		<description>Happy to provide more feedback.

I&#039;ve checked out the Design Resource section, and I like it - it&#039;s well structured, the colour-coding is easier on the eye than on the home page, and the quicktime videos are great. My reservations about table-based design still stand however - although there is some more up-to-date CSS design happening on these pages as well. 

I have to say I&#039;m not a fan of the image map. It&#039;s quite hard to read. Also Google will only see this as an image, and will not be able to read the links. Have a look at the page source on this one - http://www.pirateproductions.co.uk/ - which uses hidden spans and title attributes to add text content to the page.

You might want to look at your menu system as well. The top one (Design Resource / BikeOff TV etc.) has an odd effect when the menu item is highlighted (in Firefox/Safari for Mac). Also the drop-down sub menu in Design Resource (About Bike Theft etc.) isn&#039;t working properly - sometimes the mouseover state triggers the drop down, sometimes not. There&#039;s a neat solution that is more accessible and CSS-based, which I have implemented on other sites: the Son of Suckerfish (http://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/).</description>
