I'm a designer, just opened a company too.

MEAN:
- Lose the centered spacing.
- Lose the table borders
- Lose the umpteen jillion navigation links, or at least categorize
- Watch you text spacing, touches borders too much, add internal table spacing to fix
- Design for your audience, your site should have 800x600 or 1024x768 sizing. I'd call your audience a 800x600 audience, but allow resize if you want full screen. It is larger than 1024x768 right now, which is bad.
- Considering losing the fluffy image behind text, the background. Fixed by way of background color in the tables.
- Give it some sort of layout. Right now, text is all over the place, sort of in two coloumns, but not really.
- Every page looks different. Make one or two templates, maybe a few sub-templates, and then use them.
- Lose transitions.

Not to be mean, but much like the famous I Love Lucy episode, where Lucy tries to write a book, this is a site that belongs in a Web design book, underneath "What Not To Do".

NICE:
If this is your first attempt at a site, good job.
If you provided all your own content, again good job.
Now try to take the content and apply a re-design.
The image at the top of the homepage is nice, but confused as to its purpose.

Remember, a Web site should be presented to the audience in the format similar to that of the non-Internet world. With an informational site like this, it should be a virtual version of a newspaper or magazine.

Hope I helped.

FrontPage is an excellent program. It just takes knowledge and lots of practice. Keep at it.
