This is the site’s first major overhaul in nearly 10 years. Please tell me what you think - ideally with a note of the browser you are using [Internet Explorer (with version), Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, handheld or other]

Wot?!! I can take pride in my own site, can’t I? Especially when the old site was approaching 10 years old... // all-new visual identity // colour switcher // @font-face // CSS3 // grid layout system fluid in standards browsers but fixed width in Internet Explorer 6 & 7 (to handle those browsers’ quirky percentages) + tweaked to handle IE6’s graceless response to absolute positioning (I couldn’t be bothered to work out how to stop the image jumping when you hover - but as an IE6 user I expect you’re used to things like that!) + reasonably pleasant to use on hand-helds ...all done via CSS // talespinner.co.uk
