    The offset padding in the header looks like a rendering error, the use of pixel metric fonts is a middle finger to usability and accessibility, the ATTEMPT at being responsive isn't triggering when it should, several sections -- including your most important one, prices/stats -- have illegible colour contrasts like white on cyan and grey on dark grey, and the 'thin glyph" Avenir font is basically a giant "F*** you" to Windows users.

    You've got a lot of pointless whitespace and goofball animated banner crap pushing important information -- what people ACTUALLY come to the site for -- "below the fold". In general the home page layout reeks of some artists under the DELUSION they're a "designer" taking you for a ride, mixed with some copypasta developer just blindly slopping off the shelf garbage together.

    Only further exacerbated by the gibberish heading orders, missing landings, and utterly banjaxed alternative navigation. It painfully reeks of whoever coded it not knowing enough about HTML to even be building websites.

    From a performance standpoint it's a disaster. 4.24 megabytes of HTML+CSS+JS spanning 32 separate files is a monument to developer incompetence, though typical of when the mind-numbingly dumbass time wasters and middle fingers to effiiency that are frameworks get involved. Thus the 294k of CSS in 6 files when the ENTIRE SITE has no reason for more than around 40k in two files. Worse being the shit-show of HTML. Your home page has 2.94k of plaintext and four content media, what in the blazees is it burning 29k of markup on? That's not even 10k's flipping job!

    Well, I know what it's pissing away all that code on. Endless pointless DIV for nothing, endless pointless classes for nothing, static scripting in the markup, static style in the markup, and most of that being the mental-huffing-midgetry that is Bootcrap. Go find a stick to scrape that off with before you go tracking it all over the Internet's carpets.

    The ONLY thing you can learn from bootcrap is how NOT to use HTML or CSS, which is why you've got easily 50 times the CSS and JS in total such a simple site should have. But sure, keep believing the BALD FACED LIES about how "great" or "easier' or "better for collaboration" that outright BULLSHIT is.

    You've been suckered, hoodwinked, and bamboozled if you think that's a quality website.
