Hi everybody,
We recently upgraded our website with a whole new set of features and HTML5 video. Take a look, let me know what you think. Especially if you find any issues.

Also, if anyone knows how to fix IE's horrific scrolling jitters using parallax scrolling, we would LOVE to pick your brain.
UPDATE: We're also looking for MODX community support. Vote for our site at the aWWWards if you get a chance, we would LOVE to represent MODX CMS with a 'site of the day' badge.

Respectfully,

I like that single-page landing page! The first panel with a background video is impressive. Did you develop the template yourselves, or is it based on one of the boilerplate frameworks?

Hm... interesting. Sent a trial contact, and got this as the results...of course, I presume the site isn't quite finished yet.

Hah! Good find!! We overlooked pointing the contact form to our LIVE site...That was our test site it's trying to point to.
It's fixed now and going to the correct area.
(P.S. We actually had fun creating this contact us form concept)
THANKS!

Everything we do is based off our own custom design.
While we mostly develop sites using Zurb Foundation. This time our programming team wanted to use Bourbon IO. They are also quite giddy with the fact that I pulled them off of using Windows machines and got them some speedy higher-end mac minis to work off of.
This site was both fun but quite daunting in some areas. We still are up against a shaky IE experience with the parallax scrolling but hey, it's I.E. and we'll hopefully figure out a solution...Or a cheap fall-back.
Thanks for your review! I always value what you say, Susan!

You might want to check your validation...on the contact page in particular
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<!--[if IE 8]> <html class="no-js lt-ie9" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html class="no-js" lang="en"> <!--<![endif]-->
%3A%2F%2Fwoodlandsadagency.com%2Fcontact.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Oh yeah, there are quite a few bugs to sift through. My team had until TODAY to make this thing go live before Monday's deadline. I can live with validation errors as those can be cleaned up.
I'm surprised at how FEW errors there were knowing how many times we kept changing stuff and how many different people had their hands in it.

Well, overall I'd definitely say it's an impressive job.
Looks great. I love the gear and pen animation when you scroll.
There's some stuff at the end of the .htaccess file that relates to screen flicker in IE. I'm not sure it will help, but it might be worth a try.
AWESOME web site!
- Some htaccess tweaking could be made to please gtmetrix.com
but the page loads fast and the content justify the load.
