    Our first post and first site for you guys (and girls) to critique

    Hi All,

    Been lurking a while now and have seen lots of good advice/opinion given so thought that I would slip a site on here to see what you think ;-)

    I like the style, the only thing that puts me off the layout is the far right column, it takes away from the main content area which should be the main focus. The right bar is really just extra main content that could have gone below horizontally and the extra space would have let the main section breath a bit better.

    Gotta agree with toon, it being on the right is crowding it up.

    I would also decrease the height of the top most header. so it fits around the logo better.

    Love it other than them things

    I'll echo the previous comments, the layout could use a little more breathing room by adding more padding around the images and the right column. Other than that, the color choices and images look great.

    I like cleaness and crispness and this design overall. I agree about the sidebar as well.

    I also think your header area is too tall. On smaller screens, your page-flip demo gets cut off. I'd definitely look for that to be "above the fold."

    Also, the demo loop needs more smoothness. A little more "hold" time after the last flip will time it better to return to the start.

    Hope this helps.

    A nice work! Good layout and color scheme. Easy to navigate and loads fast.

    Just have one comments on the left column where the "They Say" part is located. Not sure if it's intended not to put a quotation mark on the Comments but much better if you put the marks.

    Many thanks for all your comments, we will be looking at the side bar, header and flipping brochure animation.

    Thank you
