It looks very professional. The font size of your content may be a bit larger.

Professional and good looking. The header image file-size is big. Could optimize it better as it would help the page load faster. Also the HTML has a lot of white space; get rid of it.

I agree. Also could darken it.

Also always add a body background colour to all pages. As otherwise the default colour or custom colour chosen by the user would appear which could mar the look of the pages.

Lastly, could make better use of the title tag. Add a few important keywords in it.

I absolutely agree with Sands.

If you want an excellent contrast and luminosity, then try using as background color instead of #ffffff, use #f1f1f1 and for foreground color (font color) instead of #999999, use #474747.

Then you have a perfect combination for color blind people and for people with dyslexia too.

About your font sizes I have some tips but I will let you know if you first fix the above issue.

And if you really do all that, then I will give you many more tips about your site.

Your site has a great potential with very little work, to become one of the best sites on the web.

It!s up to you. :)

Well that made more contrast, to a point where on an LCD screen it was hurting my eyes.

I can see how the contrast can help some people while at the same time "torture" others.

Jimmi James, I honestly wanted to help you. But seems that you want to go your way. Your contrast and luminosity is still not ok.

But is is your site, and therefore your decision.

And I am sorry, but I cannot help you any further.

Good luck.

Hi.

Graphics at the top looks washed out, the TSR etc. I looked at the code and nothing is there. Have you done anything with meta tags etc or do you just want "the look" analyzed?

Font and background color sucks. Hard to read.

People are used to the nav to also be along the left hand side.

Other than that looks nice. Good luck.

Michael

Michael I told him that twice. Seems like he doesn't care.

I read all the critics to the webpage and one thing comes out loud, uniformity. Creating websites is as individual as the human creating it. We all have different tastes. So please don't forget it when evaluating someone's work. Besides, it is important to take note, who is targeted by the website. Dyslexia is hardly a problem on this particular page. People targeted would not suffer from it. This is addressing business that needs hi degree of IT services. I agree though the background could do with little bit of colour. Just a hint perhaps. But I see this site as very professional and on target for the audience intended. Well done.

I am not evaluating the taste. I am evaluating the site based on standards and evidence based facts.

I am not sure if I understood this. Do you mean that dyslexics are not a part of the target audience or that dyslexics will not have a problem with the page?
If it is the second case, yes they will. Font site, paragraphs length and overall readability is not efficient at all.

I never heard that companies providing high degree services ignore accessibility. For example Microsoft? Google?

Perhaps? Contrast results for colour blindness:

Normal-colour difference :459/brightness difference :153
Protanopia-colour difference :455/brightness difference :152
Deuteranopia-colour difference :457/brightness difference :153
Tritanopia-colour difference :453/brightness difference :153

That is a disaster. Sorry.

And I am sorry if someone thinks I am to hard. But I definitely have no intention to hurt someones feelings. I am just 100% objective doing site reviews. ;)

HI,

I think the site looks good, and you've done a good job. I have just one suggestion, aside from any of the aforementioned in posts.

Have you tested the page for cross browser compatibility? I just had a look and Firefox and Netscape don't display the top nav as professionally as Opera and IE, this can be confusing for some people and should be addressed.

After looking at the site on a CRT monitor I understood better what webnaut was saying. I think the problem is with my LCD, the fonts are very sharp, anything below #666666 hurt my eyes a little.


Here's the site webnaut version...
