Great site! I like the quaint character meshed with web 2.0 style it has. It definitely has the Metalab genes though Similar style to most of their other sites in a lot of ways. But nice nonetheless.
One thing I found lacking was rollovers. Navigation, buttons and some other things didn’t have any :hover states. But this is probably a work in progress
My only critisism is that some of the things I would expect to be links, aren’t. ie the three large images on the homepage, and the “sign up to get started!” text underneath them.
The bottom part of the homepage is what doesn’t seal the deal for me… what I’m seeing is Header, Navigation, Featured, Recent Activity. I mean visually, it’s nice and all, but I would have liked to see a bit more emphasis on the content on the homepage underneath the featured stuff in the center. Great site though, just hoped for some solid legs with those big muscles for the header area
It’s made by MetaLabs, so of course it’s going to be nice. But it’s not 100% sweet.
The goods:
- The top header treatment is great
- The pixel treatment details all around (buttons, comment bubbles, image borders, wrap-around banners, etc.)
The left to be desired:
- Nav rollovers (as Danny and Jack pointed out)
- Home > above the fold unlinked media (as John-Lee pointed out – those home page images need to be linked to immerse the user based on the allocated real-estate of them – otherwise, you can’t click on anything until 700px (or so) down the page)
- What the footer an afterthought?

The navigation does have a hover state, it’s just so subtle. I agree it should be a little more obvious.
The buttons could do with a rollover too. And they could make a bigger deal of the footer.
I agree that it looks lovely.

I love the site but do agree with John-Lee, I expected all of those things to guide me through the site in some way….

A good look! So nice this site. Graphics, fonts, colours…all is good!

Otherwise good.
Похоже на работу MetaLab
Really pleasant site to be on. I might actually join. Love food sites.
So nice comments block and functions interface
Wow, amazing design and layout.
I do agree that the text in the navigation is too dark to see on some monitors (Including my 15″ CRT)
Hard to find any faults with this website. The layout, typography and colour scheme are amazing and really compliment themselves beautifully.
Haven’t seen any food websites that could compete with this design.
Has anyone else?
View the dimensions and layout should follow the menu is more simple.
