The dsg is nice - clear, and accessible.
Oh one more thing, check the W3C CSS Validator for http://www.thebravern.com/commons/index.html" href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebravern.com%2Fcommons%2Findex.html&usermedium=all">results.

This may be off topic, but there is no real googleable text on the home page. Great design, but is it really helping the client?

Joshnig: I can answer that!
We were coding this thing hours before launch and we had to run it off a laptop to show the client. (without internet access) Unfortunately, a browser opening files off a hard drive on my Mac opens the finder--not the browser--if you don't have index.html in the URL. (We should have set a local host on my hard drive.)
But yes, we have every intention of going in and doing some *major* clean-up on the code...
Thanks for comments!

Fixed font sizes mean the text can't be resized in IE. Unlike a lot of sites, it handles text resizing perfectly well, so why not use relative sizes? It would be much more accessible.
The horizontal rule type images are unnecessary. They could just as easily be achieved with CSS borders or as background images.
And there are a couple of broken links, but overall it's very impressive.

The only niggle I have is the footer on large screens just sort of chops off into the background colour. Maybe a little highlight and drop shadow to match the rest of the site would fix this?
Great looking site, well done.
Cheers!

People who need larger fonts for accessibility will either have their screen DPI changed at the system level, which makes everything bigger, or will be using a different browser anyway. The only folks who use IE's font-resizing feature are those who are testing sites to see if they work with IE's font resizing feature.
