In the order that they struck me, initial thoughts are:

I think your header is too deep. There's quite a bit of wasted space there that means you have to scroll to see the message below. Also your new year message takes even more space, is just gratuitous and adds nothing to the site.

A fixed width website wastes a lot of space on modern monitors that tend to be widescreen.

Mission statement and Core Values! That's so 90's. And it's very hard to read with its very long sentences. Better to have bullet points for the things you are trying to get over.

Whilst using AET to describe yourselves is probably very familiar to you, it was not obvious to me until I had worked it out. It's OK to use it if for example it's the main part of your logo. Otherwise, either spell your name out in full every time you use it or put an explanation somewhere prominent.

Even with very careful reading of your message, I don't get what you're offering or what the added value is to me. I'm afraid the message inside your header is completely nonsensical. What it says is that superior customer service and team support is what will drive web traffic to my site!

Your prominent use of the word Adsense implies some association with that other well known product with the same name. However, in reality it appears you have no link with Google at all. If that is the case, I think that the main thing this site will attract is Google lawyers.

eliteteam,

I don't like it.
It looks like it was built from a template. There is no sense of good design.

The title of every page I visited is the same. In the top right you have what appears to be links at first glance -- but once you read them it is obvious you are just sticking some keywords in there.

I agree with Dave Barnes -- it appears that this was built from a template, a bad one at that. You have a paragraph after the closing html tag. The site fails all validators.

Who are you? Where are you? Your "contact us" page is a form to contact you. Besides that I saw no contact information. To contact you my email address is a required field. What is your email address?

I was able to find out from the "free works at home" website that this site is a "division of" that you are from San Diego -- or at least that's what it says on that site.

No -- I have no interest in a link exchange.

I pretty much agree with all of the above comments, apart from

. I don't agree with this seeing as the majority (by far) of websites are fixed width, mainly because they look SO MUCH tidier. Sites with a lot of content on them that are full-width look really messy and it is harder to find info. I have a 24" dell widescreen however i don't often maximise websites on that, because i have other programs open at the same time.

Apart from that though, the website looks real messy and the content on the homepage looks like one of those websites that try to sell you dodgy "e-books that will change your life!".

also, USE PADDING! On the coloured boxes On the homepage, the text is butted right up against the edges, whereas 5-10px of padding would make that look tidier.

The Signup page definantly needs sorting out - your wasting about 650px of the page BEFORE you even see the form!!

I think i'll "half" take back my comment about max-width websites looking untidy, because they can work, but only if it is very well designed, and they only seem to work with e-commerce websites like Amazon (even though some pages can look stretched). With max-width websites, you need to have a lot of content on each page to make it worth-while, otherwise the pages can look weak. All comes down to design.

A business website is not the place for holiday clipart (example: Sign Up, Login pages). Lose the Xmas and New Year banners and add something that relates to your website.
