    Header picture & Action buttons

    Hey Noel,

    It's a big improvement over the last one. I think the more brighter scheme looks better and gives you more flexibility.

    What I noticed:

    1. As Nate said, the header background is kind of odd. The menu is also made up of a gradient over the same color gradient. Looks off. Nate's suggestion here might help. No big changes, just a retouch.
    2. The header pic: It took me 4-8 seconds to understand it. Find something more expressive. Maybe insert the featured design there?
    3. The testimonial looks good, don't really know if it should point to a particular theme, maybe the testimonial should be in a bubble and pointing to twitter feed or the author of the testimonial.
    4. I don't particularly love the footer. It's big and mixes quick links with faq's and twitter. Not really related. Eg. The quick links has obsolete items like follow us on twitter ... well you have a birdie on the right ... put a link there.
    5. The final most bothering thing is that you don't have any action buttons. Make people buy your stuff! Create action buttons for buying and joining your community. There is no login, no clear separation of menus. You have 2 menus there: the site navigation menu and the community menu. Separate these 2 and place them accordingly on the site.

    In all I like it but a few changes would make me love it :)

    Cheers,

    Zeno.
