Great site, love the colour scheme. Thought you might like to know, tested your site in 3 browsers, Explorer, Firefox and Opera.
Opera has a slight problem with the dropdown menu on services as the list appears behind the latest news. Not too much of a problem though.
Just to repeat myself Great Site.

There isn't really too much we can do about it. The majority of our visitors are using firefox or IE so we're not too worried about it. :)

Also... we just redesigned the site a bit. We added a side column and redesigned the headers/footers :)

The body is nice, but I think you could do more with your header and footer.

On the header, I think you may have something with the mosaic template but what's with the <--webmaster forums--> thing on the top right? Also adjacent to that, you have a thin white stripe along the top of your site. I don't know if that was intended but it looks bad. Get rid of it.

Secondly, if you intend on keeping that more typefaced look for a logo, i'd suggest you decrease the total height of your banner. A lot of it is just taking up extra space; just blue squares that are getting repetative.

On the navbar, create some padding for your drop down menu, and float the links entirely to the left and the menu entirely to the right. Both seem a little "unsure" of their places.

-----

For your footer, section off the part with the ad, logo-repeat, etc. It'll provide easier direction for your guests arriving at the end of your page. Also, it might soften the empty look between your banner and your repeated logo a little.

Nice though: 8.5/10

Look Very Similar to this site, I like the use of Modules on the Left and the big Ad space in the top center

Looks like this one?? They're both PHPBB but in terms of "design" they look nothing alike. :P

Speaking of PHPBB - their site got hacked :evil:

Thanks though :)

Overall a nice site. My only problem is that I didn't find a link to oyour forum. You should make it easy for people to get to.

Can't find a link where? There is a link in the top and bottom navigation bars if you're talking about the main company homepage...

Hmmm, I think it's relatively easy to navigate as it is... Anyone else agree with Benf?
