Well, I finally finished my re-design...well, 95% of it. There are a few quirks and issues that are still being dealt with, but I'd like some feedback if anybody would care to give it.

Also, what do you professionals do to get your clients? What kinds of advertising works the best for you? Are your clients more from word of mouth? Is there any form of advertising that works best in your opinion? Yellowpages? Newspaper? Magazines? Cold Calling? Paying for online advertising? Email Marketing? Link Exchange?

Thanks,

Dan

Very nice design. This is a perfect example of consistency of font usage, design theme, etc.
I just noticed something when I clicked on the links to the sub-menu. The page opened all by itself and the frames are gone (and I have to click "Back" to go back to the previous page). I wonder if it's supposed to work this way. I assumed the page will load within the frameset itself.

for your comments!

Yeah, that's one of things we're working on right now. I needed to get the site up - it's functional, but that's one of the items on my list that we're working on.

Thanks,

* Nice Design!
* Liked when it shows different images when refresh it on index page

The only comment would be when you click on nav bottons the text comes down because of the big image. So at first I did not see the website and thought I was clicking at the same page. may be use smaller image in other pages.

Great looking site! The layout's clean and easy to read. The colors look pretty good together - especially the image of Italy and Venice's(?) canals!

I did notice, though, that your index page runs about 100k. That's a bit high for folks on dialup. They may leave before your page finishes loading because of the long download time. Just something to think about....

One thing about the changing images. They didn't all work so well for me visually. I really like the one of the canals. But it stayed the same for several page links, then "suddenly" changed when I clicked "Contact", which I thought was rather jarring, since the colors of the next image were entirely different (the dish array). Same thing when I started revisiting links and got the penguin. The colors just seem jarring when transitioning from the darker colors to the lighter ones.

Last thing - a small typo on your Company page. You've got a link under Design Method to "Go-Live!", but the heading it's linked to is labelled "Go Live!" I suggest getting rid of the hyphen for consistency.

Like I said, you've got good-looking site design.

HTH!

Thanks for your input. The rotating images are one of my minor projects still. They are not intended to be just the image, but I needed to get the site up and running. When will it ever end......

Thanks again,

Dan

Never! LOL!!! That's part of the fun, isn't it? ;)
