Nice intro! Overall the site is really...white & black. I would love to see more color in there. The box shadows in the "marquee/jQuery intro" are a bit harsh, and the distance below each "section" is to heigh imo. I think it could be brought to life with more images of people doing crazy things. I expect to see myself doing these things on the website but I don't get that. Also if there is no search functionality then why put it on the site. Keeping the menu at the top is smart. I would try to make a semi opaque background behind the "header" so you can see the stuff scrolling behind it.

I don't mind the black and white but I think that the orange is standing out against he blue in the logo and it makes the top banner with the logo seem like its separate. Like a different site. Maybe making the oranges blues or vise versa?

Nicely done. I also like the black and white with only pops of color, keeps things nice and clean looking.

Amazing job! Really enjoy your website. I love the stay of the top navigation, it goes well with your site since you have a scrolling site. The responsive nav bar is also really nice! :)

Another scrolling site! You guys are making me look bad. I really like it but I'm having viewing problems on my PC.

Great job. The website looks great. I like the simplicity of it. I think I would want to add in a stop button for the top part as it gets a little bit tiring seeing the slideshow continue to show the same things that fast. That is just a minor thing. Good job.

Nice! This looks like a "real" site. I expect to be buying dreams from it right now.

That CSS animation looks good in every browser that supports it. Really eye catching. The rest of the site is antiseptically clean and very easy to maneuver through. I like a lot of the little programmatical touches as well. From the opening animation to the drag and drop shopping cart it adds a feeling of completeness to the whole thing.

And you even busted out a favicon. Nice.

I've only got two gripes. One, it needs pics. Badly. A picture is worth a thousand words, but all you have is drawings. You need to get pics of people living the dream in there. Otherwise it's all show and no tell. And that's no fun. Two, I don't rally like the large gap between "pages" either. It seems a little awkward when scrolling.

Excellent work, Brandon. Very professional.

I get a pretty nice feeling on this website, feels like a living magazine or newspaper ad : )

Maybe a little bit more splash of color here and there, but otherwise with the more refining into the next project this is a pretty good looking website! : )

fancy
I like the responsive element and the stark black and white imagery. I enjoy the stable header and navigation it helps solidify a changing site.
Nice work.
