Noos.com shows its attention to detail by nicely color-coordinating the top navigation bar on each page with the background of the page. Although this feature works only on Internet Explorer 5.5+ for PCs, it is so easy to implement that it is difficult to understand why its use is not widespread.

Most of the navigation menus are clearly visible on the left side and top of the page, where the user would expect them to be.
