Contrast and Uniformity

As far as the visual uniformity and contrast, I ftp'ed a basic design for my Instructional Website. I will replace the basic colors, especially the links on the bottom, with gifs that look a bit more professional. I'm addressing uniformity by simply copy and pasting the basic structure of my website to every page I create. I really haven't decided what font my site is, but that's something I will decide later (there are more important things I need to consider right now).

One important contrast/uniform trick I'm employing is a color code that matches the progression the user will take through the site. For example, the user begins at the "First Third Link" (poorly named, but it's just a place holder) and its color is green. All the sublinks below it are green, and in the main content area, the color of the border will be green also. The middle content box background will either be white or a dull color, but the content will be text. Hopefully, this will draw people's eyes down to the bottom of the page where all the links are and at the same time, give the user a visual clue as to where he or she is relative to the other steps.


NOTE: To temporarily alleviate my div tag issue, I'm doing tables within tables to basically get a similar effect, but I really don't want the user to have to load a brand new page to do this (which is what tables within tables forces the user to do).
