Camino browser...
Looks like the nav footer is some sort of DHTML as it displays on top of content. This is only visible on the News page, because that page has lots of text.
I'm also not at all fond of the 3 column format on the News page.
And each products graphic seems way too big (on Home and Products pages). Besides, the win one is a bit jaggy.
Were these created as pure bit maps or vector art? You REALLY want any logos like these done is vector; that will give you WAY more flexibility. You'll need to use these in a variety of contexts in a variety of sizes. For print, vector is the best quality way to go, especially as you can do it to the same quality level no matter how big or small it gets printed.
As for web use, the great thing about vector is that you can render it directly to the exact size you want and it will look excellent (render w/ anti-aliasing).

It's not DHTML, it's CSS. It's the fixed positioning that's the problem - I'm trying to figure out a way to get it to work.
Notice how the top banner and nav menu "sticks" to the top of the window when you scroll. I like this, but not all browsers do. IE doesn't show the "hover" states of the links when you used fixed positioning.
The 3-column format was an experiment with CSS. It will be replaced by something much simpler.
I know about the artwork, but I don't possess it. All we have is what we were given to paste into our about screens. Not sure if I can ever get anything better than that. I will be trying to over the next few weeks, though.

Sorry, I come from the stone age of coding (put my first server on the web in 93), so CSS is not exactly my strong suit.
The advice about the art will stand you well for anything you commission going forward, or knowing what to try and ask for.
