    I like that site. It's smart, it's professional and it is its own proof that it works. Well done.

    You don't need me to tell you that if you've chosen the right keywords to optimise on, you'll do well with that site. I particularly like the customer comments that you have put around the site. Very good.

    Hi Justin

    Before I go too deep, I have just one question...(AND PLEASE, do not get offended)

    Is this the best showcase site for your talents?

    It looks poor mate, I have seen sites like this thrown together in study classes in under 15 minutes. And IF you are going to market yourself as a designer...I would think again. B2B is dog eat dog, have a look around...you will see what I am saying,

    Sorry to be so blunt, but you did ask...

    Hi Justin

    I too am a website designer. I like your design, easy on the eye and easy to navigate. Nice colours too. Infact I have nothing bad to say about this site at all.

    Good work!

    Justin. I have to agree, (surprisingly ).

    Especially as I've just been going through your Portfolio. There's some great stuff in there! Your own site deserves the same, if not better!

    Cheers!

    Steady on Gary

    My point exactly, that is what got me confused. Some top rate stuff in the port but the main site....well, nuff said.

    Hi,

    + I quickly knew what is your business about
    + its has been easy to naviguate and learn more a couple of seconds later
    +/- the design is a bit shy, yet perfectly legible
    - fonts are too big (that, I'm conviced of)
    - menu is not sexy, easy to improve

    thx,

    Alex

    Nice to see some W3C valid work there.

    If I went to that website and you didn't offer design work, I'd be quite impressed, however for a web designer there isn't anything special that makes me think "Yeh, I want to get this guy to design my site"

    In general, nice site though.

    I think it lacks a wow factor. When looking for a web designer, you are looking for instant visual confirmation that this person can actually design. That means, cutting edge, smooth graphics, etc. Your site just would not make me look deeper.

    Thanks for your comments guys, am about to revamp / redesign the site and will certainly factor in all of your thoughts...
