I really like it a lot. Clean sites work well with me too. It's easy to navigate, understand etc.

The one thing that I might add is an extra color. It doesn't have to be a lot - just a touch here and there. Like your Canadian symbol. It just adds a little extra to spruce up the site.

Great job.

I like the colors. The nav bar is nice too. Are the little squares at the tops going to be links? They look kinda inviting.

Is that you in the picture? Nice effects!

I also wondered the same thing about all of the little boxes. I kept hovering my mouse over them to see what might happen...and (so sad) nothing did. That would a be a very cool way to navigate!

OK I logged on to this chat quite late, BUT....

That site is really great! There is an art to making a website look clean, professional and engaging. minimalism in web design, though given lip service often enough is seldom utilised to it's fullest degree.
Just to put my two cents in (which by the way when converted from Aussie to US dollars -even Canadian currency -turns out to be a negative amount these days!) Those boxes are very inviting!!!

well done...

gee - I'm afraid to do anything but heap praise on you after all these glowing reviews!! - don't wanna sound like a real curmudgeon Wink - I guess color choice is a pretty individual thing, but I agree with Brooke that a dash or two of something would help - looked at your code - allow me to show off Roll eyes my meager html skills by noting that you could summarize your font styles like this:.menu {font: bold 12px Verdana, sans-serif; color: #ffffff}' - I can usually help people by editing their text, but this stuff's too much!!
