I was messing around with squarespace the other day and came up with a template for the site that I think looks a lot better than what we have. Thoughts?

Re: Website update
I like the look and I like what you did with the photos.
Something about the colors for the logo makes it hard to read. I think the background is a little too dark.
I definitely like that things don't move like crazy on mouse over. Mouse overs are a no-no (IMHO) with all the touch devices these days.

Re: Website update
Try the colors now.
In regards to the hover, I can fix that but it would take a bit of effort. I'll note it down for a finished product

I like it a lot more than what we have at sktechworks.ca.
Re: Website update
Nice work! I like it!
I think Odemia is just talking about the moving pictures on mouse-over that happens on the current sktechworks.ca site, not the slight color change (highlighting) on mouse-over that you have. I also don't like the moving mouse-overs on the existing page but the highlighting on your page is good. I also like that you've made the main page a blog style page since I imagine it will be used for news and other announcements, not just a landing page to other links.

Re: Website update
yeah, logo is easier to read now.
And yeah, comment about mouse overs was directed at the current page. The fact that the buttons don't change color on a touch device is inconsequential.

Re: Website update
I don't think anybody would complain if you just set sktechworks.ca up to redirect to the squarespace site.

Re: Website update
Looks good Paul! I say "go with it" too.
Re: Website update
so, squarespace costs $15/month after the two week trial, think we could just rip-off the design (css and html) and host it for free? or are we really in love with the CMS backend that it makes it worth it?
