Looks better yea, but on my screen the header colour and footer colours are completely different. The footer looks lighter than the header. My monitor is a Samsung GX5500 HD and i have a ForceFX 8500GT Graphics card so i know my colours are true. It might be because i'm tired though...Lol

Try some different colour combinations, I like the layout but not digging the grey much I'm afraid.

Okay guys I am now trying to code the header and I am having my first experience with floating parts together to form rounded corners and struggling badly lol

Here is the code so far:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--

body {margin:0 auto; padding:0;}

#wrapper {width:100%; margin:0 auto;}


#headerbg {

background: url(headerbg1.png) repeat-x #FFFFFF;
height:171px;

}

#headerleft {

background:url(headerlogo.gif) no-repeat #FFFFFF;
width:175px;
height:116px;
position:absolute;
float:left;

}

#navigation {

width:500px;
height:42px;
float:right;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
margin-top:116px;


}

#navleft {

width:22px;
height:42px;
float:left;
background-image:url(navleft.gif);
background-color:#FFFFFF;
margin-top:116px;
margin-left:445px;


}



-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div id="wrapper">

<div id="headerbg">

<div id="headerleft"></div>

<div id="navleft"></div>
<div id="navigation"></div>

</div>









</div>
</body>
</html>
Yeah I like whitespace

you need to contain the corner, so I have remove the margins and then placed the image in the navigation

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--

body {margin:0 auto; padding:0;}

#wrapper {width:100%; margin:0 auto;}


#headerbg {

background: url(headerbg1.png) repeat-x #FFFFFF;
height:171px;

}

#headerleft {

background:url(headerlogo.gif) no-repeat #FFFFFF;
width:175px;
height:116px;
position:absolute;
float:left;

}

#navigation {

width:500px;
height:42px;
float:right;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
margin-top:116px;


}

#navleft {

width:22px;
height:42px;
float:left;
background-image:url(navleft.gif);
background-color:#FFFFFF;


}



-->
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div id="wrapper">

<div id="headerbg">

<div id="headerleft"></div>


<div id="navigation">
<div id="navleft"></div>
</div>

</div>

</div>
</body>
</html>
