It is fairly simple in design and looks very Novell. It is unlikely
you will win awards for design, but the content is nicely organized. I
guess the question is, who is your audience? It looks to me like you
have the site tailored to them. This is probably the wrong group to
ask about this.

When you leave this place, you can only take your
name. That's why I am making this world a better
place, one promise at a time.

I can't explain why, but I found myself counting the peanuts.... one,
two, three... uh oh...

The site, as a somewhat dry sort of company information place seems
OK; though just the name could perhaps be used for some more humor,
with graphics, for instance, if allowed. (There's some very fine print
on the low, left side of the home page, in italics, that I had a hard
time reading.)
