    That yellow text on turquoise background is almost impossible to read man.
    I'd really suggest a different color scheme if you want this site to convert at all.

    Not exactly sure which border/background issue you were referring to.

      There's a reference to a 'class' called Box_Header_Txt.

      Go search the css style sheet associated with this template, and find the section identified as Box_Header_Text. You will either need to add a background or change the color of the background that is already there (seems to be set to black #ffffff).

    And if you don't want to try to make these changes yourself, head over to Rentacoder.com (RAC). Post a job (it's free) and literally pay someone $5 to do it for you. You'll probably get a dozen or more replies within an hour. I use RAC all the time for stuff like this.

    Oh wow man I would change that background color ASAP! You can never go wrong with a white background over the text.

    Shannon,

    MY EYES!

    Seriously...here's a link to a color harmony tool...

    Regarding the border problem...here it is:

    In your HTML you have a style in one of your (many) table tags.

    Code:
    <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
style="border:1px solid #272727;
border-width:2px 26px 8px 26px;margin-bottom:3px;"class="box_body">
    Remove the "border-width" style and you should be good to go. So, the new table tag will be:

    Code:
    <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
style="border:1px solid #272727;margin-bottom:3px;"class="box_body">
    The part I removed is border-width:2px 26px 8px 26px;.

    (I broke up the table tag so you wouldn't have to scroll sideways to see the whole thing...you don't have to break yours apart like that.)

    However, if you want all that space the current border provides, then leave it as is and simply change the border color of #272727 to the blue background color you have there. There just won't be a visible border, once you do that.

    (The code in that template is pretty janky...if you're going to spend much time at all working under the hood, that's going to make for pretty rough times.)
