Ivan, Welcome to the forums -- please don't be a stranger in answering other visitors' questions or in posting your own! As for the Web link, I'll cut to the chase: The contrast is way too low (for either Web or print) between the small grey text and the dark grey background. It is very difficult to read more than a few lines. And if the monitor is dim, or if there are a lot of reflections, or if the ambient light is very bright, this problem is compounded. The effort to design a "cool" design is wasted if what is being conveyed can't be easily read. And that breaks Rule No. 1 of typography: to communicate. Otherwise than that, the design is good. Unfortunately, that site is now down, so I can't comment further. Neil
