    i love these colors, and that logo looks great! overall layout is well done, clean, not confusing at all.

    for the nerd guy on index, im not to big on the fade. i imagine you had to though because the image you used probably cuts off there. if you have easy access to a nerdy guy that can be clipped without fading the edges that would be something i would change but otherwise this isn't a big issue.

    the paint brush graphic on the about page made up for it :) i think it has great flow on that page.

    the footer feels crowded on the left side. perhaps adjust the line height so it breaths more?

    the blog section is looking good too. nice, clean, easy to read.

      Thanks for the feedback Jennifer! I struggled with that image on the home page. I originally had him bottom justified so he stuck to the footer but when I ended up making the footer sticky to the bottom of the browser then in some cases when a person had their window in a more vertical format poor nerd guy was at the bottom by himself. I need to figure out a clever way to cut him off where the image ends.

      Thanks for the feedback on the blog. I just posted a new article I wrote on drop-down menus. Let me know if you like it.
