Pete,

If that is your first Joomla experience, you have done very well indeed.

A few comments:

In your header, you have the organization name and address as a graphic.  Some of the letters are small and the graphic makes them a bit hard to read.  They just don't hold up when they go that small.

On my monitor (not particulary wide), some of the articles are so wide that it is hard to follow the text all the way across.  That's the nature of your template, though, so I'm not sure you can do much about it.

On the home page, you have a photo of a wall mural.  Nice.  I'd suggest, however, that you add some spacing to the image so the text doesn't bump up right against it.  That bit of white space will add the appearance.

Great start!

You have done very well indeed for a first timer. Here is my critique:

Header graphic: There seem to be no advantage to having a graphic there as opposed to plain text. If you need it to be a graphic I would suggest using a GIF or PNG as the jpg you are using distorts the text (you probably saved it at a high compression setting.

I have a 17" wide-screen laptop and the text is indeed very wide. You may want to try a set width instead. In the wrapper div (I hope you are using dic=vs and not tables) make the width 740 px or so and set the margins to "Auto". It should do the trick.

Good luck
