Oh, I’ll be cruel now.

The logo reminds me about the famous "recycle" logo: http://images.google.com/images?q=recycle;

Menu is done inaccurately. Why does the active menu item have a little margin from the top?

Also, I suggest naming things the usual way. Navigation labels should be easy to understand (ok, I can try to understand what "our edge" means, but what the hell is "e-seo-t"?).

"if users don't understand a certain design element, they don't spend time learning it" (http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20000109.html)

Next, the banner (???) in the center of the page. It looks like the text there is written in 5 different fonts?! (Am I right?). Usually the page looks messy when you use more than 3 fonts. Also the bright background is diminishing readability. And the repeated logo reminds me that I should recycle, go green and stop global warming (Why the hell are you repeating your logo?? Do you think that the visitor would manage to forget where he/she is? )

And the Santa’s hat… It looks so lonely in this page. There is nothing more that would remind of Christmas or winter at all.

And there is one more important thing: I want you to feel guilty and responsible for this. Every time I see a link on the internet that is titled “more” or “read more”, I kill a baby kitten.

Even the guys from WCAG included a recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-TECHS/#t...aningful-links) in its guide to save more kitten lives.

"Clearly identify the target of each link. Link text should be meaningful enough to make sense when read out of context - either on its own or as part of a sequence of other links. Link text should also be terse. [Priority 2]"

That’s all for now. I think, I’ve already written what I wanted to. On the other hand, all the other things in your site are just perfect.

And if you checked this forum rules you'd find out how to format a post subject asking for a website review.
