Be Bold - a book to support a non-profit publication

Hey people, we've just launched a small community site to support a new publication by Echoing Green - a NYC based non-profit involved in social entrepreneurialism.

Please check it out and let me know what you think!


Website URL:
http://www.bebold.org

Joomla! version:
1.0.x

Template:
Bespoke

Additional Extensions (Components, Modules, Plug ins):
- Community Builder,
- JCE
- UDDEim
- JoomlaBoard


Custom Development:
- (community function integration & styling)
- customised 'email this page' modules - removed from in-content links
- custom quiz extension..


Other Features:
Its a pretty basic site in combining some cool community functionality to simple content.  The site isn't expected to grow in published text as it was created to introduce and develop a readership around a new book called Be Bold.  However, we really think Community Builder's been a great implementation to develop that readership into an online community.


Three (at least) specific areas of my site that I'd like feedback on (design, code, graphics, etc.):
- what do you think of the color scheme?
- How do you like the specialised copy regarding 'bold faces' as opposed to 'member's profiles'?
- Is there anything functionally you think is missing from the site?

Additional Comments:
Thanks for your feedback guys and gals, its much appreciated!

NICE!

You have a vey nice site...Simple yes, but very appealing!  The fonts, graphics, etc all look great!  The color scheme is nice as well.

I did have some issues with Firefox....content is shifting out of its area.... (look at attached images)
on pages:  Reviews, Order the book.

Also a caption on the are you bold page is outside the margain..

I checked the issues on another pc and had the same results....

I hope these help...in all a great site!  only thing I would change is I would center the site...but that is only because of my personl likes..... :)

Great job!
