Review:
Tight as a nut - that's Rob Weychert's freshly-launced personal site. Wonderful detailing, sympathetic column layout, careful font styling and sensitive colour palette make this design stand out a mile.
Apparently Rob, whom you may be familiar with thanks to his epic , has been honing this design since the Jurassic period. Thank heavens his multiple reworkings have proved fruitful and inspirational.
Aside from the exemplorary markup and seperation of style and content (another example we can all learn from), the subtle graphics are a real draw, and the pages look like those of a beautifully-crafted newsletter. The gulf between print and web design decreases daily, it seems.

So much detail, I particularly like the small caps at the start of entries and of course the monkey. This gets a 10 for my money, superb!
Yes! Great typographic skills and nicely layed out web site. The only thing that itches me a bit is the use of cargo/army typeface in the menu in contrast to the otherwise contemporary newspaper styled types. Nonetheless - great site with good content. And you know what they say - God is in the details.
The site in general is lovely, my only problem is with the navigation. The Rob Weychert font (letters R W Y)are lost behind the links when you roll over/active link them.
Thanks for the kudos, guys! I’m working on a fix for the navigation rollovers covering the header descenders, but the nav
ul’stext-align: center;makes it tricky, particularly since I want the solution to be flexible enough to allow me to add to or subtract from the navigation items with minimal fuss. So if anyone knows of an uncomplicated solution that I’m missing, please do let me know.Completley off the cuff this one Rob, and without having looked at how you have styled the nav, but would some relative positioning of the UL and header and z-index not do the trick?
Why yes, John, yes it would! Actually, beat you to it, and that very solution was waiting in my inbox when I got up this morning. Thanks, Stan and John!
This website is very beautifull. I think the monkey is hilarious. Maybe the monkey can run for president?
