I'd use contrasting background colours for the body and your page div and either make the header a bit smaller or throw some provocative text or thumbs in there.

Although the css is a bit redundant, I generally have my headers set up something like this:

Code:
#header  {
    position:relative;
    display:block;
    width:100%;
    height:120px;
    margin:5px 0 15px 0;
    padding: 10px 0 0 0;
    overflow:hidden;
    background: #fff;
    font-family:verdana, arial;
    font-size:8pt;
    text-align: center;
}
Although that's a site-specific example, I adjust the font-size, family, height, etc. to fit whatever promo I'm using, and change the padding and margins to give a bit of space around it.

I doubt this is a very clear example, but I've got to run. I don't mind the actual layout of your site. Very simple, easy to navigate and clean. You just need a tiny bit of pizzazz and a lot more content.

P.S. Wish there was a "Save Post" option for later editing Gotta go...
