Actually with the exception of the copy, which may or may not get straightened out, it's a pretty decent little WP design. And like I said, I used the opportunity (which was basically a favor for a buddy) to take Compass for a spin, to fine tune my own little Sass library that I've been working on, and to get to know and work with a new designer. Building a cathedral was never the idea.

My main client is the one I'm obsessively steering toward great software.
