Observations:

You should run this through a validator, such as http://validator.w3.org/, and correct the errors it identifies.

Your top navigation links use a bottom border on hover... which makes the overall size of the #sitenav container increase when links are hovered. A trick used in the blue and green bulletproof colorsets, which also use borders on links when hovered, is to set a border for the link itself which matches the background color..... that way, links always have a border... it just changes colors on hover!! In your template, this would work:

Code: Select all

#sitenav ul a:link{
    border-bottom: 1.5px solid #000000;
}

I'd suggest to enlarge the #sitenav container anyway (i.e. give it some additional padding-bottom) to get some space between the underlines and the banner images. Just my 2 cents.

Other than that, it's really nice to see all those BP derivates come to life :)

As YL says, it's great to see all the bulletproof derivatives coming online. Your s looks well designed to me - nice work.

I hope to start featuring some of these great designs on the bulletproof website soon - and hope that some of you will contribute new designs for others to download ;-)
