Nice work indeed, only issue is the portfolio section took ages to load...

Yeah, we're working on that... it's hard to strike the balance between quick loading and good quality images ;/

Nice, the only little thing for me is I am expecting something big to happen when I click the portfolio nav item as with the others and its a to subtle that only the links appear. This is the first link I went to and when nothing happened in the main content area it didn't quite gel.
- Ditto. Also the main 2 banners act like they're not workingrafalski

Haha, never seen that site. We (switch) have been around for 8 years, so any similarities with our namesake - even though it's just the word switch in a popular font - modified, is total coincidence.
Well done though Sherlock.

Haha, you're backing up your point with dictionary definitions? In the end, it doesn't matter if something has a concept behind it if it looks shit though does it?
- moamoa0
onewhoslaps: you´re talking SHIT
- ********0
so, you have just pointed out that, to your mind at least, both logos are using completely different concepts... does that not make your 90% rip comment sound a little retarded now?
- YAYPaul0
Great stuff.
Just a quick note that at 1024x768 with both del.icio.us and web dev tool bars on i can't see your portfolio link.

We're gonna do another version for that resolution and widescreen laptops this week, then do a good old redirect after detecting the user platform. We haven't officially launched the site yet to clients and the like, I just thought we'd get some feedback from our wonderful peers (especially onewhoslaps) so we can iron out any bugs and crap stuff first. Cheers everyone, very encouraging comments. We've been worried about the navigation usability most of all, but no-one seems to have had much of an issue with it.
