I've added a quick footer; and gradients to the sidebar. are the gradients too much?

I've also widened it... alot... as a matter of fact it might be too much


edit::

Added pics, changed footer, changed title again
 
Not bad. Nice clean design. :thumbsup:

Although on the services table, you might want to add another row at the top that says what each column is. (e.g. Service, Description, Estimated Hours To Complete).
 
I want to add an analog clock to the top left in all the blue space... but I also kind of like it blank

It sounds dumb.. but that's kind of what I was going for. I dont want anything flashy .. It's not a site for the pics from my vacation; it needs to be professional looking.


therefore, I take your "no variation, your site is boring" comment as a compliment.


Thanks!

Not unless he has a high ranking, and even then it's like putting links to a brewery on a fine wine website. 😕
 
Good for a mid-to-late 90s home made website. However, as many have mentioned, it is much to dull. Make the site bigger (at least 800px, if not 1024px), seperate the info into more sections (or even more pages), add some color, and add more graphics in between the text. These changes alone will take the site to a new level.

Also, keep in mind that the last thing a visitor to your site wants to do is read through paragraphs of text. Highlight and bold the main points, and simplify everything else. Bullets and lists are good to use.
 
I know you have emphasized the 7s, but realize that it will still be a hurdle to overcome.

My name is Jon. I always have to register and redirect john@xxx.com because people never remember how to spell it. I wish I had a shorter domain name as mine is too long to roll off the tongue easily. A client's site is www.WhistlerResortandClub.com. People constantly want to use the & instead of and in the URL.

Recognize that you need to make it as easy as possible for your clients to find you. Esoteric spellings, now matter how emphasized, make it harder. (until you are big enough for it to be well known...)

The site is a good start, clean and simple - far too often ignored traits these days. But I would widen it - consider allowing your tables to use a % instead of a fixed # of pixels so that people on higher res monitor and lower too can see everything without side-scrolling.

Good luck.

Things I don't like:
I don't like the name... using numbers in place of letters is overdone and just becomes annoying.

I would suggest finding some way to make it fill the whole screen no matter what resolution. I run my desktop at 1024x768 and there's a bunch of wasted space of the right side... imagine how much wasted space there would be with someone running 1600x1200. (it's good that even someone running 640x480 can view it without side scrolling though)

Things I like:
I like the layout of the site though... very clean, easy to navigate.

Loads fast too... I can't stand flashy sites that may look good, but takes 4 or 5 seconds to fully load.

A title on the page would be nice too... right now mine just says "Mozilla Firefox."


Oh yeah... on the "About Us" page, the 7th paragraph has a space before the first word, just throws the alignment out of whack =)

*EDIT* 9th paragraph has the same problem 😀

yea i loaded it and i got more than 3/4+ of my browser window as dead empty space. not good.

then again, anyone who will pay to have ram installed probably isnt running 1600x1200 or anythying.

I am reminded of the second entry in this photoshop contest at fark. :laugh:
