Our comments:
Elegant design, solid page layout, good use of typography and white space. However the menu font is much smaller than the body font. It is no secret that we don't like that very much, but here sub menus actually draw attention to themselves and thus stand apart from the content. But still, some may need eagle eyes to read the menus.

Yeah...the site does look a little like netmology.com, but I think it has a better navigation, design, and content.

World-renowned graphic artist Paul Rand once said, "Good designers borrow, great ones steal." The same holds true for Web-site designers. The key here is to take a good concept or design, then improve it and make them your own.

I wonder how many sites out there have stolen designs/styles from 2advanced.com, yet no one has come close to making theirs better. I think the "woodpecker guys" did well!

Site looks (more than) very similar to http://www.netymology.com ...have a look ;)

A very attractive site.
Excellent use of flash. Not too heavy, but it does the job. I'm on a 56k modem and the load time was quick.

I especially liked how the menu is setup. The type is a little small though.
