Nice and clean and easy navigation. :)

I love that the first thing u see on the entry page is "Professional Web Design
and Web Development Services" so I dont have to try to figure it out.

You probably havent finished brushing things up, but I notice the logo on top says... "New Jersey web design..." on the first page and "Professional web design..." on the others. Whichever you pick, it will look nice if it is the same on all pages.

Are you mainly targeting companies in NJ? That is my guess since you have it on the title, etc.

Good luck with the site!

I've got one other comment. I've been discussing it with friends online and we all agree...

You need to add one "weird or unusual" thing to your site. A weird picture, etc.

Your logo says . . . "empowering . . . with ingenuity" yet the name and site look standard. It looks very good as it is, but if you add just one thing unusual, it will tie in with the "ingenuity." You have a delicate balance because you cant make it too weird possibly or you will scare your target customer. Maybe if you even just added one little award ribbon at the top for something like "Bottini 2004 Award for Most Creative Web Design" referring to work you did. Get what I mean?

Overall though, I REALLY like your site as is!!!!!!

Peronally, I agree with Foxy about the borders on the little nav boxes. You can leave the images at the top and bottom, and just add a border on the left and right sides w/ CSS.

I'll let everyone decide.

Here is w/o the borders:

And....


Here is with the borders:

Which one does everyone like best?? I personally think w/o borders looks the best because it flows better. But i'm open to hear other opinions. I'm all ears! :D

The old is much better. The scrolling one flashes away before I had a chance to read it all!

Ok, here are a couple of things that others have not picked up on.

1. In your portfolio, try to make the images clickable, that is the first thing many people try to click.
2. It is my opinion that if I have to scroll 3 times on a 800x600 screen, than there is probably too much on that page. Give it a try on your site.
3. The adsense has got to go. Here is why: an image of prosperity projected to your client will win more of them over than you will gain by selling ads on your site. If you are offering alternative forms of income on your own site, they will see this as a sign that you are not making enough doing what you are supposed to be an expert at.

On the Plus side, I love your graphics, such as the header and the Free Price Quote graphic. I also like your menu system.

Thanks,

Pat
