This one has been a battle. One of those sites from hell, that has everything go wrong that can. But it's finally done.

Nice site, real fresh looking
Like the template use, home page differs from the rest.
nice job.

Nice site, I really like it! A few details though, on which you may or may not agree:
1. I wonder if the different fonts work well together, maybe you should stick to one
2. The background pic on the pages may be a bit too heavy, the text on top is a bit hard to read.
Also, on some of the pages, the footer doesn't reach all the way to the bottom of the browser window. There is a white gap at the bottom of varying height, depending on the page content.

I totally understand what you're saying. However, I think one font is too sterile for this site. That works for hi-tech but not for selling the experience of flavorful food. The "look and feel" description I got from the clients during the planning phase included: vibrant, not-corporate, colorful, warm and interesting.
I had several discussions with the clients about both the background and fonts. I at least got the font number down to three. They wanted almost everything in a different font and different color! The Provisions banner font is part of their branding and is on all their printed material. It's absolutely important to use that font as a gif. Then there's one font for headings and one for body text. The different font sizes are the results of using lots of headings for semantic markup.
Okay, I understand your motivations. Sometimes client demands can be very tough to deal with :-)
You did a great job with that, really.
Great site - really strong, clear design and I particularly like the use of images. Could I ask a couple of questions?
I've been looking for a font like the one used for the main header 'Provisions' for ages - could you let me know which one that is?
Also, the email newsletter box. Is that something you've got from WebsiteBaker or is it a function you've coded in? I'd really like to add something like this, but I'm not sure whether I can use a WB form to do it.

The font is Kabal Book. The link for the newsletter goes to an installation of dada mail a CGI mass mailing program. http://mojo.skazat.com/
