The new White House website

The White House has a fresh website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/

What do you think about it?

It's pseudo–XHTML Trans. 'nuff said.

That's the first thing I noticed too but I was referring to the design, the content, etc. I wouldn't hold my breath until my government's website used jQuery for example.

Lovin' it.

I like it for its smooth design (nice neutral colors) and for the very stable top menu. What is less successful is the top-menu's 'repetition' at the bottom of each page. That makes the pages a bit too 'busy'.

I like the colours too and I think it's quite common to repeat the navigation in the footer, it comes in handy for longer pages so the user doesn't have to scroll back up. What I think is odd and confusing is the American flag that works as the "home" button.

I'd prefer a fixed navigation menu, then.
