I assumed the site was broken in safari but since the widths are different in the thumbnail as-well I guess it is supposed to look like that. Looks a bit awkward but I like it.

Having a link to download Firefox on a company website for someone else isn't very "professional" IMO.

and what's with all that designer info when you click on the link, "site by pixel studio." ??!!

They don't have their own website so they gotta advertise like that is their own site?!

Poor choice.

This isn't as bad of a site as the score reflects. I enjoyed the tan a lot and I thought the site communicated well. Would have used more serif fonts.

I really dislike the strange widths. Being different is often good and all, but this just doesn't work for me. I fail to see why this keeps getting such good recognition... That reservation form is hideous! (I usually love most of the sites featured on Stylegala. This one just isn't for me I guess.)

First, I will go with my positive thoughts about the site--I like the color scheme. It's very clean and professional. The navigation is well done.

Now to the negatives. I don't like the variable widths in the design either. It throws everything off and doesn't give the eye a sense of continuity. I also thought it was a bit odd to have so much information on the design company--but of course there may be a reason for it?

About the different widths:

I thought it was a nice addition, but there is something that could have been done to add more flow that would have tied it all together: If you notice the second and middle width that includes the header and navigation doesn't have a bottom. It seemingly has the same bottom as the div on top of it, which is the picture. It would have been a good idea, in my opinion, to have a bottom the same width and with rounded corners come out below the big header image. That way, it would have tied in nicer.

Otherwise, I don't think it's as bad as what everyone is saying.

I think if the different widths weren't so different maybe 5-10px it wouldn't be so awkward. Its not an ugly site but to me it looks like the site is broken or has messed up a box model hack.

fine, subtle, classy, don't see what's wrong with it

The site is OK, though I also feel it has an unfinished broken look, even though it was intended that way. As to the mention of Firefox and the design company, what is wrong with that? There's just a page about the contacts of the design company, like the Credits page, which is perfectly OK. Concerning Firefox, it's great they're promoting it! So what if it's a company site? Can't a company endorse a particular browser? Or, more accurately, can't a company say "Look, this modern site views well in this modern browser". Again, good on them for promoting Firefox. I put "Get Firefox" link on all of my designed sites. It doesn't stand out enough to look unprofessional, yet it does advertise this great browser to viewers.

It is a very decent attempt to CSS-based design from a Turkish designer in Turkey where everything is still in tables and very small group of designers talk about web standards.

Also, it is very different than most CSS based sites that I've seen. When I saw this site very first time, I thought "oh no, a cruel joke of the box model problem" but I've noticed that the designer did this intentionally. I think it looks really good. It takes your eyes directly to the banner-like picture at the top the page. I bet most sites with same width boxes, your eyes wouldn’t go there first. Once you look at the picture, you want to stay there. (at least I want to :)

Use of colors, photos, navigation elements are really nice. I hope we will see more of very talented Turkish designers design with CSS.

The site didn't impress me.

First if all, I'd agree about the different-width issue — at least the designer needed to introduce some details that would somehow support this division.

And none of the flash-banners that are supposed to be splash-images on the sites work in MacOS X — neither in Safari, nor in FireFox. It does however work in Opera.

In safari and firefox for mac you have a problem, on the top side, in the language box where is writting turce.I like the ideea of a big image header.It's looking good.
