very nice site. only thing i feel is missing is a portfolio page. i know you have some of your work displayed in your "about" page, but it should have it's own section.

Nice design and layout. Colour is amazing.

Wow. That's a very nice template!

Good work man!

One thing I noticed is that the content under the "A Natural Web Solution" will be better if it is in an HTML format rather than an image.

I love the hover effect! As mentioned above, you should make your description as HTML. It will help you out with SEO and such. I'm not a fan of the texture/color in the footer. Maybe make it more like the top navigation?

Very clean looking design

. The colors you chose go nicely with each other.

Thanks for the comments! I've made a few more alterations from the feedback I've had here and another forum. I also plan on adding some subtle jQuery animations here and there, I just haven't got around to it yet!

I don't currently have enough completed websites to fill a portfolio. I do have work to showcase (thats in my online cv in my sig) but I think it would more 'deter' small businesses rather than attract them. So at the moment I just have the current projects in the about section

All of the imagery that is used for text has the text itself embedded into the HTML and hidden with CSS, that way it still shows up on search engines and for other devices e.g. screenreaders

I suppose it will be slightly harder to maintain, but I shouldn't have to change them that much!

I love the site's bright color.. very pleasing to the eyes!

Good job!

You already have some good comments on the layout/design. Now I am going to talk about your content.

From a business stand point I would take out "what a more experienced design agency may charge you" and replace it with "what other design agencies may charge you." You are a design agency. You don't need to state your inexperience, you will loose a lot of potential clients with that sentence.

On the services page, change "professional looking business cards" to "professional business cards." They are paying for them, they are professional business cards.

On the contact page, take out "informal." Let the client decide how formal the meeting is to be.

Awesome work man! I like it. Looks great. Great use of colors. I like green and brown.

Some good points! Thanks a lot

I like the brown on the bottom, it reflects nature... putting white like on the top would loose the meaning of nature and freshness. oh, and I love the little bird on the contact page for twitter, nice!

**MofoDog** · 03-24-2009, 06:20 PM
