Nice!  On your products list page, some thumbnails of the samples would look nicer and catch your eye more than a text link to view sample.

I like your site as it is concise and laid out well.  I would work a little on the presentation though and try to use some royalty free images/stock images rather than office clip art to 'dress' your site and look a little more professional.  The same with the WordArt, I would try and find some more creative and/or clearer fonts to promote a higher level image across the site.

 

The layout is nice and you present the information well.  Some of the headings are lost though as the font/size is around the same size and they do not stand out.  Maybe look to use the same font throughout and use bold headings or some graphical banners as headings (or images)

 

I agree with Sue, try to find some images for your products, either images of your brochures or photos of generic brochures/products - this will make your site more attractive and breaks up text on the page/across the site.

 

Hope this helps and good luck in your online adventures!

 

Chris

 I like most of the site..I think your pages could be a little more consistent though by making the font titles the same style. I really like the silver metallic one the best( think it's on your products page..NCC products?) . The site would flow better without the mixed up fonts when you open the next page imo. Also your NCC header logo looks off. First it's tipped downward so it looks like it's falling off the blue line, then it's on the right side of the heading so it looks like an afterthought. I would use the same silver font as the other ncc page and put it on the upper left of the heading, before the other text. If you want to make it not just square, you could make the ncc itself rounded or something but i don't like it tilted downward, maybe see if it looks ok tilted up or some other shape.

I like the fact that your site is fairly simple and straightforward, but as a businessperson thinking about using your services, I would want to know something about your background, experience, credentials. That’s especially the case in the realm of business consulting, which you list on your Home page as one of your core services but don’t really elaborate on anywhere as far as I can tell. So basically, why should I hire your firm over all of the other ones out there?

 

A couple other things:

 

1) On the Product List page, the first couple of View Sample links I tried didn’t work.

 

2) The fonts you’re using are sort of uninspired and, on the Friends page, a bit of a hodge-podge. I noticed the same thing on your sample Web site. For a company offering Web design services, I’d expect a more appealing and consistent presentation.

  

Anyway, there's my two cents worth.

I'm really new to all of this, but I really like the website.  It looked professional and neat.  It was easy for me to understand what you were offering and how to get your services.  In my humble opinion, it's great!

If you have a chance, please return the favor and give my site a glance or two.  Yours is done so well that I'd really appreciate any pointers you could give.

Thanks,

Lynnette
