Comments from developer: I created this site design for a client, and she really loves it. It contains some features I've never seen in a site before. 1. The text box looks like a scrap of paper. 2. The drop-down menu that appears when you click "Guide To Visits" is also a scrap of paper. I would appreciate any comments you have on http://www.pawsforparrish.org/

Comments from Jennifer Kyrnin: This is a cute site. The paper theme is pulled through the site, which is nice. It's not immediately obvious that this is a site about therapy dogs. For instance, there are no photos of dogs on the site that I could find (except for the clipart on the first page).

There are a number of things I find somewhat annoying in the functionality of this site. Every link I clicked wanted me to open a PDF, and yet there was no indication that that would be the case. In fact, most of the links look like they're going to open another page and then I'm prompted to load a PDF. The drop-down menu doesn't appear when I hover, but rather when I click. And since my browser window wasn't open very low, I then had to scroll to see what this new menu said. And because that bar was on the bottom, I didn't realize it was navigation at first. I was thinking there was unreadable text in the fancy sidebar, so I kept clicking over there to find it.
