I think your site looks nice, very professional.
I'm not too fond of grey-scale but I don't go to many sites like yours so I don't know what the 'norm' is or isn't.
You might make the background color white since there are two verticle bars of grey the hug both sides of the page obscuring each site a bit while the pages load. I'm assuming they come from the background. ??
I would repeat the red color lightly throughout the pages. Just to balance the bottom and contents with the top red, which is overbearing - but I don't mean that in a bad way. :-)
