This is the forum for you. When submitting your site, be sure to discuss what aspect you are looking for input on. Just posting a link with the word 'review' isn't appropriate.

Site looks good except for the turquiose on white text. Contrast is too low and difficult to read.

In Firefox, the navigation keeps looping -- it's practically impossible for a user to target.

You're trying too hard to do with the gee whiz gimmicky layout what should be done with the work. I don't get the impression you're showcasing 3D Architectural imagery -- I do get the impression you're trying to get web layout work. Lose the gimmickry, feature the 3d imagery.

I agree about the aqua text on the white background. Change to a darker color that is more easy to read. Plus the aqua color does not fit in with your color scheme.

You need more contact info than just e-mail...phone, physical address. I could not figure out where in the world you were located until I read the "About Us" and that didn't tell me a heck of a lot about you.

The special effects when pointing on an item on the menu I personally find annoying and unnecessary.

Page looks off balance on my screen. There is a lot of empty black space on the left and I have to scroll to the right to be able to see the remainder of the page.

Looks good, but something I don't like in this site... I don't know what, but it is hard to get in...

Background music playing on pageload: NO!

Few users appreciate music playing on a web page. Thankfully, you've provided a means of turning it off. I'd strongly recommend that you remove the music entirely.

Missing meta keywords and descriptions tags: NO!

Do not under any circumstances neglect these two fundamental components in your website optimization effort, especially considering your site does not contain a lot of text.

Same title attributes on every page: NO!

The <title> tag gives you a solid opportunity to focus your optimization efforts around your targeted keywords/key phrases. Make sure the title reflects the content on each page.

Missing <h1> heading tag: NO!

This is one element that you may wish to consider adding. It's just good SEO.

Sloppy code most likely generated by an inefficient HTML editor: NO!

For example "<p>&nbsp;</p>" and "<h2>&nbsp;</h2>", it's just sloppy coding and it does nothing to help streamline your page loading times or bandwidth. Work on a CSS class that'll allow you to space out paragraphs and page elements more efficiently.

Obvious template design that looks like millions of other websites: NO!

Spend some time or some cash to get a designer to provide a unique layout for you. The last thing you want is for users to assume that the site they're looking at is a "cookie cutter" site, probably run by a spammer who's building Adsense sites. This is usually what we find with template sites.

"Contact Us" spawns a Mailto link: NO!

Mailto links give users the impression that you're "small potatoes". Implement a proper Contact information page to build some credibility.

If you want users to email you, set up a proper email script and a form. The old mailto method is the best way to have your email address harvested by spambots. Probably not something you want to have happen.

Missing email address, contact phone number, and physical location: NO!

You can't reasonably expect users to contact you if you're not willing to share the most basic information about your company. No one is likely to see you as reputable or trustworthy if they can't easily find out where you're located or how to get in touch with you.

Make it easy to contact you, provide a phone number, physical address, mailing address and email address so that prospective clients can contact you using their preferred method.

your use of the colour turquoise with a hint of acqua is excellent for the logo but difficult to read as text.

good luck with your new venture!
