My girlfriend and I just finished putting up a Textpattern driven site for her graphic design studio. The site is designed by her coded by me. Until we have a chance to make a more barebones version for IE, it is Mozilla/Firefox/Safari only.
Any feedback or questions welcome. Jeff.

My she gets about a bit doesn’t she? I like the overall concept though I should mention it took me a few clicks on the top buttons to realise that there may be 2 or 3 options within it like front AND back covers. You definitely have problems with IE don’t you and I should add that it doesn’t work for Opera 8.5.1 either, at least there is no hover link on the front-page so I couldn’t get to the main site. I was viewing in Win / FF 1.0.7 with no problems that I noticed.

Re: courtenaywebber.com
The issue of where to place the options for alternate images of the same project has been an ongoing concern for us. People have definitely expressed confusion regarding this. Originally we wanted the navigation to be contained within one area (and not infringe on the image space), but we are now considering moving it above (or to the left side of) the image. It is important that people notice that they can see alterate images of the same project.
Haven’t tried Opera yet. I think IE will be fixable, although it wont be able to read the CSS 2 attribute selectors used to show what project you are currently viewing—at least untill IE7 is released.

If you don’t mind the inevitable clutter, thumbnails would indicate a way to page through the alternate images.
Nice site, nice content.

Re: courtenaywebber.com
nice work in the portfolio, but you should take another look on the sites typography imo.
too many different fonts and i dont see the need to use this ultra small pixelfont for the navigation. and the copy could use some more line-height.

Re: courtenaywebber.com
sthmtc, thanks for the suggestions. I am usually pretty aware of designs that use too many typefaces. On the site though there are only three: One for headers, one for navigation, and one for body copy. I guess we could always replace the pixel font (which I really don’t find too small) with area or Cabernet (the header font). It’s something we had talked about, but didn’t really think was necessary.

Re: courtenaywebber.com
i like the simplicity of the site. it’s very clean. very nice… the ultra-small pixel font doesn’t scale at all. i can read it fine… about i’m 20-20 with pretty good eyes… I could see (no pun intended) a possible issue with folks not being able to read the navigation.
overall… nice work… nice look…
i would just look at the navigation.
