hi benbyf,

nice "metro" site, only two minor comments though:

- the top-level menu is a single line for the first five items and a double line for the sixth (the virgin way). imho a single line for all items would look better

- an additional line break between the questions on /about/ would increase readability of the page imho

anyway, good work!

Thanks for your comments @totoff I'll look into the first comment (its on a signle line in firefox for example, so not intentional.) Your second comment unfortunately refers to the content which I have nothing to do with :(  (I in fact changed the about page to give it more space and they changed it back, so there's no accounting for taste).

for your debugging convenience, attached is a screenshot. latest chrome on windows.

if you do

#content strong {
display:block;
margin: 6px 0;
}
 

they can't do nothing ;-) - but sure, you know that.

Thanks for that screen and the css, it would work but imagine they use strong anywhere else: there would be a margin there too, probably in a different circumstance...

VERY nice looking.

VIRGIN TWITTER TIMELINE and RICHARD BRANSON TWITTER TIMELINE

both have different hover colors for the fonts. The second one matches the background, thus the font disappears.

Greetings,

The site looks really nice!  Great colors, bright and positive presentation.  The home-page slides are fun!

Some things I am noticing:

1. The boxes in the "latest-container" seem a bit large.  Just my opinion.  Maybe reduce them a bit, or perhaps add something unique in each one (maybe a semi-transparent image)?

2. There is an extra ">" character to the left of the "slides" component on the home page.

3. I might be missing something on your structure, but I notice several DIV containers that don't actually contain their nested materials (for example, the "content" DIV).  The page still looks fine, so it's just the "underneath" structure.

I viewed it on Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.

Thanks for sharing!  Keep us updated on progress as more content is added.

@benbyf: regarding the nav issue @totoff mentioned you're giving "#topnav a" margin-right of 2% (0 2% 0 0.) This seems to screw with box model on at least Chrome. Could probably be fixed by giving it width of 100% (instead of "auto") -- though I'm not sure how that would affect all the other views.. :)

Also: some things could use a bit of tuning on smaller screens (.latest-box elements could be full width, social media icons overlap top nav at one point etc.) Nothing dramatic though.

The site itself looks great -- I'm really digging it's design!
