Beautiful website. 9/10

- nice icons
- nice logo
- nice content
- again. Really nice!

Thanks guys... anyone else?

It's a pretty slick looking site. I think that the sidebars sub-menus with the white backgrounds and square corners stick out like sore thumbs compared to the rest of the layout though.

If the layout is stable you should really consider combining all of the jQuery library files into one file for serving to browsers. Same goes for the CSS.

I think this is the first time I've seen conditional comments used to selectively use tables in a layout. I'd love the hear the reasoning behind that.

The rest of the markup looks along the lines of something I would do.

to be honest, I just designed it... I have no clue about code.

I'll pass this link onto our developers... it sounds like perhaps you are on IE6? It doesn't handle the transparency of the side nav.

I know it was a bit lazy, but transparent pngs were used, I think.

Thanks for the comments!

I don't even support IE6 on my own sites, let alone use it.



I'm not seeing any transparency in either of the following browsers.




I've got too many things open to see if it's the same deal on Windows. Both Opera and Firefox are pretty good about keeping things working the same all around though. I'm sure you'll at least want to check up on Firefox.

ahh, I see what you mean now... yea, that is just a design choice. I guess it is just personal preference, I think it looks fine.

without sounding arrogant, I tend not to take advice on design elements (unless many people bring it up) as every has such differing views.

I'm more interested in bugs or usability advice.

Thanks though, Jay

Sorry to say but i realy dont like sites that use this popout content/menus, everywhere i move my mouse i get something sprung into my face, not good. I can hardly get to the content until i stop my mouse and find somewhere where it dont pop out.

Nice dark design, i like it great use on space and organization is perfect. Graphics are quality very pleasing, may want to lighten your footer text though as its kinda hard to read.

If you remove the annoying pops it would be a realy great site and design.

i'm afraid you are in the minority regarding the popups.... they are essential stock sites to increase ROI. Maybe I will add a disable feature though.

thanks, Jay

Design of the site looks good, menus are a litle bit confusing, it looks like a new popup window, maybe you can add some distinct signs to make it look more like a menu.

very dark text against a very dark background is hard to read, I have to strain a bit to know what it says. Consider a slightly lighter color. Didn't see any bugs in the design.

Hi - I love the concept.

I think that it's very useful to have the popups when you want to see something specific and get an idea of what it looks like.

I like the various content you have created or obtained. AWESOME

site looks cool....but i would prefer this type of dark background in a graphics site or a gallery site...your foucs seems like on products..so you can put some more efforts..

Thanks, every other stock site seems to be white, so I thought I would make it a little different. I think the products stand out well on the dark background, but I might change it if too many people dislike it.

well that was my personal opinion..you can consult others before going ahead..
