EARTh is a European Regression Therapy Association, with members all over the world.
2 Years ago, I got the job to convert their static website into Elxis CMS. I met strong insistence from the previous designer & the customer to keep the OLD 80's design & style & coding for the frontend. And so I did.
Now after 2 years, I took the job to redesign the whole website.
Some things about the site & the design:
Elxis CMS 2009.2 POWER !!
Event Calendar
eforms
eForum
jquery & superfish for menu's
IOS NoobSlider
Canvas for therapist world map

I am waiting for your comments.

It looks quite nice as general design, even is not finished yet
Some remarks
1. I just saw the site with a laptop and i noticed that on mouse over on 2nd horizontal menu i had to scroll down to see all vertical sub-menu is appearing clicking on Information. Maybe you should decrease line-height to be shorter all vertical sub-menus.
2. World Map is not visible to click small countries. For example how i can see and click on Luxemburg? You should use a flash map with zoom option.
3. The wrapped site (http://www.earth-association.org/ext/4th-world-congress.html) is appearing with horizontal scrolling bar and does not look so nice

Design
Good Job Niko! I like the way that you have match the colors of this website.
I agree with Nikos above about the line heights of the top menu item.
Developing
1. On the top menu item Miscellaneous -> Sitemap try to change the url that listen from DOMAIN NAME.COM/component/option,com_sitemap/Itemid,63/ to DOMAIN NAME.COM/sitemap/
2. I found some errors after W3C Validation CSS (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.earth-association.org%2F) and XHTML (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.earth-association.org%2F). I think that it's great idea to correct them!
Keep going!

Hello and thank you all for the comments.
The line heights for the superfish menu, the customer need it so big, it is after his request.
. Therapist map, is already developing into flash map.
. Wrapped site, they had an upgrade on there site, and they made it more wide. I will create a new template with out the right column.
. Thanks for the sitemap, fixed.
. CSS & XHTML I will fix it soon.
Again thank you all.

Why haven't you try something like that :
index.php (template)
<?php if ( $option != 'com_wrapper') { ?>
<div id="rightcolumn">
<?php mosLoadModules('right', -2); ?>
</div>
<?php }else { ?>
<div id="content_area" style="width:970px;">
<?php mosMainBody(); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
It means that you have one wrapped page. For more than 1 wrapped pages not suggested that! :)
