While I don't think the design will win any huge creativity rewards, I do really like this site.

It's clean simple, and presented very well. The structure of the navigation is done intuitively to the point where I had no problem finding what I was looking for.

Some minor gripes are that the content areas could use a little more white-space and padding in my opinion as the text is awfully close to the borders.

Also I did not see any hover states for content links, which again, seems to be some new trend I simply didn't get the memo about.

Store brand, not gourmet, vanilla... but in so being, it's simple, clean and easy to use.

I agree, nice simple design, easy to navigate site. I noticed the issues with the hover state too.

Something I noticed on many of the sites I've viewed on edustyle lately which surprised me; turning off images reveals no alt text. Same issue on this site.

Clean and Simple, Straight to the point.

@Deborah True about the images off. Looks like most of the sites are using background image replacement so no alt text is possible.
