Maybe I'm just deprived of Aqua looking icons on my Windows platform, but I love the clean, glowing interface of this site. Only one small validation issue on the home page.

Update: And now it validates!

Accessibility and proper use of alternative text are important web standards, too. The image containing a full bulleted list of product features has alt text "". While this is likely a careless mistake, it should be noted in the site description. This is nitpicking, I suppose, but using markup correctly is just as important as it validating.

Steve, you're absolutely right. It was a mistake on my part... didn't write in the alt tag in the design phase because I wasn't sure what it was going to say at first, and then forgot to come back and get it.

This issue has been fixed. Thanks for the catch!

"Pages must maintain — in spirit — a separation between data and presentation, such as that enabled by the coupled usage of XHTML and CSS."

The use of <br /> tags goes against this judging criteria. Perhaps I am just nitpicking, but the use of <br /> tags is clearly presentational.

This site gets CHEWED up in IE for the Mac.

IE for the Mac is hardly a standards-compliant browser.

Well, Microsoft is no longer developing IE For Mac, makes sense too, no reason to go against WebCore (which is hardcore). Now if they would just stop developing IE for Windows...... one can dream, no?
