Hi John
It renders fine in Opera 9.01 on Mac OS X 10.4.8.
I agree with Nikita - more contrast would help, particularly since
visited links are sorta lilic on lilic.
You might want to think about a [Skip navigation] link at the start
of the navigation. Otherwise people using screen readers are going
to hear "Home, Product Range, Trade Fairs, Stockists, Enquiries,
Links, Partners" at the start of every page.
Also, I'm not sure about the 'click here' links. Anyone trying to
scan the page by just jumping from link to link is going to see:
"click here" ... "click here" ... "clicking here".
And on the Product Range page,
<http://www.lilaccoast.co.uk/product_range.htm>
you might want to improve your alt tags. Currently you have "click
to see our Blossom range", "click to see our Grape range", etc. You
might want to consider just trying "Our Blossom range", "Our Grape
range", etc.
Hope that this is of some help.

Hi Max,
Looks good here with Safari and Firefox, even with JS turned off. The
text on some of the pages is pretty low-contrast, though. The home
page is a good example. Darker text, please! I'm protanopic (can
distinguish fewer shades of red & green than most people) which might
have something to do with it.
Opera runs on many platforms; I don't know that I'd expect any
different rendering on a Mac. Also, Safari's rendering engine (Webkit)
is based on KHTML from Konqueror. As time goes by they're probably
diverging more and more (maybe they're more like cousins than siblings
now), but if you're stuck in Windows, firing up a Linux Live CD (or
having a dual boot partition) is a low-commitment way to see how your
sites render with KHTML which might also give you a hint as to how it
renders with Webkit.
