Why would you use a web design template that forces your most important content down beneath the fold of the page where it's not immediately visible and users have to scroll to find it?

The home page is attractive, but I'd suggest you alter the content pages and remove the enourmous graphic that takes up half the page. It's completely redundant on every other page but the home page. With a quick glance, the content pages should look similar to but not exactly like the home page. That's not to say that they ARE exactly like the home page, simply that they look too similar to be easily distinguished as diferent content.

You're missing a meta description meta tag. Why?

You're missing a meta keywords meta tag. Why?

You've neglected to use targeted keywords as link text, instead using "Learn More" which provides no SEO benefits whatsoever.

Why no <h1> heading? You've omitted a critical element by not including the main page heading.

If you're selling Web Development, SEO or other services, how about a portfolio or list of client testimonials. Be sure to include the back stories and end results.

Hi Dubbya,

Thank you for taking the time to analyze our website.

Your suggestion about the big graphic in the middle is very good. Regarding the meta tags, we intentionally left them our for now.

We really appreciate your input.

Thank you again.

The site looks presentable.

If you're selling web design services, your code should be up to date and up to standard. Using tables for layout shows that your skillset is not up to date. That may not kill you on the retail side but it will absolutely kill you on the wholesale side.

There's something about the "Mission" section with the light gray text that bugs me. Presentable graphics, but agree with losing the table format, this will hurt your SEO results.

You better put a background color on Body. Those who have the default set to something else in the browser aren't seeing what you intend.

From my perspective I don't see any tables in your code, in fact your code is very clean at initial glance. If you were to happen to include a couple of html tables in your pages then I also think this is perfectly acceptable. Sometimes tables are useful and no harm done (certainly not so much excess code that it would harm SEO). IMHO.

My comments are on appearance of the site. First, I have never been a fan of tall headers, I think a waste of very valuable real estate. Perhaps on the splash page the header is OK but it takes away from content through the remainder of the site.

I have a fairly bright 19" monitor and it is proving a strain to read your content. My design approach is that gray on white should be a dark shade so almost black. I find on your page in particular there is so much white space it is a strain on the eyes to read the content. For the dark background you might want to also replace the middle shade gray and go more to white for similar reasons.

My last comment is about the Business Intelligence as a Service. Could you perhaps focus this line of services a little. It comes across as a shotgun description for all things business analytical. Do you specialize in a particular sector? Do you concentrate on small/midsize? How many staff do you have to undertake this work? What are their specific abilities? With no portfolio of clients or examples of the systems you have implemented this service page may fall flat on some potential customers.

Good luck!!
