From a developer's point of view: HTML 4.0 and table layout stinks! Use CSS. Write in UTF8 and add a DTD. Use mod_rewrite to rewrite your URL (port number in a URL doesn't look profesional). From a visitor's point of view: The colors suck. And why do I have to log into the app to read the FAQ? The "welcome page" doesn't have navigation, other pages have it. BTW your home page is different from the welcome page, fix that too.

No user cares about HTML 4.0 and table layouts. I hate this complaint. Also, don't use mod_rewrite because it adds unnecessary overhead to your webserver.

    You can do smart URLs without mod_rewrite. Ever hear of rails?

        anyway forgive me but I was under the impression RoR had performance issues?

        Saying language X has performance issues makes no sense. Saying implementation X has performance issues does. It's not the language, it's the application/developer/configuration.

        RoR isn't a language.

  You're right about HTML4/tables... but the suggestion to use something (mod_rewrite or whatever) to get off a non-standard port (8081) is a good one. Non-standard ports look sketchy to many people -- and sometimes company networks even block access to them.

    Yes but you can do that without mod_rewrite.
