Nav Check

This is a navigation I'm doing for remodeling my website. Just curious what people thought. Something about it still doesn't quite sit right with me. Suggestions appreciated. :D

its too S--L--O--W..... for starters....

took the words right out of my mouth

maybe if you would make some buttons in PS or whatever graphics program you use. What does the rest of the site look like, that is what you really need to base this on.

yeah it's a bit slow, good concept though. i'd right justify the orange buttons to the right of the text they go with, to create a stronger line visually. i'd also put a hit area on the main menu button so you don't have to be right on top of the letters for it to work.
