Hey Victor lighten up.
That site is hilarious.
You want him to have a nice slickly designed site to control Xmas lights and inflatable and deflatable Xmas characters?
I must be out of the loop and while I wasn't looking, Xmas lights that cover your whole house and lawn along with blowup Santa, Elmo, Frosty and Homer have become the pinnacle of good taste!!!
C'mon Vic, the site is perfectly in keeping with the content and in that regard a brilliant piece of design!
To his credit you can turn off the Santa-Homer cursor, (or even enlarge it to "Hulk-in' " size if you choose). You can turn the music off too.
Hi-Def view has a nice comic touch to it (in the mouse-over and description).
There is some diligence to the site as well. He has validated his CSS and HTML 4. Good man!
Even "serious" sites such as big news sites blast you with sounds and flashing lights and massive intrusive ads.
I am usually a stickler for design, but I can see the comic value in this and the design-to-your-content principle in effect here. Alek gets the thumbs up from me.
Happy Xmas
