Ugh advice and oppinons

OKAY so recently I’ve been working on a website for a friend. And he gave me some layouts he liked, that he made in PS. I was not real keen on em, but thought maybe I would ask you guys. I did, and I got some negative feedback (which wasn’t really in the best taste, i.e. that’s horrible). I showed hom the thread, cause I told him that I was going to get some advice (should have just said I got no replys). Anyway, he got upset, but we moved on… I thought. I made a new design, which I think works rather well, but he is saying he’s going to discuss it with his bus. partner and with some other ‘web designers he knows and trusts’. I nearly missed that part of what he said; I said nearly the same thing when I told him I was bringing the site to you guys. I am worried that he will shoot it down out of spite. So I want some MORE opinions of the new layout. And if it sucks, I guess it sucks, but if there just needs some changes, I would be happy to do that.

here is my original little drawing of the layout…

and the site I constructed (and have stopped since he told me he wanted to talk about it with his bus. partner):

Mind you there will be some more content, ack and I jsut realized the site is causing horiz scrolling. And some of the borders aren’t showing, haven’t fixed that. But I think it looks alright, any ideas/opinions?

thanks again guys!
