To make things easier on yourself, select a photo that you think will represent your site and its content well. Then, choose some colors within the photo to match up to the rest of your site. If there are green trees and a blue sky in the photo, sample the tree for the green and the sky for the blue. This will give your site a more cohesive feel. Then you can pick complimentary shades of each color for interior items. (or contrasting colors if you feel brave)
Here is some code that you can use to simplify your navigation. I did not do much with the colors, but this will get you started. First use this for your HTML:
<ul id="navbar">
<li><a target="main" href="556.html">Content</a></li>
<li><a target="main" href="556.html">Content</a></li>
<li><a target="main" href="556.html">Content</a></li>
<li><a target="main" href="556.html">Content</a></li>
<li><a target="main" href="556.html">Content</a></li>
<li><a target="main" href="556.html">Content</a></li>
<li><a target="main" href="556.html">Content</a></li>
</ul>
And this for your CSS:
#navbar {
background-color:#DDE9AB;
float:left;
width:17.5%;
list-style-type: none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#navbar a {
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-color:#DDE9AB;
margin:0;
padding:5px;
text-decoration:none;
display: block;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px 0;
border-top-color: white;
border-bottom-color: black;
color:green;
}
#navbar a:hover {
background-color: orange;
color:#99CC00;
border-top-color: black;
border-bottom-color: white;
}
I would highly recommend losing the iFrames in your final design. This will bring an additional level of complication.
