Re: A really Fishy site
I think your site is very appealing visually. It's elegant, simple to navigate and easy on the eye. One thing about the colour scheme, my eyes would have preferred the base colour to be a lighter blue, but that's a personal observation (obviously the lighter the background, the more difficult a white font is to read). The colourful graphics at the top and right are perfect for the subject matter as well as being very polished and engaging. Like angelize, I too prefer your design and layout to the TM template.
One thing I would remove is the rather annoying "bubble" sound on page transitions. I was playing some soft chillout music when I entered the site and as I flipped from page to page it really did become rather annoying. I know many site owners (as opposed to developers) love the idea of sound on their pages but, frankly, try to dissuade them. There's a ton of research available to show that site visitors react negatively to unannounced and unrequested sound.
Your content could use a fair bit of refinement to make it more search engine friendly and, if this content was supplied by the customer, you have an opportunity here to make a little bit extra by informing your customer of this.
Remember that website visitors do not read page content, they scan it, for content relevant to their interests. Search engines, on the other hand, read every word, so maximise the available space by including as many keyword-rich phrases as you can get away with without being accused of keyword spamming. Do a search on these topics, there's a wealth of free SEO information out there!
Well done, it's a very nice site - your customer should be very satisfied 
If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
