Site title is too long for some places - try to stick to 3 or 4 words max.

Mouseovers on your banners will probably improve Click Through Ratio (CTR)

The banners could be deemed blind by some LLs - esp http://www.jism.ca/freesite/ftv/1/468x60_2_alison.gif - add text and link it only if you're unsure

Same goes for the unlinked banner on the front page

That being said - it'll be listed at Sch when we get to it

Your thumbnails are too big. Try for 7k max. Reduce full size image filesize to average 40k while keeping longest side 500px+ and avoiding overcompression.

<table style="text-align: left; width: 600px;"

Change text-align:left to center.

Overall, your galleries look like just thumbnails posted on html. Not a reason for a decline, but I'd advice you to check out some design alternatives so the page isn't so much of a vertical scroll.

Also, you have black text on grey bg on your gallery pages. Use color contrast and various italics/bold/etc to make text more compelling to read.
