Nice, interesting blog, but what a poorly designed website!

The guy/girl/man/woman writing the blog is clearly not the one in charge of your website.

Despite the glaring usability issues, the website isn’t hopless. Those glaring usability issues could be fixed in less than an hour, thus restoring Little Spring Design to a greater height of respectability.
