Hi Steve!
Thank you for introducing me to such a fascinating topic. As a technology enthusiast, also past engineering efforts ensure my captivation.
The theme you are using looks great and is well balanced. Could you also place a link to home around the image tag, so that both logos link there (not a big thing, but prevents users like me, who go for logos more than a web site title, from having to move across the whole screen, just to get were they thought they were - as the home link below is not obvious, and seems as if its just a heading).
Another idea would be, to place your login fields (or a login link, though I prefer not to link, just adding unneccessary step) under the Traction Time writing logo (the currently linked one). Already now is the view of the user attrackted to the right, via the red background boxes, and the lightness of the left sidebar.
This would also free up space in your left sidebar, allowing the main menu to slide up, and become more accessible (no need to use the scroll bar, to access main menu points).
Further I find your welcome message a little opressive (from its impression, not content). When you have first time visitors, don't you want to captivate them with the amazing constructions? My advice would be, shorten it, and place it a little less obtrusive. And have a nice big image, or a nice selction (as found stuck at the bottom) of images be the first thing to greet your site viewers.
Overall you have done an excellent job!
Well done! Nice module selection, and well put together.
May I point you to our
Credits Module?! I believe this would make a nice addition to your site. If you don't want it to appear in the mainmenu, just disable, and place a link in the footer of your theme files.
Hope you find my reply helpfull, and give our module a try.
Sincerely
Jason M Roehrig
