It's empty. I don't see what's to comment on, really. Without any content, it's difficult to say how good any of it is. It's a bit like critiquing a novel with only blank pages. Wink

I suppose you want feedback as you develop the layouts further -- this is better done in Concept, Layout and Graphic Design, so I'm moving it here.

First thing to do: put some content on. Smiling

I totally disagree with this. There is a lot that can be said at the concept stages - and best to get it now before it's too late to make changes.

This is really dark and bland looking. IMO it's not suitable at all for a web design business site. The blue and grey colour scheme is SO common and boring. The title is completely unoriginal and doesn't provide a unique look and feel for your business. The current template design you have is much better (although still not appropriate as I have commented previously).

The boxy layout is another problem with this design - all I see here is boxes. this could be a PHP Nuke site (ugh!). Something like this is not going to convince a client that they should hire you.
