The whole layout terribly breaks with one notch zoom in (ctrl + plus). As you are using a rather small font, I wouldn’t consider zooming in an unusual move.

Good observation. I don’t zoom in and so I never checked it.
When style sheets are turned off the site degrades gracefully and zooming is not an issue. Do you think this is an acceptible alternative?

I know no one who turns off style sheets when a web page turns illegible, this is a “uber-geek-only” solution. Most of your visitors who have more than 100% zoom will simple turn away if the site looks broken, and they would at least not have the best opinion on your competence in ICT and s/w dev. That really hurts your business, imho.

Do you think one level of zoom is appropriate or should it allow more?

Why don’e you try an em based layout? The only element I can see which forces a fixed width in px is the header image. Make it wider than the widest screen, and you are not limited with respect to width. Then choose your dimensions for 100% to be about 750 px wide. You might be interested in one of my client’s sites for a sample: SYSCOMM – Kommunikationstraining für Techniker. This one scales well between approx. 70 and 160 per cent zoom.

Could I pay you pay you to make the fix? What would you charge?

Funny. This company contacted me for a proposal and never responded. When I received the RFP, the design was already done — they were just looking for a TXP developer.
