Okay, I've found a way into the navigation of the site (clicking on
privacy statement gave me some links to click around on). This problem
not withstanding, here are some thoughts:
1. Centered text is bad. Two reasons, one personal, the other factual.
Personally, I think it looks like bad poetry. But seriously, it is
difficult to read centered text because the eye does not know where it
begins. I would avoid centering text except if you're assured that the
line will not wrap, and then with caution.
2. I think I'd up the default font size one. At 800x600, the line
length is still very much beyond the comfortable number of words. Once
again, the eye becomes lost on long lines, and can lead to fatigue.
3. I think you should differentiate the navigation sections more than
you do (now, it's just bold-- but the same style/size). While the side
navigation does stand-out adequately as it is now, the top navigation
is probably not easily noticed.
4. You've got the beginnings of a wonderful color palette, but you
under utilize it. All you do are section titles in the color behind the
logo. I think you could use color more effectually.
Hth,
daniel
