Hey all! I wanted to head away from the black background with colored font (especially for my blog page) so I put together something new. Let me know how it looks/works if you would be so kind. I haven't put together the about page yet...not quite sure what I'm doing with that, but otherwise, everything should be there.

Thanks so much for your time!

It's very attractive. For an older viewer like myself I don't automatically scroll down to see if there is more, so when I went to your site I only saw the top page. In fact no matter how I size it, that's all I get. Once I scrolled I saw the rest. Is there a way to indicate there's more further down without messing with your handsome design?

bruce - lower right hand corner.

these "one page" scrolling templates are the new "in" thing. i like them - very mobile friendly.

Good point Bruce. I can put an arrow on the bottom of the top page that will auto scroll to the next section. Good call.

It looks great. I consider myself a youngen and I don't know if I would have scrolled either if I hadn't seen it mentioned here. But otherwise, I really like the new look. The only thing is the "about" page doesn't seem to have any content. I'm assuming that's because you're still working on the site, but thought I should mention it. Great job!

Don't like: The navbar is at the bottom. I click on about (which is empty, BTW). The navbar is now at the top.

I explained the about page in the first post. Yes, it is blank.

If you scroll the first page, you will see that the navbar will move up and dock on the top. I've added the arrow. Does that make it more obvious?

Oh my bad, I missed to mention of the about page. I like the arrow. It seems more obvious to me, but I'd probably get some more opinions just in case.

Good looking theme, Jason!

And I love (most of*) your content.

FWIW, in the "The REAL Cool Guy" paragraph under the client logos, you're missing an "s" in "obviously project like audiobooks."

*The "un-announcer" in Chuck's testimonial is a bit too close for comfort. Smile

Thanks for the catch Doug and kind words. You are absolutely right. I was on the edge of what to do with that because it was an actual quote (I didn't write it and then ask if I could put his name on it). I definitely respect the similarity and will tweak it. I have no desire to jump into the "un" space of marketing Smile I'll stick with the REAL Cool piece Laugh Un-announcer is now non-announcer.
