I don't care for the brown background behind the text, but otherwise it really is fine. Maybe not your best work, but if it's what the client wants...

If you do have to keep the brown background, you might try different colors for the text and have the background go right to the edges instead of having the little bit of white on the sides.

I don't have issue with the light brown background, pink and brown isn't a bad combination, but with the gray and black logo, and the gray background, it might be more cohesive to follow thru with those colors. Sometimes you have to umm... guide clients a bit, even if they THINK they want something.

One thing you should do though - put your text into proper paragraphs -meaning inside <p></p> tags and not a lot of text separated by line breaks.

hmm I may have said something about the colour of brown as well. Personally I think the best colour you could use there would be white. And then maybe make the border grey or brown and the header the same. Unless your client specifically wants it like that for theme reasons.

Also I validated your page and you have a simple error.
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
Which you did on line 34.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mynapw.com/templates/PWA/style.css" type="text/css">
Should be
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mynapw.com/templates/PWA/style.css" type="text/css" />

And although it wont show as an error Red is right you should use the <p> tags for text on a page.

Just my $0.02 worths

If that's what they asked for, that's all you can do for them. However, one thing that would improve the site, and they probably wouldn't care/notice is changing the font to something like Verdana, Helvetica or Arial.

My random thought: Pink is a very hard color to work with.
