Is it a homebrewed database-driven situation? Is it all done by hand, pushed server-side with that php? I'm stuck in this "dynamic, dynamic!!" mindset since that's a necessary component of the web design that I'm doing this summer for my internship. Joomla is fun.

There are some serious usability issues going on with links and link color. On the whole, I think it looks like a rougher Northland but with WWC's strong photography. Most of all, I'm not convinced that this style of design (the smooth, gradient-laden, beveled look) accurately represents the Warren Wilson brand.
