Any feedback is greatly appreciated, especially on functionality of the site to those viewers on older machines, (ie 6, 5.5 etc) . Also how effective the services descriptions are in making you want to move forward with your project if your on the fence about hiring a professional firm.

Thank you in advance,

Good day.

I like the overall design. Clean and nice, soothing colors.
But, when I click on the "Want to save some green" link, it takes me nowhere!
On the "Like what you see" page, the bottom text area for "Job Description" is going over the right side of the page (the green area), covering part of the AIM screen name.

I am using Firefox 3.0.3

Good start!  The only compaint I would have as a potential customer is that there is too much text on the homepage.  There isn`t a readily available link or invitation to view previous work, etc.  These two things are what I would recommend to my clients.

I looked at the stie, and wasn`t too thrilled with it. Two big problems (for me) were the changing banner at the top (from Maryland Keymakers to Bodies in Motion), and the hard-to-read typeface contrast.

The shifting banner makes no sense at all, and totally confused me in terms of any kind of message. That, and there`s too much text in both to get any sort of message across.

If I want a Web developer, and happen to find your site, I want to see a couple of things instantly....with a 4-second "glance."

• I`ll assume my site will look like this site: Do I like it?
• How easy is their site to use, since they`ll probably make my site the same or in a similar way?
• What are they selling?
• What`s so special about them?

The development and design field is filled with people. It`s not saturated yet, but it sure is hard to stand out. This site doesn`t stand out.

I`m using FireFox 1.x, and IE 6.x, and had no trouble at all viewing the site.

I went to the "Our Work" tab, and expected to see a quick and easy link to a portfolio. Instead, I saw only more text. What might be better would be some thumbnails or a gallery of images (clickable) that show a virtual tour of some of your best work, along with customer testimonials.

You have that, but I only began to see it when I randomly clicked on some of the topics listed in the "Our Work" page. There needs to be a better, more visual way to quickly get the visitor *seeing* your work...not reading about it, y`know?

Again, the font color was so hard to read, it was a chore. If it weren`t for this being a critique, I would`ve left the home page shortly after I arrived.

All in all, your work is really good! The logos are excellent, and you have something I think is a solid value. It`s just not being presented well.

Not everyone is an expert at everything. In the most broad categories, we`d separate Production people from Marketing people. I`m thinking you excel in production, so why not invest a little money in a professional marketing person or company? "Do what you do best, and delegate the rest," as they say. :-)

Thank you so much Craig. I appreciate your time looking over my new site. I will definately look into some freelance marketing help with getting my prospects engaged in what I`m trying to do here.

Thanks again for your help and everyone that has taken the time to look over the site,

i agree with craig. The color`s contrast annoys my eyes...im not a fan of the blue text on white..and the ever-changing banner. but solid all around, nice work!
