With regard to form labels, you should try to make sure that all form
elements have true labels. This is the only reliable way to make sure
that form elements are understood correctly with a screen reader when
tabbing through forms. I do have to admit that some screen readers will
be able to interpret form elements if they have text in them, and they
may read them almost as if they were labels, but this still is not the
best practice.

As far as the rest of the site is concerned, I didn't look at it in
great detail, but be careful with drop-down menus. The menus that you
have for your main navigation are not accessible by keyboard. If you
want to continue to use these menus, you will need to create a method
for people to access these menu options using the keyboard. See
http://www.webaim.org/techniques/javascript/#dhtml and
http://www.webaim.org/techniques/keyboard/#problems for a brief
discussion of some of the concerns and workarounds for menus of this type.
