Great color combo

This is another one of those all on one page sites. I'm gonna call 'em scroll sites till i find out if there is a conventional name for them cause you do scrolling and alost they are like those big long scrolls messengers had back in castle times. Anyways this site:

Is definitely a scroll page. It is relatively flat but I think thats just cause I just went through a bunch of pages that felt like they had good depth to them. THe color choice was awesome though. The three colors of the witch hat cakes in the above picture are used throughout the  entire site and with that egg shell 'ish color in the back it felt like a really artsy bakery the entire time which is what the site is advertising so good job designer of this site. I can also tell it was well colored because I now find myself wanting a bakery good with marzipan on it. The one thing I did want to point out and actually wanted to use this site to show a the importance of a seemingly small thing is that nave bar location. When you land on the page it works out fine as you can see in the screen shot it is right there and ready. but if you hit any of those nav buttons you get sent toward the bottom of the scroll and have to scroll back to the top of the page to find that nav bar again. Of course you can still access the info by just scrolling to it yourself but then that produces the problem of you aren not sure which section of the page you are on because there were few headings on this page. It is ok there weren't headings in a way because some of it is self explanatory but  when designing a site the designer must design so that even the most computer illiterate person can still at least know where they are. Overall I liked the sites look the colors worked with the crafty photos near the bottom. It gave a very friendly personable feel. really that navigation is the only thing that is a hold back.
