Visually, it looks nice. I'm not thrilled that it opens a new window when I enter the site though. And you have lots of coding errors. You might run the pages through a validator like http://validator.w3.org/

thanks for the info. i am also not happy that it opens in a new window. i am trying to figure the logo sizing and such and will probably have it open in its own window. that validator is cool.

Also might want to see how things look on other platforms and browsers. You have a couple overlapping issues...

Firefox on Mac looks like:

BTW.. besides that its very nice and easy to navigate

thanks. i definitely know the logo needs resizing.

Clean, direct, very solid work -- if you're trying to project an image into the higher end of the market, I think you've done that!

love it. I get a little nervous when things open in new windows but it turned out ok.

looks ok.. you forgot the annoying background music tho.. :lol:

Hah screw that validator. I've yet to enter a site that "passes"...

The site looks great on Win XP Firefox, by the way. Very nice. I'd prefer to see more contact information though...I have no idea where you're located based on that website. A phone number would be good too.

Looks great on XP IE7 as well (ducks from firefox users).

Minor thing, but the whole site is real nice and I would like it if the "enter site"/"enter blog" text was a bit more interesting/flowed with the intro page a little better.

Also, like someone already said, I'd definetly work on getting it to open in the same window... I kinda forget how to do that but I think its pretty simple.

Lastly, your site is really nice and definetly appeals to a higher end market. A lot of people here hate flash but I think it really works and gives you a professional look in this case.
