It's not a cool-kid 'web 2.0' uber-app but it is an example of an everyday, real-world client site. The client in question was sold on rails when in the first week of development, they had a sufficient and very solid looking admin system.
Anyway, have a look, let me know your thoughts - and please tell me if you get any errors! :0S
Cheers,
Steve
p.s. we're Curve21 (http://www.curve21.com) - gotta love the 90s new media name - take a nice word, add a number...
I like the look. One thing I'm having a hard time with is figuring out exactly
what I can do on the site. At first I thought it might be like 43 things, but
it looks like I can buy... something? After clicking around I think it looks
like I can book activities? Anyway, I hope this feedback helps!

Congratulations Steve and well done!
It looks nice and it's pretty quick, too! The only thing I would add is
some recommendations for the lazy, like a days worth of activities in one
click if that is easily done.
There are more lazy people with money than there are without

Ah well like i said, it's nothing fancy like 43things - it really is an end-client site for a company that sells holiday experiences.
What are you running that on? Mongrel Cluster? Its nice and quick!!
It's just running on lighty with a bunch of fastcgi servers - it's just one machine at the moment with 3G RAM/dual cpu. Just goes to show that you don't need monster hardware to get a rails site started.
If you're in the UK, there was a 2 page spread today in 'The Sun' (national UK newspaper for those abroad), about the site so it's been pretty busy all day.
Glad it's getting good feedback - thanks for checking it out!

That's a good suggestion - we're planning out the next phase stuff in the next few weeks and I'll defiantly suggest that to the client.
