No. No. 

We can make a template (as in one) that will work for all the browsers.

The sample "comp-stevehall-08.htm" is that the look we want? Color's, 
images, top level nav.

If that is what we want; I can do a HTML 4.01 template that will 
validate. We should use an external style sheet; any thing that can't 
read an external style dosn't work with css anyway.

Let me know and I'll start on it.
