    The benek site is completely usable. Even if the user never notices the horizontal scroll bar, it still looks like 1 page design. :)

    Thanks for the tips Niki! I’ll be working on a small revamp soon and I’m going to be looking through some different, neater fonts. I appreciate you looking through it for me.

    You know, would squirrels even have the attention spans to attempt web design? Somehow I think they’d go a little nuts.

    Oooh that was bad. >.<
