It is good to know that you are a mensch and can take some honest criticism.
Because big red banners are not only trite they are just butt ugly. Though that may just be an artifact of viewing this on a 32" LCD. It doesn't look quite so garish on my 3" iPhone.
All in all the blockiness of the design is a little too much Moscow circa 1956 and too little Prague circa 1968. That is maybe some balance between Soviet Realism and Velvet Revolution might be in order here.
Which I guess would make me a soft Leftie.
The primary user interface flaw in the design is the choice of a san serif font. San serif fonts are for getting people to look at the text as a pretty design rather than for reading the bloody words.
In 1956 you could watch Frank Sinatra on TV, for free. Now you pay for HBO and get Justin Timberlake. Q.E.D.
I agree about typeface. I tried to set it for Times and it ignored me, kind of like my daughter.

I like the white background and find the vertical columns on the RHS useful. It's just this tiny comment box that annoys me but I I'm told it's a software problem.
Thanks for your efforts, Mgt. Overall it's a pretty good job.
Nicely done.
It addresses all of my previous suggestions, so thank you.
I like the red.
I am tired of living in a world that thinks the design palette, like the politics, must be white and black with a soupcon of gray for a daring color choice.

The graphics are lovely. I'm not too choosey. Question: Why do I have to do the word verification thing twice before the comment gets posted? Why do you have the word verification thing at all?
It would help navigation, I think, if the banner "EconoSpeak" returned you to the home page.
I'm not suggesting that taupe be offset by mauve with just soupcon of dove grey, just that we could look at the history of art without concluding that our color solutions come out of the beginner crayon box. It's not just color it is patterns. In some weird circles it is called 'sophistication'. Not all of us figured that the Morrises were traitors to the Cause
