Please kindly review this site and let me know if there are any suggestions on improving it.

The site looks quite good. I just do not understand the use of small pixel fonts at barely readable size, then giant numbers at readable size. This is backwards, since the numbers are nonstandard and the text is what users will look to for understanding.

I'd love to see additional ideas attached to "business identities." Graphically nice. Bid names. This must be all making up an identity. No?

The site is graphically good. I'd like a little more visual representation of your design approach. I'm also none too keen on the use of "clip models."

Wow, I am impressed. In fact, I just looked through your portfolio, and it's some of the most impressive work I've seen. In fact, I recently submitted a site for review (http://www.t1solutions.com)and I would like YOUR feedback!

I wish I could give you some constructive criticism, but the work you do is actually what my company is going to need for a couple of new projects we are working on.

I do have a question, though. What kind of success have you had getting your sites ranked on search engines? They are beautiful, but very graphic intensive with less content. Is SEO something that you take into consideration when building sites?

Lovely looking site and impressive portfolio, nice one!

Two things though, it doesn't validate (http://validator.w3.org) because it hasn't got a DOCTYPE and index.html generates 45 errors. Also your meta tags are a bit overblown. I might be out of date but you seem to have broken SE rules regarding character length and you have a lot of repetition in your keywords (eg. graphic x 15!). I believe 3 is the maximum number of repeats. You could get blacklisted.

That aside, your work looks really good, good clean design, good colours and I especially like the image development with the low source.

Congratulations!

Thank you all for your comments. We will definitely take those into consideration when updating the site in a bit.

We are going to shoot our own photos in the coming months and replace the photography, as well as add some more information regarding our design approach.

As far as the search engines, that is our only lifeline for the past 3 years, and although most of our sites are graphical in nature, we have found the right balance between graphics and text.

GW,

Exceptional: flatly exceptional. The design is beautiful, load time is decent, and I *love* your headline ("Where Image Meets Imagination"). I think you're coming dangerously close to the neighborhood of perfection here.

In terms of your copy, there are only two points I'd suggest revising. They're painless:

1. You're leading with sentences built around passive verbs ("is" and "are"); passives disrupt reading flow by turning the focus back to the subject, rather than on to the predicate. Passives make transitioning harder, both for reader and writer. You'd be much better served with active verb leads.

2. It's a minor nit in this case, but lead with your clients' emotional need rather than an explanation of who you are. It's not a big deal in your case because (unlike with a LOT of other business sites) you obviously have had a professional copywriter do this. Your word count is joyously under control; your points are direct and graceful; your language is simple without being stupid. Moving the need up front and following that shortly with a "who we are" blurb will improve your copy effectiveness even further.

Congratulations on a fine design; my compliments to your copywriter. This is one of the best examples of effective web copywriting I've seen in the wild, in a very long time. Best of fortunes in your business.
