Hokey Spoons! Steve (Videographer) made a huge point! A concierge business doesn`t help much if it`s a thousand miles away.... LOL! At least not until it`s a franchise operation... :-D

Hi, when I think of targeting the upper class,  I would maybe consider losing the cutesy pictures and some simple, more elegant colors like a beige/maroon color scheme for example.  but like I said, I`m far from being any sort of marketing expert.  Simply put, I have a hard time picturing a C.E.O. pushing his wife around in a grocery cart or he/she even considering the idea fun.  I do however like your set-up as far as things being easy to find.  I sincerely hope I didn`t offend you.  I will be putting up my web-site soon for everyone critique so be sure to have at it!!!    Good luck with your business!

Nearly everything has been said here.

I will just stress on one thing: No All Flash Site. All the SEO stuff holds true for this as said in earlier posts. Just one additional point for not using flash:
Click on any link on the top. If the page is extending down the screen use mouse scroll to go down the page -  It doesn`t work. Most of the users use the scroll button to scroll down the page. But, in your case one will have to explictly either use the scroll bar on the right of the page or will have to click once outside the flash and then use mouse scroll.
It might not sound a big issue but trust me. It is irritating for the user. I stress a lot on usability of an application. Hence, my comments.

But, I really loved your content and the topping of humor on it. Colors can be light green or light blue or lighter pink.

All the best .

Beyond what others have already posted, my main comment would be that if you are only going to have a one column site, I would make it fixed width and narrower.  The eyes really wander going back and forth across the page.

I`m not sure who your target market is, but that pink says elementary school to me.

Some other pinks that might work would be:

Cerise #DA3287
Cerise Red #DE3163
Charm  #D47494 (a little more greyed)
Deep Blush #E47698
Flirt #A2006D
French Rose #F64A8A
Fresh Eggplant #990066
Hibiscus #B6316C
Hollywood Cerise #F400A1 (this is  very close to what you have but not so bubble gummy)
Hot Pink #FF69B4
Jazberry Jam #A50B5E
