Woot! Let me know your thoughts! [:
I used Firefox 6 and IE 9. I didn't read all the text as I'm not much for marketing speak, but the site looks clean and legible for the most part. =)


* I'm not sure what resolution is expected nowadays, but the large image forced me to scroll down to actually read. My resolution is 1280x1024.

* The on/off highlights for the arrow buttons aren't consistent between the Home and Our Work pages... Honestly, I'm not sure I would have even noticed they were an input method had I not been clicking around to test.

* I have not used Tumblr so I'm not sure how much of this is you, but the blog is divided into thin columns of tiny text that squish themselves up the top of my screen.
Woot! Sweet delicious feedback.

What did you feel was too salesy about the copy? Its been a persistent goal of mine t remove "fluff".

I did realize the three usability issues with the design you mentioned during our tests. Already revising the site to fix them. Stupid deadline forced me to release this before the 10th.

I'll knock out on/off buttons and tumblr layout today since it wont take long.
Sexy.
As beautiful as your websites logo is, it is taking up way to much space. I was clicking through some of the links and all I saw was the giant logo, which I thought might have been an error since it didn't look like anything changed, but instead it was just that I needed to scroll down. This might not seem like a huge issue, but I don't want to have to play "Wheres waldo" with the information, you know?

Besides that, with your examples of other websites you have made. It might be a better idea to let us actually go to the website and experience it for our selves. Just seeing a picture of the main page doesn't do much but tell us how nice the front page will look. It doesn't give us first hand experience with your work or how well it actually works in a realistic setting.

For the get a quote part, I would suggest setting up some general price guidelines. like a basic website might cost X amount or each additional page might cost X or what have you. Generally when something asks me to contact them for more information, I dismiss it and look for something else, because essentially they have failed to fill me in enough about the product to make me want to get more information. Especially when money is involved. This is just a personal preference of mine though, but I know for me, I really appreciate an upfront sort of estimate of what I should expect, so I don't want an hour calling you just to find out that the website is way out of my price range or what have you.

As for the blogs, I don't use tumblr either so when I see these blog sections, I have no idea what they are or how to use them. Do you click on the picture? Is there a link somewhere? is the whole blog post going to appear under the picture and from what we have seen so far you have just made small post? I don't know. Lol. Maybe add a little information on how to access each blog post at the top of the page?

Other wise it looks pretty good. =]

This is a huge issue that we're currently working on. [:

It's part of the plan to add a package builder similar to the Dell store. However, this is an extremely tricky part of the whole thing. I still need to get a better feel for our workflow before I can do per project pricing instead of hourly.

I've changed the theme, we soon plan on making our own design but it's a for now thing.


Thanks a ton for the input!!!!
Anytime. Keep up the good work. =]
I've reduced the header and logo size for now as a temporary fix! This should hold us off until we redesign and make more revision!

Awwww Yeeeaaaah.
Now lets see if you can get Tom&Co. to hire you and spruce up the website.
