Don't take it personally, I have noticed not many people post in this part of the forum. Well done on creating 3 sites, they are clean and easy to navigate, have you thought of laying out your sites using css rather than tables?
How did you style up the forms like that? Not only the alternative row colour but the width of the columns etc...

Yes, I used all tables. I'm not CSS savvy, although i just picked up a book on it and hope to learn more about it.
For the forms, I used
http://mycontactform.com. I bought the premium membership, which was $25 for the year. The have a free membership, too.

Good on you for getting a book, that's how I started learning. Its really easy when you get the hang of it.
CMSMS has a forms module too. Could save you $25!

One month ago i only used CSS for font and colour. Its so easy to learn CSS for layout, really is worth it!!! I suggest Eric Meyer he has relly good book thats takes you throught the steps with projects, and a great online support website. Also see CSS Zen garden. Using CSS for layout is so powerful although it is sometimes made hard to get IE and Mozilla to display the same (Not Moz's fault). It is very important for accessability...
Couple of accessabilty tests,
- On your site hold CTL and rotate you mouse wheel...the text show grow and shrink for those with sight problems...
- Also if you have the Firefox Developer toolbar, click CSS > Disable CSS. Notice the clean tabular data all listed in order compared to that of a table layout.
