Critique: I think there's too much white overall. The lack of color variation makes the site boring to look at and leaves and unfinished feeling. With that considered, it is a nice touch that the header isn't a segregated box, which ads an interesting flow. The black bar at the very top gives a bit of definition, so if this element was pulled down and used on the navigation, it might help make the site look more complete. Having a thick border on the drop-down menus isn't very attractive and should be thinned out a little if they plan to keep it. Also, the pale blue color of the links should be used more throughout the site so the links don't feel so out of place. There's a little too much information in the footer that should be condensed. If there was a background color and variations of body area colors for each category of information, the site's good organization would stand out more.
