I've had a couple of people (namely my sister and girlfriend) gripe about the new site design. Mostly, they don't like the stripes. I like them, but I'm definitely not in love.
So are you all staying silent because you like the design or because you don't want to upset me? You may also not care, and if that's the case that's fine, but if you have any input for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I like it...it flows nicely with color scheme as well as the header image. it gives me that summer button up shirt feel that I am getting with the header grassy image. The color of the line is a little annoying maybe if you could get a more muted color that maybe matches the tshirt in the photo.

I liked the old design quite a bit though it did feel a little cluttered. I like the new too, though count me in as one of the opposers of the striped background. Also, I think the main centered column could use another 10 pixels on each side for padding. I feel like the text is too close to the edge and ultimately background.
I like the colour scheme though.
Boy am I picky.

your background should be my face.

My only problem is that the hyperlinks are had to see in Safari. Besides that, it's quite calming.

don't change the color line in the banner, i think it looks stellar......and i concur that the stripes work well with the rest of the page.

The thing that bothers me the most is the fact the Capn Design bar goes through your eye. This is seriously really bothersome, and I don't know why.
It keeps me up at night putting in Visine. Well, once, but that is too many.
And the colours in the top pic don't mesh so well with the tealy bluey.
And you smell.
Like roses.

I agree with Naz that there should be a bit more space from the edge, and maybe a border around the white box - something about the white fading into the stripes area bothers me a bit, though I do like the stripes.

It's fine if you're metrosexual. Are you? If not, then it's just plain fruity.

I like the new look. I like the stripes and the color. My favorite new feature is the rotating tagline. Who can make disparaging remarks about sweet love, $4 lunches, and cock rock? Certainly not I.

I'm new to visiting the site so I don't have anything for comparison, but I'm not a fan of the stripes. Other than that minor gripe, I love your layout and design. That being said, take all comments with a grain of NaCl as I'm a recovering lawyer, not a designer.

I'm not even sure I saw the old one ;)

I like the stripes a lot, and the color scheme is refreshing -- a nice change.
If I could suggest one thing that might keeps it fresh, would be to rotate out the photo on the top (along with the tagline?)... especially since you've got so much great photography. Makes me want to redesign...

Like it, like it, like it!
Hey, weren't you on Wheel O' Fortune once?

Hey Matt,
It's GEORGEOUS! I love it.
It's pepperminty; very summery.
Like a crisp cotton shirt.
Just pass the mint juleps ... or the mojitos. I'd like extra mint in my mojito, por favor.
Cheers!

sorry to chime in so late, but i like it. the colors especially. what's the main font you're using up top there? the non-bitmappy one, that is.
