In 16, 256, 16-bit, and 32-bit the site is black text on white
background with a blue
border.  I'm not sure what you're seeing.

There is one image on the site.  Again, I'm not sure what you're
seeing.

I can't speak to content.  I wasn't asked to add any, and I'm not
sure what the point would be- the site has plenty of content at the
moment.  The trouble is, that content is difficult to reach:
navigation is hidden, the layout is not intuitive, and the design and
content have no relationship to one another.  But you are absolutely
right- this design is not an extension of content.

Nope.  If it doesn't work, it should be reworked until it does.
