The navigation is a bit tricky -- the three bar menu shortcut is sort of semi-standard on phone apps, but not so much on websites. It took me a bit before I figured it out. I asked my wife to look at the page and to find the navigation menu -- she scrolled and looked for a bit, then said "there isn't one." Had she scrolled all the way down she might have seen the links, or perhaps if the three bars stayed pegged to the top of the page she might have noticed them, but as it is she did not -- it takes some savvy and of persistence -- not sure that's the goal. It's more minimal on the landing page, but less obvious and less user friendly IMHO. It is, on the other hand, appears to be trying to be trendy and "hip" -- which, ironically, seems antithetical to the position of Riv as a company. YMMV -- I'm just a grumpy middle-aged guy in the frozen tundra of the midwest, so...
