I like the colors used in your website, very soothing and "balanced."
only thing that i see somewhat annoying is the menu.. but thats just a personal thing.
other than that its great!

Really like the fact that you used Mambo and have apparently created your own design without using someone elses.

I agree about the vertical menu being 'uncomfortable'.
It is a personal thing, but I dont think you should have to scroll to get to a menu that takes you deeper into your site. Also, you have used all your main content area to hold very simple lists. I would try to consolidate the main content area more and bring that vertical menu up into the initial viewing area more. You may simply be able to add this menu to the dropdown menu you have under the header. This would keep navigation more consistent.

Overall a good use of color and creating a relaxing feel.

Nice job.

the design is very good.
better to use small caps instead of all caps for the navigation.
darken the text at the left column. it can look better.

Nice neat site.

I like the colours & its clearly a nicely styled site created by someone who is not a beginner. My only comment is that the side menu is so very pale. Late at night my eyes were straining to pick it up. Why is the side menu services? Why when you go to a main nav option do you not get a submenu with the choices for that area in? I am not a great fan of drop down menu's but they look good. Really pleased to see links at bottom and a sitemap. I am forever asking people to include these on their sites for the benefit of web users with visual impairments.

Nice job, good luck to Lisa and Antony as they approach their 10 years since starting the first centre. Nice website.

I like it. Looks nice.
Member login and search - fonts should be different. white font on a light background doesn't look good since it is kind of hard to see...
Also, left menu is a little too light... make the font darker.
Besides that I would call your site professional.
P.S. Why not joomla?

I thought they moved from mambo to joomla? Is mambo more convenient?
