Maffo is just really nice Maffo is just really nice
Default I like it

I like your site as well, very neat and tidy

I would somehow try and compress the size though. That one image is close to 100kb.

I think it's a pretty cool header. When I looked at your site though, all the table borders were dashed lines. That's something I would expect to see in web design software to mark tables/cells without borders. I've never seen it on a browser. The header doesn't seem to fit/blend in with all those dashed lines. Since you've got some blue in the header, It would be interesting to see what thin blue table borders would look like. Probably not for the featured cells, but a border around the navigation, brousecategories, and featured table. Also, with four columns of categories, people with small monitors will force the categories to break into new lines. I personally don't like the way that looks. You could put many categories under a "For Sale" category and cut the number of top level categories in half and use fewer columns. You might use a slightly different background color to set the page off a bit. I know this is more of a site critique than the header. The header's cool. Well, that's my two cents worth. Looks like you'll be ready before January.

Happy Trails,

This is a fact, it needs to be compressed.

Thanks for the kind words.

Happy Trails,
Thanks for your comments. I understand your points but I am kind of waiting on V4 before I further develope the layout. But you like the header, right?

It's a nice looking logo. Very sharp. Did you do it your self or have someone else design it?

I myself intend on getting one profesionally designed one of these days.

Looks good, my personal preference would be to drop the bevel and drop shadow. Then left align it and fade the right side into the page background. To each his own, definitely looks good though.
