Hey Dylan, Great job on the site - it looks really good! I particularly like the way you've added click to return home on your logo, a really nice touch. Only criticism I would say is not to do with the standards or anything, but I'd give a rough idea of how long it takes you to build each

1. Text of validation errors sometimes overlaps 'error' icon2. When email address and confirm email address fields have invalid entries, error should be 'enter valid email format', not 'values must match'.3. If edentiti is targeting Australian market, I would validate state and postcode as well.
