    LOL it is only a little behind. I personally like the old design. It is fast and gets the job done. Also easy to find what I am looking for.

    It was redesigned about 18 months ago (sorta)... The navigation on the left was changed from individually gif images to just text/CSS. That actually was a necessity because the site was getting so much traffic that the extra 15 or so requests for images per page view was wrecking havoc on the web servers. Also, the few images still there are defined within the CSS file (except for the one for the page title) to eliminate image http hits.

    So... if someone wants to take a stab at redesigning it, be my guest... but it would need to be at least as easy to use, it would need to be smaller in size (for example http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ is 7895 bytes) and certainly can't use more images than it does now.

    Are you keen on using all the same fonts?

    What's the font on the italic 'Digital Point Solutions' next to the logo, top left?

    Why not make the redesign a contest of sorts. Not sure what winner would get, but some type of competition. Something for fun and to see what the members here could come up with. You never know Shawn may find a new look he likes.
