would love input re my project

Hi guys I can't believe I'm actually building my first website! I know it's small compare to some of the sites some of you pros build but you gotta start somewhere. My friend just opened a grooming salon and business is a little slow so I'm hoping this will bring his store some traffic. I'm including a link to Dropbox. The two main issues I'm struggling with are with Print Preview, inside the main header is the site's name but when I apply the @media print and set the background to transparent, there is a big chunk of space where the main header and no h1. I tried applying .main-header h1 and setting the text to align to center but that doesn't work. The other issue is the image in the main nav (it's suppose to be a clasp) when I make the viewport smaller it does some quirky hiding/scrolling behind the main-nav li, I don't' want it to do that. Sorry this is so long, also i would love any and all input from you pros. Thanx a million! Ingrid

Without looking, instead of setting the background to transparent, try collapsing it. I would say just use display:none in your print stylesheet but I assume the h1 resides in the header? So play with the height of the background or remove the header background image if there is one that is setting the height/width. It sounds like all you are after from the header is the H1 when printed so you should be trying to remove whatever is dictating the empty height/width.
