What?

The only thing negative I had to say about the site was in regards to it using the Wordpress engine. I never said anything bad about the design and layout of the whole thing, just that it would be, as you said too, easy to reproduce. Despite that, I even mentioned way up there that it would not only depend on your ability with photoshop and illustrator, but your artistic ability as well to create something similar without just copying it.

The fact of the matter is that it's a simple design, made simpler by the fact that they based it off of somebody elses. Simple doesn't mean bad, or that it's amateur. I happen to appreciate simplicity, and I would rather use a web site that is clean, to the point and functional than one that's chock full of fancy buttons, useless tech and flashy glitz.

I think the designer who did that is good, but I think your point, "it is to think of such design" is a little off base. They didn't think of it. They added a large vector image to somebody else's template, and fancied it up here and there, and then used the exact same layout for their companies web site too.

It looks good, but it starts to lose some originality at that point. *shrug* Do you work for them or something?

Please refrain from calling me names until you've read what I said a little more.
