In the brief test we did here on the office PC running XP and IE6, a site I’m working on was a true car crash - but I know it’s a proper Freeway-generated standards compliant site that works nicely in proper browsers =o)
Anyway, could some kind person take a peep at the URL in IE7 and report on their findings. If you visit in a proper grown-up browser, you can see how it’s supposed to look.

Heather, are you sure it does; did you intend to main content area to
be stuck to the right side of the browser window?

Hi Paul
Yes, it is currently stuck to the right side. It’s a work in progress,
based on the mockup the client chose. I’m not entirely happy with it
at the moment, partly because there’s a lot of text to fit in - which
the mockup didn’t cater for…
Anyway, there’s a measure of flexibility built in right now, which may
or may not continue through to the final version.
OK looked at it on a P*** of C*** - much to my disgust. (Deathly slow Acer Aspire Laptop whose keyboard is fried so I have to use an onscreen version)
Anyway - apart from the text block stuck to the right - the Strapline “Monitoring…” is on top of the text and makes it difficult to read (1280x800).
The Nav Button text is not centred on the Buttons so looks a bit funny.
As far as the sites looks in general go - I like it but, viewing on a laptop it is a bit top heavy and a lot of the text is below the fold. Or maybe it just appears that way because of the “Monitoring…” graphic.
Dan and Dave, thank you for the comments and the screen grab. It’s
encouraging that IE7 rendered it adequately.
We’ve had a general rethink of the whole design, and taken things back
to basics. I was never totally happy with the design chosen (even
though I created it!) especially when the copy turned out a long
longer than I envisaged. It was also trying to be too clever.
So, we’ve taken another approach. When we have something to show I’ll
post it.
