We are a professional graphic design studio, so why would we want to hear website critiques from you? Simple... you (business owners/managers) are our clientele. I would greatly appreciate comments on  how our website is perceived.

If you were looking for graphic design services and landed on our website, can you find quickly what you are looking for?
Does our copy speak to the standard business owner/manager?
Does our site and information lead you to want a free quote?
Does our portfolio impress you, or not so much?
Too much text, too little text?
Anything you see getting in the way of finding what you want?
General thoughts?

We would appreciate any and all comments, and in turn will professionally analyze your site and suggest changes/upgrades that you could do to improve your site and traffic.

Thank you!

I`ll answer your questions first: Yes, yes, no, yes, just right-but, yes.

Now for the last question:  Your site is trying to be too much for too many (Everything for Everybody).  I am not sure just what your core-competency is from this site.  Maybe you need multiple sites for the multiple specialties.

A personal dislike of mine are the frequently changing graphics on the page.

Your portfolio is impressive.

Viewed in FireFox 2.x, and IE 6.x.

In FireFox, everything below the banner was in a vertical column. In IE, there are two columns. So there may be some compatibility issues you`ll want to check.

There are two columns in safari as well. I think Firefox is the culprit here. I can`t believe I`m saying that in a conversation that also contains Internet Explorer.

Making limitless possibilities much more limited.

I`m not sure what you`re seeing because it looks fine in Firefox 3.0.11

The site was really engaging. I liked the color scheme and your staff and testimonial pages are very personable. Lots of design companies forget the personable.

I loved everything, except the competition. ;)

Your artists do beautiful work!

Too much text, too little text? Too much text - but not walls of text.
Anything you see getting in the way of finding what you want? There is a LOT to digest.
General thoughts? Great work, great site and maybe limit the amount of `stuff`.

I find the design and layout really impressive, nice job! I`m using Firefox and no issues there. My IE displays it fine too. The only thing I find a little irritating is the plehtora of buttons, personally I could do with just the top navigation bar. But that`s just me.

I thought the site was very attention grabbing, although the color scheme was not for me.  I had no problem viewing in IE or Firefox.

Craig, you are probably the last person on earth using Firefox 2.  Time to upgrade, buddy.

I have so many utilities I use regularly that were designed for W98SE, I use that as my main partition. I do have FF 3.x on my NT partition, but I don`t like that as much.

It`s not so much the FireFox 2.x that matters. It`s the overall concept of compatibility. Would we say that I`m also the last person on Earth using Internet Explorer 6.x? What about Chrome, or Safari? :-)
