I congratulate you for finding a non-web designer who was able to get the job done well for you.

In my experience traditional print designers generally do not do a good job of creating a website design. They don't understand the deal with background images or what is and isn't possible, they prefer to use nonstandard fonts (easily fixed) and they typically don't understand what is and isn't possible with the technology being used.

Here's an example of what a print designer came up with for a website for a client of mine: http://cocunderground.com/fpt.jpg

The original designs looked best in my opinion, but the final (read, compromised) version can be seen at http://freepromotips.com
