it needs some work... things I also don't like
1.bevels.
2.bevels.
3.link on the bottom
4.color usage.

things I like..

but I do think its a start, just cut back on the bevels, and try to get a color scheme.. perhaps http://www.degraeve.com/reference/pantone.shtml will help you out a bit..
good luck.

If you'd like things to stay on topic, please don't post another thread with the same web site in it.... ....

As for the design:

It is very unprofessional, like the others mentioned. I'm not critiqueing your business by saying that, I'm just saying the graphics are not professional, which makes your company not look professional. It looks more like a Warez site than a legitimate company.

The graphics are very "filter-ific". It looks like you just went to couple of tutorial sites and tried to use every single effect on one page. Which just does not work. You need to pick a style, and use it throughout the design. As it is now, there are about 4 different styles going on, and they all look like banner ads.

You use too many different fonts and font sizes and font distortions. Stick to a MAX of 3 fonts, and only a couple of different sizes.

The bevels have been mentioned enough already... They are terrible.

You have no actual text on the page, it's all images. Which makes it completely invisible to search engines and people that have images turned off in their browsers to load pages faster. They would just get a blank page.

The colors are overwhelming. Like the others said, just stick to one or two colors, and a couple of shades.

Overall the site lacks gestalt, meaning that it looks like a bunch of pieces were thrown together. Nothing matches or goes together or fits into a complete site. It looks more like a couple of banner ads put together on page.

And I won't comment on the other pages or the fact that every page is different or your "business" since you have a problem with it.

If you got positive reviews on the other forums, you might not want to listen to anything they say in the future, because they aren't being honest. Or they just don't know any better.

hrmmm. was it something we said?

I find it disrespectful to critique something admittedly under construction especially after having being asked not to. Thus I simply took the positive and constructive criticism and implemented them leaving the negative ones to their own demise.

ok so, its my turn, your design lacks everything. My first impression was, hey hes learning photoshop, thats nice....then I noticed you were serious....my teeth began to chatter and my eyes began to water. The fonts and the colors nearly gave me a sezure. I then had to call poison control because I was color poisoned......I escaped death to warn you, this design wont help you, I would start over.

anyone else like to salt their nuts? SALTY BALLZ SALTY BALLZ...
why would you post if you don't want criticismizmshizzo? I mean it seems like you were looking for what I call a "momma-post" which basically means you want praise and nothing but praise. THey were just trying to help and point out that for a professional business graphics depicted as such on your webpage would not help promote the professional feel/look they thought would work best to promote your services.

but i'm betting this post will be deleted b/c i'm screaming salty ballz in it. :( but maybe someone could just edit b/c i think it's great stuff

see kneadingu.....this link i give u ...is to a gay template i made in umm lets say 0.0000424232424 mila seconds (damn thats quik:D) anways...even something like this would look more professional http://nname.clanned.net/gn/ take a peek ;)
