    Nice site. To start with, it loaded a bit slow for me, which is always the most important part of a site. Also, I was a bit thrown off by there not being any top / side / bottom navigation anywhere on the site. After a bit, I finally saw it on the bottom right! People are used to the top/left side and even sometimes bottom for navigation, so you might lose visitors for this.

    HUGE ISSUE-
    you forgot to change your meta information. It currently looks like this:
      <meta name="keywords" content="joomla, Joomla" />
  <meta name="description" content="Joomla! - the dynamic portal engine and content management system" />
  <meta name="generator" content="Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management" />
    Code (markup):
    That should be changed to your info.

    Also, just noticed you don't have a title for your site... it's just "HOME"... you should definitely change that:
    <title>Home</title>
    Code (markup):
    Other than that, it's pretty cool. Definitely liked the graphics on that opening video :cool:

    Nice site :D
    I wouldnt reccomend having the link "Leanr how we built this site in 50 Mins" Because it will make your users tink you didnt put hard work into it and might put them off. But I an appreciate the work gone into the site so know you must be experienced to make that in 50 mins :D I love eerything about this site the template is the best! I loved it so much I bookmarkde it :)
    Nice Site Good Luck

    Thanks so mucj HydroJohn. Ive included the video for just that reason. It is a template (customized) and its using joomla so the idea of the video is to show others how easy it is and how they can do the same.

    Thanks for book marking it!

    Legends in here!

    Can never have enough tutorial sites. Love em all. Awesome design, very techy. For the type in images do it in illustrator so they are not so blurry.
