#wrapper { width : 750px; padding : 0; margin : 0 auto 0; }
Unless you don't want it centered, lol. (Disregard above, make skinnier please).
Overall it's cool looking.

It's still a smidgeon too wide for an 800Ã600 window. Nice design, though. I wouldn't center it, myself. It maintains 'presence' even in a 1280Ã960 window. As to an 800 wide window, with large screens, we can scatter smaller windows about the desktop. I cannot imagine trying to work with larger apps wasting space.
You might find a way to bring your side menu up a bit. It runs below the fold. A menu, IMO, should not require scrolling.
You might consider a better background color for the text area. The white is garish by comparison to the softer look of everything else.
Did I say it's a nice design? Well, it is.
cheers,

Nice looking site. the Header image immediately caught my attention. I agree with the others...it would look good centered. I tested all pages on a Mac in FF and Safari. Firefox renders everything properly, but I noticed in Safari that it is doing weird things with your form on 'contact' and 'new beginning' pages...you may want to look into that if you have access to a Mac.
