It's a good job but here are a few constrictive pointers. Some of what I've written below amounts to a matter of taste (and you can't please all the people all the time, right?), while the rest are about standards.
Ignore as you see fit.
Aesthetics
*I personally think that the green of the text is a little jarring on the eyes. In fact, there is just too much green going on with the text and the background. The background makes the site look a little plain.
*I really don't like the top nav. I think you need to ditch the black line on the hover state and ultimately consider going for a different look all together. If you navigate to the contact page and look at the end of the nav bar you will hopefull see what I mean.
*It might just be my resolution but the arrow icons you have wrapped in the span tags (no need for them, btw) are positioned over the last letter of the text in the top nav.
*Some of the pages such as this (http://www.scriptureunion.ie/index.php/primaryschools/its-your-move) need to be tightened up.
*The logo needs to be more prominent and the head section needs to be spruced up.
*The psalm image is a little blurred
*Some of the inner pages (e.g. http://www.scriptureunion.ie/index.php/ovocamanor) use a different shade of green for the <a> and <h> tags.
Functionality
*You probably want to check the validation. On the home page alone there are 53 errors. Admittedly I wasn't using an HTML5 validator but it's nevertheless worth a look. I didn't check the CSS.
*There is some aliasing apparent on the gallery text in IE 8 - this is because you have used text-shadow. Perhaps drop this in your IE 8 stylesheet.
*The green background doesn't appear in IE 8. (No harm in my opinion
)
*The gallery doesn't function in IE 7
*Neither does the "What we do" section (I'm not a fan of the effects btw). Also, not sure you should be using <header> tags here. AFAIK, the header tag should only appear at top of your markup so it encompasses the logo, nav etc.
*The formatting of the text of in the WordLive Daily Devotion needs to be tightened up. Try a little margin or padding.
*Rounded corners aren't coming trough in IE 7/8. PM me if you want to know how to enable some of the major CSS3 functions (rounded corners, gradients, box, shadow etc) in IE 7/8
*The forward/ back buttons on the gallery are different in IE 8
*Check the colour of the "home" text in when looking at the nav in IE 7
*The site has enbedded js and css in the head section. This is really bad for SEO purposes. Pop them into external files.
*Avoid inline css like the plague.
*Cut down on use of <span>
*Compile all the css files into one main file (you can minify this as well). No sense in having the page load 20 (or whatever) stylesheets.
*Consider spriting the images.
Good job all the same. Give me a PM if you want.0
