SOMD homepage (main - front)

You changed it! My eyes are going with the text overload.

The funny thing is I like it for the CenMD site, but it's soooo busy here.

I suppose in time I'll get used to it, but the shock nearly killed me.

yea, they need to tone it down a little. The worst mistake people make with web design is making a page, especially a front page, too busy.

Although it is a bit busy... the design itself is very well done.
I think one of the right columns needs to be removed... maybe divide the middle section up like one of the right columns.

Well... I am!

I think anymore than 3 columns on a web page and you're hard pressed to make it look good.
