Nice and simple, just how sites should be. I did spot a javascript error on one of the pages though.

Funny how they talk about "user experience" but have sideways tabs. That's always a no-no. Nobody likes to read sideways.

I love this page. The simplicity is so nice and the color scheme works incredibly well with the idea of apples and oranges. Great clean work.

I love read sideways.

Seriously though. It's nice but the nav buttons are a bit irritating.

I have to agree with Dustin...the sideways buttons are really bad. Also, the orange and green text in the content is larger than the masthead text...a big mistake; content should never be larger than the masthead...unwritten and basic rules. The layout confuses me a little bit, but overall, okay site.

i like your site, its pretty good individual site. A couple of things... Is it necessary to have such a large viewstate? It really a large amount of extra text, personally i would turn it off at the page level and on for given controls. Also the table really fixes your site to a given format.

Sorry but I agree the sideways tabs are pretty bad, The lime green and orange txt is illegible in parts of the site. This doesn't work for me...

Sideways tabs might be ok on a very fashony site...maybe selling wild clothing for young rock-n-roll fans...but I agree with the others, and if you're going to go sideways, at least use a more attractive font.

Also, everything almost fits above the fold in IE at 1024 x 768, but a bit of vertical scrolling is required. I'd find a way to make it all above the fold. Unless it's my Google toolbar that's causing the scrollbar to appear. That might be what Joe said...I'm not sure.

Hey I agree...and I designed the damn thing :)

Originally it was only two tabs which was a bit better, and I was only playing around with it. Then it became three...and now four. Bleh. I know it's not working, and I need even more menu items soon.

Unfortunately I have more ideas than time to create them...anyone have some spare time I can borrow?

I love the side ways tabs. It's only one word on each tabs so it's very easy to read without turning your head. I don't see why people find it such a problem. Also I love the site, it's simple yet beautiful.
