Not bad at all. The design itself is good enough. A little corporate but what're you gonna do?
My two critiques are:
1. You should think about how to improve the html architecture. Disable CSS in your browser (firefox, view/page style/basic page style) and take a look at it. Xworld should probably be at the top right? Plus some other usability issues. A lot of people choose to ignore this sort of thing. My site does at the moment, but I did it right when I started learning proper CSS implementation. Next one will implement correctly.
2. The cut-out people in the main flash graphic are aliased. fireworks can help with this. maybe even imageready (not sure though).

thanks guys. i did check it with CSS disabled before...but that's a good point about having the name at the top.
i'll also implement the flash anti-aliasing...i didn't think it was *that* noticeable, but feedback indicates otherwise.

how do you make it so that it still works if css is disabled?
i tried it with one of my sites....completely wacked it out ;) haha

just bare bones html with good mark up...list items for navigation, proper header tags, etc.
keep tables and tds to a minimum or not at all. use css for positioning images instead of image tag, for the most part.

site looks sharp.
disable css plus a lot more with the web developer extension for firefox, which i would deem a necessity for anyone designing web sites...

cvirus my new year's resolution is to get real solid with css; i've checked out zen garden, etc, but do you have an example of something simpler? maybe 10 styles or something, something i can get my head around. if you could point in that general direction that would be awesome

me likey .... I myself am working on a big site , with the intentions of doing everything w/o tables for layout .... already ran into one problem , dont mean to jack your thread but could u look, the position of the rigth "student Corner " is off should be aligned to top of the div

Aye, always try to seperate style from content.
Looks smart.
Mind yer '/>' closing tags on meta tags and s. Try and use the w3c validation tool in the firefox web developer extension.

j_red - I suggest picking up Zeldman's Designing with Web Standards for a thorough introduction to how's and why's of CSS
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product…
From there just start working with it and testing in different browsers.
When you run into headaches you can ask in forums etc. (like here) and people will help.

As far as the site goes I think it looks great. You might as well go the extra small step and get it standards compliant.
Not much, just looks like a couple of un-closed br and meta tags.
