I like it, but there's room for improvement. I don't think it's too small. I like small websites, though I wouldn't go much smaller than that. Its nice to have something that will fit an 800x600 resolution with no problems.
However, I think the main content box should be a bit wider. Something else that kinda bugs me is the placement of the navigation and content boxes. I think the navigation should line up with the left side of the banner, and the content should line up with the right side of the banner.
This brings me to the banner itself. It's a bit big, don't you think? I think it'd look better if you made the banner a bit shorter. I do like how the word "Zen" kinda drifts off the side of the banner, but I think the word should be bigger, and dominate the banner. Also, what's up with such a drastic color cut near the top of the banner? I think it'd look better with that darker blue all the way, or at least faded more seamlessly.
Sonire pretty much has the right idea. Small websites are nice, 800x600 is what I usually always start off with and work with the size, sometimes it ends up smaller, other times bigger.
The only thing I could add to Sonires thoughts is the sprites, they kind of ruin the smoothness of the rest of the page. Also, I hate the bar pattern in the background, maybe make it a gradient?
