Thank you for explaining the above. There will be UX mistakes when
you are creating a web site in 24 hours. As I mentioned off-list the
web site reminded me of a web site which I saw years ago. I am not
inferring that your team copied the web site. I did not understand
the concept when I first looked at your web site as I didn't have any
background information. The scrollbar is an issue. The graphics are
good. The HTML code looked good. I like the trick which you used. :-)
