It looks very good. Works solidly, no errors when I tried in IE5.5 and Mozilla. A few points I noticed: In mozilla the browser's scrollbars cover the bottom menu-bar. In IE5.5 I get a security alert warning about the security certificate, when going to the secure section. I'm not mad about the purple/orange, but I'm sure that was chosen after plenty of psychological research. The English version is still Spanish in some sections. It's a shame the text in the content are doesn't resize with my browser's settings (in IE5.5) it's far to small to read at 1280*1024 (for me). If I click on "Our store" | "Small & medium..." | "voice services" All the navigation is lost, and I have to click "back" or the ee logo to get the menu back, which takes a while to load sometimes (about 30 seconds).
Aside from those things, it seems to work very well, I didn't get any javascript errors .
