Hey John,
I think the underlining is too much. I like the wording, but all the underlines makes it hard to read. The spacing of some of the wording seems a little off - out of balance.
I agree about the light blue. When I cursor over the link, I can no longer read what I'm one. It doesn't look right on the other pages either.
I looked at your comp team page. Too many different font's and color schemes. Pick one and make it all consitent. It looks like it was pasted together. Same for the Contact us page.
I would go out and look at sites YOU think look really nice and try and emulate some of the color schemes, layouts and fonts. Use a consistent font and color scheme throughout the site.
If you're in DC again this year, I'll look for, otherwise, I'll see you at Que n Cruz.
