Shocking!!!

I thought my homepage looked bad to potential clients (no time to work on my own site) but this is one of the worst I've seen.

I don't want to sound mean but just because you have a copy of Dreamweaver/Frontpage doesn't make you a website designer.

I think a bit more emphasis on the Cogz Designs + visual expressions for business could bring the site together a bit more. Larger or thicker font for the Cogz Designs and maybe Italics on visual expressions for business.

Personally, the peach color doesn't excite me. But otherwise a good start.

I think its a good site. Don't make me think, thats the idea. Good use of the page. Use the HTML Tidy in the W3C Validator to clear up your alt issues.

I have been thinking of changing the logo text. However it's on everything involved with my work as far as printed labels, business cards and i have already established the name. So i decided to change that when I am doing a make over for the whole thing. Probably by April when I will be introducing new products. I will keep averything in mind that i am getting from here. Thanks guys.

Any other suggestions out there?

um your logo will need to be unique but good looking at the same time, all i can say is fix your errors, also are those logos you are selling yours, as in your own designs as they look very familiar with some packs i purchased?

Thanks Watts. All the work you see on my website is mine. Please let me know if you find anything that looks like it and i would be glad to look into it. I will be working on everything as soon as i finish with the project i have right now. Again Thanks.

One key thing web designers must remember is to show thier own personality in thier portfolio, which I honestly think is missing in your site. A corporate site for a web developer rarely works.

Something about the site, probably the colour scheme, makes me think this is a very old fashioned design - i.e. 5 years out of date. The web's moved on since!

It should also be noted your code is disgusting and that from a web standards and accessibility point of view, the web site is very poor.

My advice is scrap the entire table based design and code it all by hand with only CSS. The site would then be web standards compliant (hopefully) and something that can be respected as a web designer's own site.

Looks pretty good!!

Just a tip... one of the first things I learned you should never ever put on a web page is 'under construction' or 'coming soon'...

I like the design though
