Hey there :-) I took a look at the site and have a few comments. Of course.

The banner up at the top is pretty large, wouldn`t you say? On my 19" monitor, it takes about a quarter of the screen. On a 17" monitor, I`m thinking it`d take up almost half the screen real estate. That means....scrolling.

I know a lot of people have their ideas about color schemes, so I`ll just say that I found it hard to see the various team names and featured services, with the low-contrast black (?) on orange. Same with the dark blue on light blue of the banner

Finally, based on our own growing education and experience, I`m really becoming an advocate of headings and bullet points---headings for sure, if the bullet points aren`t easy to come up with. I think more and more people tend to come to a site and skim down the page. The large headings should be a simple outline on each page, telling the complete story without needing the content.

You have your big banner with "Priceless Writers," then your first heading is... Priceless Writers. Why not have the heading start the sales process? You could remove the first sentence, and instead, make your heading:

LOL CRAIG!!!  I just saw what you put at the end! hahaha.  Classic.

Hey, there`s a reason "Content is King!" um.....because it IS! LOL!

Okay...so ya wanna be different, eh? How about......

The colors and their text aren`t great together, as Craig said. And the logo doesn`t match anything else in the site.

The large orange buttons do nothing for the page.

The main area and right column are too removed from each other; a distinct separation is needed, but in this case they look totally alienated, partly due to the horizontal orange bars, and the space between them. And it looks like the top menu is the same way; distanced from the left side of the header. The layout just doesn`t work.

The 2 right menus are confusing. The first menu with the names are links, which are fine. The second menu makes a visitor logically think, if they`ve clicked names int he first menu, that this area is also links, but they aren`t and they should be so that you can give more information on each item listed there. Then you click the "And much more" line, which is a link, and now you get a page of your services. To me, it just seems confusing the way you have it set up.

The FAQ rating system is a neat twist, but I`m not sure how often people rate questions/answers in them.

Looking at your source code, this is a Wordpress program?
