Matauri states the impression I too had. Blah, blah, boxes -- then STUFF -- and then dot blah, blah. Boring comes to mind as a descriptor. The only thing I initially saw was STUFF, and I've already got plenty of that -- don't need any more. Oh, yeah, those things with antennae! We've got one of those, don't we.

True, the colors are good, but that's like a used car salesman suggesting that a vehicle he wants to unload has a really good windshield. Without even a little eye-catchiness, you're not gonna be remembered. If STUFF is the only thing that catches the eye, and maybe a picture or two of routers, switches or bridges, a surfer's eyes are likely to glaze over as they cursor over to the back button. A graphical element that alludes to broadband would really add a lot to your online image as well as to any print media promotional stuff you might generate. Even if a bug (graphical logo element) that directly relates to your mission (product line) isn't used, a bit of dynamism (or 'sizzle,' as they say on Madison Avenue) needs to be added to your masthead. But what the hell do I know? At first blush, our site has been suspected of representing a kennel.
