Hi. If you're promoting yourself as a website designer, I would like to see a more dynamic site. If I'm a business owner looking for a great designer, I would like to say "WOW, I wonder what this guy can do for me?" Your site is too "run-of-the-mill" for my tastes.

What specifcally would you change? Scrap the idea?

 

[zipman]

Hi. I woudn't scrap it. . . just revamp it.
The first thing I would do is design a logo for your company. The company name lends itself to a lot of possibilities. The logo can be carried through to each page and give you name/brand recognition.
2nd, I'd create a spash page that introduces your company (in a brief way) and have links to the various areas - design, hosting, about us, etc.
Your current main page could be used as an "about us" page within the site. (On my browser, your animated banner is partly covered by the boxes below, by the way).
I'm just throwing ideas out. But I think if you want to sell "design" you should show it in your own site.

I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for the information! Really helps me make sense of things.

The only question I have is, how would I integrate a good logo into that layout?

 

[zipman]

On your current page, I'd place it within the banner. Each of those banner images has room for a logo beside the text.
Your splash page can have a larger version of it, and smaller versions at the top of each page and/or within the banner.

So you mean integrate it into the images in the java rotator?

 

[zipman]

I assume you can access those images and edit them?

Come up with a nice clean looking logo and place it there.
That's what I would do anyway.

Well yeah, the rotator just calls each image one at a time.

its pretty good i like simple for some reason the image that at the top of the body of the page seems out of place maybe its just too small i dont really know it just doesnt seem to fit right there

You are offering web design and hosting right?

For a web hosting site, it's ok. But for a company offering a web design service, your website should be really impressive.
