Thanks for sharing your job openings, Andrew.  I hope you don't mind, but I wanted to make a little design suggestion for your cartanova.ca Web site.  You have this really nice background graphic that seems to fit right in and support your brand.  However, when you scroll down the screen, the nice horizon disappears, and the user only sees the olive-drab green color of the "dirt" part of your design.  I think if you applied a CSS position:fixed to your background so that the horizon is always in view, your site would look a lot nicer.  

Just my two cents: I had seen your site before and thought this to myself ...

Hi Justin,

 

Thanks - glad to share any good info with ATAAW, really.

 

I had never really considered using a :fixed declaration on the background graphic - interesting idea.  While we developer Weever; updating the site graphics are probably second-priority; although I do have it in my to-do list to (finally) establish a baseline typographical rhythm on the site; which doesn't really deploy with the 960 Grid System.

 

We've had some fun on the 'code-labs' page using a template call to load specific CSS files and change the backgrounds on the page, on-the-fly; kind of fun stuff; you'll find a live example and a post about it there.

 

Thanks!  I always appreciate good, critical feedback :)
