I was intrigued by the idea of a css only theme under Drupal 6. I have put together a new website for a law firm using this feature. The only files in my theme are a .info file and style.css. All of the page templates and module templates are default from core. So far, I have not installed any modules. I plan to add a few features, some of which may require me to add my own page.tpl.php file, but for now it is css only.
What do you think? What could be done better?
The site:

A quick Google search would find the old site, if you want to compare.

I've been playing around with this. I can't seem to figure out how to get the footer on the bottom if I theme it to a 2-column layout. Any ideas?
Can I see what you're doing?
I use a two column layout for authenticated users with an admin menu in the left sidebar. The footer displays fine for that.
I found myself constantly referring to the default page.tpl.php file that is in /modules/system/ to get the page structure and id/class names.
The navigation, sidebars, and content sections are included inside the container div, the footer appears after the container div. So, it should be too hard to get it to appear at the bottom. I include a couple of divs in my footer that are just typed into the text box on Site Information.
If you have a live sandbox that you are experimenting with, I would be happy to check it out.

Isn't It Great
The power of the CSS only theme is great now.
