I have not checked this site out in Internet Explorer, but in FireFox the text is so large that I think the font size might actually be 500 pixels. Or to put it in lay terms: freaking huge.
Update: the font looks like it’s a heading in Internet Explorer. This is a classic case of bad web design furthered by bad web testing. Funny.
I’m viewing in ie6. The font size isn’t too bad: some like it large. It’s just a shame the entire page is written in bold. Capitals used where bold should be, underlines that aren’t links. Actually, I see what you mean: there are lot of links that look like headings.
But I really like the slogan at the top: “Keeping it Simple”, when the entire page is a mess.
A look at their source is pretty fun. From the multiple

tags to<title>
used twice in the<head>

Starts off OK, but keep scrolling on down for a good laugh. “Best viewed in IE” indeed.
