Not bad, if that's your first design I expect you will be quite good at this after a few more!

The site is laid out nicely, easy to navigate, the colors are easy on the eyes. All in all I would give it a 5/10.

Good job!

Not bad for a first 'go' at css. Atleast you're proactive and take the time to write css than people who slice up photoshop images. TWO THUMBS UP

Couple of boo-boos in your HTML.
One little itty bitty error in your CSS...

Your page is off center horizontally (at least in Mac FireFox) because of this:

Code:

.page {
    margin : 10% 20% 0 20%;
    padding : 0;
    width : 720px;
    height : 610px;
}

If you just center the div it'll be perfect.

Very good effort for a first timer, but still choice of color is not good especially the background gradient and the pattern behind the main content body imo.

Thanks for comments

I suppose it is not a complicated website so there are few places where I can screw up.
I do not have any good knowledge in Photoshop so I tried to make it visualy attractive as much as I can.

Oh er another problem I wanted solve is when validated the site it asked me to put doctype in it, so I did that, then I got lots of errors coz I didnt use XHTML which I dont know any.
Should I still leave as it is or take out doctype and I will get only 2 or 3 errors instead 33.

Leave the doctype as it is and try to remove the errors by correcting your code.

Nice And Easy Look To It. Easy Site Navigation Is Good. Note Sure The Banner Goes With It Because Of The irish Colours In The Text.

For a first site I will say great job. However; a few suggestions, first, I am not crazy about the colors, I would (IMO) would change the green in your header the www part to a softer green maybe like this.

Then I would use that green and the orange that you have already more throughout the page, maybe some of your columns or something. I will say blue is my favorite color but to much of any one color is not appealing. Hope this helps.

Very nice site:

I like....

1. The structure of it
2. The logo looks professional
3. The text is nice and easy to see

I dislike...

1. The blue hurts my eyes a bit but then again my eyes are not too good

2. It is more to the right than centered
