I've been needling and picking at it too long. Time for some advice form the webmaster community.

Any ideas? Comments? Suggestions???

Since the site involves you selling webdesign temps etc, then maybe you should make it look a little more creative. Make it rememberable.

I read not so many months ago that for a webdesign orientated website to succeed you need that glossy spark which invites any user to be intreged. - You've nearly got it IMHO

As the site stands at the moment, the logo is lacking behind the rest of the site. I think a little gloss and a splash more of colour you will have a great site.

Good luck

You have an animated header image. That's one of the biggest mistakes you could do, in my opinion. Animation distracts people and makes visitors want to leave your site, rather than to read it.

I agree with vkw91, your site looks ok but if you design websites your site should look absolutely amazing. That's the only way to success.

Your copy is a bit confusing. I like the slogan-like heading "Run Your Business. Leave the technology to us." but why the very next line says this: "Website and Graphic Design, Joomla CMS, Custom Programming".

First you are saying that the customer can leave you the technology, but on the very next line you flood the visitor with buzzwords no normal person would understand.

Looks ok. But there is a kind of "made of template" feeling...

I don't get the reason why someone would pay for your services when they can just get a template and change the type to their liking.

There's no real "design" in your work.

Thanks for the comments.

Matt, It's called template customization. Most of what I do is the graphics and logo design. It saves the customer a lot of money (less time involved)., and it's what they are asking for in "some" cases. I don;t always use templates. I won't comment on your two sites in your signature. I'll just say that you are color blind. : )

I really like everything under the header and background of the links. The header to me looks so cheesy, almost like a government page. If its web design, I think you should have a spectacular header image showcasing professional grade photoshop/design skills since most of what you do is graphics...

When I first looked at it, I didn't realize the images rotate.. I would loose the patriotic symbols prevalent in the design, they seem out of place to me. Oh and I believe that is a comment on those two sites of his :P

Good Luck

Juice it up make it look more unique but also follow a certain type of layout style like web 2 or something else that is unique but standard.

Thanks..... the reason I went with the headers being governmenty, is because the GOv and State will be my main customers : (

I spent a lot of time on them.... sorry you don;t think they show any PS skills : ( I'll probably change it all..... sick of looking at it.
