Your site has good looks but the text size is very small whic makes it unreadble so make it a little bigger. Other than that try to shorten your meta description I believe it is way to big can get you in spam. Rest is ok

i love the pic of the eye.... suggestion would be to use a different photo in that spot on every page...
something that will better identify that page that they are on... people are very visual... this would give it some freshness on every page as well

Default few suggestions

I think the logo section is too large.
Shifting the content under the fold.

I like the whole design but I would make the logo a bit smaller.

Good job though ;)

Default My Thoughts

The description of your company and its function is succinct and to the point, always a good thing.

However, for a software development company, I am afraid the site is too bland and lacks creativity. I feel some color and perhaps a flash intro (even just within the landing page) might showcase what your company does better than the plain black and white look of the site right now.

Of course, depending on the clientele you hope to attract to your site, it may be just fine. But I see potential clients you could entice to look further into your business looking for something more attractive, especially for a web services and ecommerce solutions company, and it certainly wouldn't scare away larger companies or corporations to spice up and showcase what you do, which makes it win win.

Check your spelling... or "typos"

I know there are a lot of words to check, but there
are some errors.

One page with errors:

You'd get many more replies if you put an active link to your site within the post. I realize it is listed in the subject, but anyone wanting to take a look would still have to go out of their way to get to your site. The easier you make it on your potential visitor (including in these forums) the more likely they will respond.

I like the eye graphic, but it dominates the entire site. It's the only thing my eyes want to look at, and I hardly noticed anything else. I guess this is a mock up? The page I'm looking at has dummy text?

I'll be implementing all the necessery points that will give a good look and can generate meaningfull business for me. Thanks again and look forward for more critical analysis.

I Like the colours and layout, so I'll keep my comments to SE and mainly very pedantic technical points.

1. The site doesn't validate - there's no declared doc type. You are selling web development services - so you should be setting a good example see also 4, 7, 8 below. Personally I don't give web development work to any supplier that doesn't use CSS and produce validated code. In a highly competitive business area you need to check all these little details, it could make the difference between gaining and losing a potential customer.

2. The Description metatag text is too long, and seems to include all the keywords. This tag is not often used, but it is best to keep it to a short relevant text on the company / your offering. Also the page title should change for the different sections of your site for optimal SE take up.

3. The Keyword metatags, include all sorts of terms that don't appear in the page body. These also include *very* popular terms that you won't stand a chance of getting a ranking on. You should concentrate on key phrases that you expect people to type to get to your site, and ensure they are in the text body too.

4. No Alt text on images (at least alt="" should be included, this is also an opportunity for SE text).

5. Graphics are used for headings, and the headings are rather generic. For SE purposes it might be better to use key phrases and heading text.

6. I'd drop the Javascript as it's not really needed.

7. The stylesheet could be in a separate file - not essential but it'll reduce the file size slightly, and once it's cached it won't be needed for the remaining pages. Also there's use of depreciated HTML. it would be better to use CSS.

8. Tables for layout!! See above and point 1.

9. The top banner of your site degrades in IE and Mozilla Firefox with large text sizes selected.

Sorry my comments are so 'picky' As I said the overall design looks good, it's just that some tweaks are needed under the hood to make it even better.

Good luck.

Default Site Review...

Hi,
In my opinion, there is too much text on the page. Others have complained about the font being too small. I disagree. The font actually looks good, and you would be wise to keep it, but the content is too verbose.

Cheers!

Default My $.02

I like the slickness and corporate feel of the site (colors and all), however it appeared to be too detailed at first glance -- reiterating what said before about text heavy. All of that coupled with the font being just slightly too small. It read like a "news" site to me. Maybe the volume of text made the font "appear" small. Also, I agree the eye is too big and the entire upper portion of the page is stagnant. What brought my attention to this was this...clicking on buttons, at first appeared to do nothing at all. The text appeared too small, and the entire top portion was unchanging. I didn't notice any changes until I read.

What would have made a difference to me, since your market is that of site design and interactivity (as far as I can tell) is to utilize the upper header better. Everything is too static and I think that if you presented something that portrayed your talents up there would do some good, a bit (not extravagant) of flash perhaps -- and as was said before perhaps a change taking place where the eye is for various pages within the site (at least 2nd tier) whether a change in pic, change in location, or change in color even.

Also, I had to read quite a bit of text before I kinda figured out what you specialized in. But overall in my opinion, very good...nothing that couldn't be fixed in a few minutes.

Just my two cents....

When I first looked at your site, I couldn't really get what is was about in the first three seconds. My eye went straight to the black and white picture, and I was a little confused about what it means.

Maybe have your logo be more of a focus, and have the reason you have the site be a little more bold. The site seems to compete with itself. The body text is a little small.

good luck.

Default The Links Script

i liked the Link Fading Script :),first time to see it
i think the services headline need to be mor visible to attract the visitors,may be with a diffrent color or as a small images like the SERVICES:OVERVIEW image
also i'like the designs of the E-commerce sites in your portfolio.
hmmmm ,i think you may want to remove the AdSense as long as it's your portfolio site and you dont want your customer to go away

Since you've had plenty of responses, I'll just comment on the eye pix. I would flip the image towards the page and add color to the iris. A spectrum of colors would be neat.
