    This is a fantastic looking design. I love how organic and original it feels. I do think that the JQuery moves a bit fast though. I also think that the navigation doesn't stand out as much as it could. I love the text and innovative use of stitching and fabic for the page elements. I also wish that the header was a little tighter so that I could see the image gallery at the bottom of the page. I have a pretty high reslolution and I can't see it. Also, on the homepage, the word Now is cut off on the "Donate Now" button. Overall, this is a great design with a lot of interest. I like the footer - though it has a lot in it, it is nice and tidy. I love the imagery.

      Awesome - thank you Jackie. Any thoughts on how you would make the navigation stand out more?

      When you say cut off, you mean off your screen, right? What size screen are you viewing on? (I'd like to know both your screen size in inches, and your screen resolution in pixels). Obviously since there are so many sizes visitors are coming from, there is only so much control you will have. But I'd be interested to know what yours is.

      Thanks again!

      You are welcome! My resolution is set to 1280x1024 and I have 2 - 19" monitors. Sorry, what I meant by cut off is that the actual word within the green Donate Now button (in the header nav) is getting cut off. It's still within the green button but the word itself is oddly cut off at the bottom. Seems like a css/html thing. Thanks!

      Oh, I see. That is funny. Do you have your browser default text set to something larger than 16pt? If so, that might be the culprit, although I don't think it should be. If not, then I'm stumped.

      Which OS/browser are you using?

      Thanks, Joel
