Please test and criticise my site!!! 
I've decided to post for help here now, instead of the "help wanted" section, because it doesn't look like I can get reasonable paid help from anyone unless I fully submit to them and let them take 100% control, for thousands of dollars.
Now I've gotten to the point alone where I am happy enough, even though it's far from perfect and has many problems, it does basically do what I wanted, including stable scalability, at different zooms and resolutions, as well as compatibility, and the type of menu system I've been wanting for years. With a big thanks to member Phreaddee for leading me down the correct path, the site has all its graphical decoration stuffed into the CSS instead of the HTML, leaving it lean to have the actual content be viewed on phones and other handhelds, as well as be printed correctly, which is something I never considered before.
So what I'm after now is mostly technical criticism and advice, testing on different browsers and handhelds, any help you can offer or any bugs/design-flaws you find. I will continue to develop it the only ways I know how, and after about a month, if I can't make it any better, I will launch anyways.
Here's the site:-

And thank you!!!
____________________
some known problems:-
-----------------------------------
- site seems very bogged down, slow response and choppy scrolling (too many overlapping PNGs?)
- some repeating background graphics become "dislodged" at certain zooms (dynamic info menu and content framing) (IE).
- graphics pre-loading doesn't seem to work correctly.
- can't select (content) body-text (line-height?).
