Hey,
Just had a look through your site, and like userpk300, I'm not an expert but I at least will share my views.
First of all, a personal thing, I'm not a fan of the flash welcome message as the constant blip once it's complete is quite distracting whilst looking at the site.
Also I would make the navigation buttons at the top all the same size for consistency, and then just centre the text in them.
I also noticed you have a visitor counter on the bottom of the site, get rid of it - it's not very professional and totally irrelevant. Particularly as you will be able to track the statistics in more detail from the software with your web host.
General formatting looks a bit untidy. The placement of images seems a bit random and could benefit from looking a bit more intentional.
The only other thing, particularly on the 'contact us' page is the baby blue/ aqua colour is a bit in your face, which might be worth looking at.
I think the site overall looks good though. It's difficult because it will never suit everyone, and like I said these are just my initial thoughts as a user (albeit not necessarily the intended one)
Hope it helps

Hi,
I agree with some of the previous comments, i too am not a fan of flash welcome messages especially on a business website, and would probably rather see the banner as a static image. The logo also looks as if it is just thrown on to the background and would consider losing the white background so that it matched the background colour.
I also don't like the idea of the clock, computers have the current time in the task bar and so not sure it really needs to be there and certainly not so big. If you did want to include it maybe you could just display it beside the date at the top of the page and the same size as the date.
Other than that the site is easy to navigate and has a good layout.
Again these are just personal choices and opinions and we all have different ideas and preferences, however when it comes to business sites, i like to have the information that is neccessary, keep it simple, keep it clean and provide your visitors with exactly what they need, nothing more and nothing less.
Tony

Try to optimise your titles a bit more, especially your homepage.

It's bland.
I imagine you were going for the simple, clean look but it's just uninteresting.
Also, your logo links to itself - terrible design. Make it link-free or have the click send the user back to your homepage.
I'm viewing the text version of the site because I have flashblock installed on my browser. Not everyone does, but plenty of people do(basically anyone who knows what a web browser actually is and thus isn't using internet explorer). Just because I refuse to allow your site to send me flash doesn't mean I should have a bland, unappealing browsing experience.

I'm blunt when critiquing websites and ideas on this forum. The public won't sugar-coat their opinion about your offering, so there's no point in me doing so.

The seo seems really good! it was a bit boring but easy to use.
