Looks good

On startpage you have a reddish background on the left and black on the contentpart, the other pages don't have it.
Think it was on purpose?

Yes, it was on purpose. The client wanted the black front page because she feels it is more dramatic. The interior pages are white for increased readability. I wanted to use her calendar page for the home page. I'm a big fan of putting news and/or events right up front but her advertising guru said no. He's wrong, but it isn't worth the fight.

The ability to have multiple templates is one of my favorite features in WB. A consistent look and feel through the site is important but it's nice to vary things a bit, too.

The slight jump from the home page to interior pages is the unfortunate result of her having me remove the border around the nav pictures on the home page. I really should calculate out a repositioning of the div to at least minimize the effect.
