Hopefully throwing this live at the weekend. It would be great to get some feedback from you guys before it does.
I've built this on a Mac so I'd be interested to see if any bugs show up from you guys on PC's.

XP - IE - all good mate
Technically can't question it, and it looks rather smashing too - nice one mate
May the empire begin

XP FF 1.0, looks good. But I think you need a _top button, so users can return to where they came from after they click the links.

MX_OnD:
I'm trying to move over to XHTML and CSS now. Seems seperating 'content from design' is all the rage these days.
Bought a couple of books and have been studying http://www.alistapart.com
Hard when you work from home tho. No one to ask... *boo hoo
Thanks for the feedback,
Hutch

it's nice, and BIG, but the strapline's trying a bit hard and a bit down-market. There is no obvious ID for the company name – 'Huthchouse' if that's it which is a bit odd.
- josimarX0
well, there is an id, but it's about 1000pixels down.

Thanks for the feedback JosimarX. I understand the confusion of the branding and the logo being halfway down the page.
It was intentional, as the strapline says more about what we do than the logo.
Plus, it makes it a slightly different from the sites I'll be making in future; logo top-left, nav down the left, etc...

win2000, firefox;
after clicking the "what can we do for you?" link, the headline "what can..." appears at the very bottom of the screen instead of jumping to the section like "news" does.

put a menu="false" tag on your object/embed for your flash header though, i hate being able to zoom in :P

I know it's intentional, just that Uncle Jacob would have a field day with it. Nice designy stuff tho ;)

I'll make the suggested amends to the site over the weekend.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Best,

Blofeldt:
One of hutchhouse's 'members' did the RAF stuff. He's one of our printing angles...
- Blofeldt0
what is a 'printing angle'?
- hUtChhOuSe0
Well, we're a multimedia company, but the same clients often need some printing done. No point turning your back on it is there?
- Blofeldt0
good luck. Is it a new venture?
