Hey, I've got two pages that I would really appreciate some critique on. I'm more of a back-end person, so I'm terrible at artsy stuff and need help choosing colors and stuff

Pages:

http://tinyurl.com/6bd68a:

On a large screen, the length of the text lines becomes so long it's unreadable; max length should be about 40-44ems (60-70 characters).

Really awkward first sentence:
Why we opened a Lightyear business can be expressed in one word.

How about: "We opened a Lightyear.... "

On the wide screen the right-hand white column goes all the way into the heading.

Make their email address an actual link?

The first picture in the gallery is captioned Our house -- but it shows the two people.


The page is nice looking, but really light on substance -- the text is mostly fluff and doesn't tell anyone what the site is about or for.

On a wide screen, the right-hand white column reaches into the grey header -- however, unlike the first page, the gray doesn't stop at the edge of the white, it's slightly offset.

There's a (huge!) download link with no idea WHAT I'd be downloading, so I wouldn't.

The grey is nice, the layout is nice except for where it's broken on a wide screen.

Thanks for your input! Would you mind letting me know what screen resolution the site broke at? My laptop I'm on only goes up to 1440px.

Thanks again.
