Well. You have JavaScript for the top navigation. In FireFox with JS
disabled, it doesn't work at all.
I would suggest useing some normal text links a long the bottom of the
page which match those in the top nav bar. As you can not get to your
contact link unless you use the top navigation with JS enabled. Which
is not always possable.

Ummm. Shouldn't you have tested that yourself before placeing the site
on the web?.

Yes. You need to do something regarding the JavaScript thing.

Well. Regarding the price. I don't think $99 per year is that expensive
for Non-proffits. There are a lot of community groups who do have a lot
of money to spend, through donation etc etc.
