Good job. It looks nice and useful.

suggestion: remove "Email us at info at conceptual-clarity dot com" at the bottom of your website. It gives your site unprofessional look. Replace it with a form.

I don't think spelling out the email address makes the site look unprofessional. And I'd much rather have an email address than a form for contacting someone (unless somehow your form provides me a nicer interface for editing a message than my email client).

The alternative is to render the email address to an image, but that makes it hard to copy and paste.

Or the alternative is get a decent spam filter. I have email addresses on public sites as actual links and with decent spam protection, its not an issue. Making users decipher your email address or work to send you an email is a barrier you don't want between yourself and getting feedback.

you make an excellent point. Most mailing lists I use have public archives and my email address is all over the web, yet I still feel the urge to obfuscate it where I can. maybe I should be less paranoid.
