I like it but I'm not sure about all of the colours together. I like the blues and aubergine but not sure they go with the yellow and purple in the logo. Either have the purple of the logo if that's the companies colours or change the purple to the aubergine if not. Loose a bit of the white space at the top if you can but otherwise very nice.

Im not having a good run at the moment of getting companies with decent logos to design with, this is another example of one that looks great on a letterhead, but other than that, its a pain...

I don't think the logo is too bad just use their colours for the site.

It looks really nice Lukster but I still don't think the two blues are working together with the purple and yellow.
I do love that little man beating up his computer though.

Hmmm, the blues don't look so good now! How about just one shade of plue, the purple & yellow??

Yeah, those blues definitely aren't right. They just don't seem compatible with the purple and yellow. Jeez, those colours really are a pain. Try them with grey maybe? Or black? Eh, that's not quite right either.
Just an idea here - it could be interesting to repeat that lock symbol in the logo. You could make it big and use it as a background for the content area. Or you could replace the arrow bullets on the left with the lock symbol.
Oh, and you might want to check out the thread in Site Tools re: cross-browser dHTML menu's. Yours isn't working at all in Opera, is rather cramped in Mozilla, and the page won't load at all in NS 4.7

How about making the top & bottom blocks of colour, that are now purple, yellow and the main chunk the purple with the middle bit with the slogan a darker shade of purple. Or the last two round the other way with the slogan purple matching the logo and the main section a darker shade?
