The first thing you should do is fix all of the HTML and CSS validation errors on the page. Then, you should tidy up the formatting / indentation of your HTML and CSS (it's all over the place). You should also add a type declaration to the on-page style tag.

To fix the bug, you need to move the "whiteBox" element to be a sibling of the "navcontainer" element. At the moment, it is a sibling of the "container" element - which I'd say is the wrong way to lay out your page.

You should also look at reducing the number of floated elements you have. Neither the "textbox" nor the "base" elements need to be floated - you just need to look at using some clears (the correct way to create your layout).

Incidentally:

- Why do you have a picture of David, when the shop is called Athena? Surely a picture of Athena would be more appropriate?

- Why does a hair & beatuty shop have details of a Spanish property site all over it?
