Lovely Medicinal Herbs Site!

How kind of you to respond so quickly and tuck my "too many toys" suggestion away for your company.
I have been a fan of your trans-generational family company since the early 1980s, when I lived in the Chilcotin and raised herbs, and I point it, and its development (and promotion of herb production) out as a valuable example of community-based economic development.
I manage a website myself, and am currently working on web-based university course design. I am finding that too many softwares intrude so much that the manipulation of the tools (too often toys like icons) becomes more important than the content and outcome of the tool-use.
I cannot imagine anything driving gardeners more crazy than that kind of intrusiveness. I know some seed catalogues who manage to do it in print, too. Very ill advised.
It is a trait of the machine tinkerers (computer geeks are lineal descendants of automobile enthusiasts), not of us hands-on-the-soil folks, who still prefer elegantly simple tools like hoes.
Yet this is hard to be articulate about when faced with manic software and webpage designers, who could not live with one judicious ladybug, nor with the calm retreat of the garden, nor the intrinsic appeal of tradition, such as herbal medicine stands for.
They rarely understand that the tone and the "metaphor" of the site need to be consistent with the company and the product, as yours is. An intrusive "futuristic/spacestation" website would introduce a mixed message and set up some pretty mistrustful vibes in would-be customers.
I have bookmarked your site as a good example. Keep up the good work.
I hope you will have sweetgrass seed someday. I understand my friend in Ottawa got your only available-for-retail sweetgrass plant last year.
Cheers, and back to my Burnaby garden.
