I echo the last three comments, especially the ones from James. The site DOES look better. The changes may seem subtle, but they do make a big difference in the professional appearance of the site.

I too feel the pages are too wide for most users. My computers are set for 1024 pixels screen width which is very common these days. There are not many folks using a higher resolution. Your new pages exceed that width a bit which means people must scroll left and right to view the entire page. I think the designers should bring the width down to no more that 1024 width or perhaps change the code so that your columns are a percentage of the user's display resolution (in otherwords make the page automatically adjust to the user's screen size..this is easily done in the code.) These adjustments should be without charge considering what has already been charged.

I think when you meet with the designer that you should review with him/her the comments made above by langsor. The use of stylesheets should have eliminated the need for most if not all font and display tags so the fact they pasted in your old code with these tags essentially ruins many benefits of the stylesheets... particular the ease at which you can manage background colors, type styles, etc.

The appearance and functionality of your new site is good, but was done with sloppy coding. Use this fact to come to a reasonable compromise on the price of the work.

If you expected a complete overhaul of the look and feel of your site and this was clear to the developers, they have a lot more work yet to do.
