Well, this caught my eye because I've done 3 or 4 sites for people
in this field of work!

I am okay with the size of the font, but I would drop the bolding.
That will help, for example, on the bio page where there is no
appearance change between the H4 heading and the body text.

I'm also wondering why, when you're already using a stylesheet,
you have B (depricated!) tags in the HTML itself - better to
define a class for body text, I would think. There's a few
FONT tags too, which would work just as well as part of the
stylesheet.

Also, I noticed double and triple BR tags where a P tag would
be more appropriate.

I actually like the drop-down menus, thought they are the type
of feature I normally don't. They work well here, but will need
to be checked to make sure that navigation is still possible in
other, older browsers. One thing I did notice was that as I
ran my mouse across the navigation text, the position of the text
and dividing lines shifted slightly, giving an effect which
I liken to that of a dog's back when you tickle a sensitive spot...
Unnerving! I think it's because on hover, you change from
"Verdana, Arial..." to "Arial, Verdana..." so for those of us
with both fonts, we're switching fonts on a mouseover, giving a
change of width to the text. Stick with a consistent alternative
font order throughout.

Content looks like it will be adequate for her needs, though
there's not enough there yet to be sure.
