What i would say is make the header up top a side frame/table.. Make only the major links on top. Should clear it up a little more that way

Hello. It seems youк site looks very havy. Try o make it more easy. I'm sure that it would be better for your future visitors.

Some very quick ideas:

I think what you need to do here is simplify everything. Go for a clean, elegant look. Lose the funky effects - the beveling, the sparkle, the textured background. All of that.

The tabbed navigation is not really appropriate for this type of site IMO. It's more of a utilitarian design strategy where you want to go for something more elegant. I think a left navigation menu would work better for this site.

The photography on this site is very good - that should be showcased more. Make the base font size a little smaller (but not too small) - for this site an ideal design would have very good typography and be designed on a grid. Mark Boulton has some good articles on typgoraphy and grids.

Design Melt Down is a good site for inspiration - check out the Elegant and Typography sections in particular..

Good luck!
