Hope you all now understand what a sonic screwdriver is too! :P

Very cool design. form needs work. Also I like the scrolling page. but there is no way to navigate once the page has scrolled. consider a fixed nav or a secondary nav at the top of every section.

Much better than the comps. I like the new logo you did and the added marquee elements and stuff. Brandon has a point with the navigation not being accessible from everywhere on the site. The other thing I don't get and this may be me just not watching that TV show but the site looks old and antique but your products are modern and shiny. I get a weird clash of style when I go into this section.

P.S. Nice responsiveness!!!! Some things you need to fix. All the products need to show when it gets reduced in size. They do when its loaded at that size but now when you reduce the browser. I guess this is a non-issue but would be nice if it worked on resize. The drawings dont make much sense when they are not visible durring this stage. Everything needs to flow down and currently it doesn't. Also at mobile size screen size is a precious resource so and you are wasting a lot of it with the huge left & right margins. I would think about reducing those in size a bit.

Yes I need to work on the form. I am also trying to either get the top static or add a floating menu.

Kyle, Im having a lot of issues with the responsive for mobile. Im kind of stuck.

About the site look haha. You really have to know the show I guess to get it I guess. The sonic screwdrivers are actually not modern, they are very very old and of alien (gallifreyan) origin. Also, I went with vintage as we are coming up on Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. So its a homage to the show really.

Very nice Bri, I like your use of imagery, it really coincides well with your design. The only part I don't care for is the image in the logo. It appears pixelated and I think that detracts from your wonderfully designed logo.

I really like your website! The color choice, logo, images, fonts all goes well with the overall design of the site. I like your idea of the drop down menu for the responsive too.

I agree with Brandon, other than using the "back to top" button, there is no way I can navigate to other places. Maybe you can try to have some kind of "stick-to-top" navigation? I honestly don't mind scroll to the top to get to the navigations for your site though, it's very cool to me!

Great job as always. I like the logo and design of the site. I like the layout and the feel of the site. I think some of things take a little long to load up, but that is just nitpicking. Good job.

Vintage, hipster sonic screwdrivers, lol. I am amused.

Great use of color (or colour, given the subject matter), design and texture throughout. It navigates smoothly and I can easily find what I need very quickly. I like the smooth scrolling navigation through the site. Nice use of responsive design and layout. I only really see breakages when you get down to phone size. I always like to see my students experimenting. Keep pushing the envelope.

Just a couple of small design nitpicks really. I don't like the sans serif font in the navigation. I think it rather jarringly clashes with the nice serif fonts you use elsewhere. Also, some of the later slides in you slideshow at the top seem a little plain compared with the nicely laid out first slide.

Nice job!
