Ok, I am not finished with my site yet... but I think I would like to have everyone's thoughts before I get too deep into it... My site test server is efoxiv.com I appreciate any type of feedback. FYI We are an engineering/manufacturing company that manufacturers Label Printer Applicators. Also, I am using ColdFusion for my server side coding, I would like your thoughts on that.

Visually the site is appealing, I like the color scheme. I don't know if its my computer but I get a 1 inch think striped line on the right side of the site and then just peach color right after that. ?? Otherwise it looks professional, uncluttered and direct to the point. Good luck, Melanie

You could give it a try and see how it looks, if you change it let me know and I'll take a look for you. Melanie

Yes, that's better. It flows more naturally on my screen. I'm not sure why my computer always makes peoples websites small instead of stretching them across the screen. ?? The site looks good, Good Luck with it. Melanie

Looks Good Robb, but the division on the contents is a little jumbled up, and the brown you used is too choco, the brown on the photo of the box would be much better, and use white for the other shades...

Nice layout and colours, although to much bold text, bold should be used for key words or heading, not paragraphs.
The red links on brown are hard on the old eyes, but the on hover is ok.

No idea what the flash thing is top left (no flash plugin) and the text is maybe a size to small, in firefox if i make text one size bigger it's good, just the top and side links become to big.

On some pages, like the resources page you have all that bold text again Sad but below you just have it for the headings, yet it needs a full stop or new line or something. "Member of trade associations Trade associations ..." doesn't make sense. Also the one under that "Integration and Training Does the company that..."

If people have hard time fighting with text and background colour what they sometimes do is edit/select all, which gives a dark blue background with white text.

I know there is some content that doesn't make sense... it is filler till I get a chance to actually write it. The flash thing is the upper left is a search bar (that right now is non functional)... I have now yet gotten to using CSS on form elements-- Or how to make a search bar for that matter...

Thanks for the reviews guys.

Failed validation, 39 errors
I just ran your home page through W3Cschool validation and you just had 39 errors...not that bad. Some seem like they would be fairly easy to fix. I don't use that codeing so I'm not sure about the other errors...but some just seem to be typo's. I also think the blankspace needs something there...maybe a logo or move the text and image up abit. I like your products page. I like the colors they compliment each other. I would make the font larger...easier to read.
