The look of the site I like overall, maybe a little too much red with the mostly red image on the left. One thing that caught my eye as not enjoyable was the font in the menu and the footer.
I liked the news area, althoguh there was a lot of blank space at the bottom.
The pop up, I don't know what it was since it was blocked, but not good on a professional site IMO.
Would be able to give better review once you have more content online.

tho the color
Cubik - Design Solutions for Small Businesses <= this part hurt my eyes id change it to something more darker but thats just my idea , very good. really impressed

I just went to the other address you added (http://cubik.i6networks.com), and pretty much same comments as for the other one.
On this page I do like the image on the left hand side a lot better. I agree with kaktuz about the color for the "Cubik - Design Solutions for Small Businesses", The cubik my eyes see easily, but the rest of it i have to focus to read.
I thought it was beauuuuutiful. I love the menu bar . . . that ever so subtle gradient works well with the red. Bringing the logo and menu items together is a nice touch and gives the site an immediate cohesiveness.
Even the pic ties in with the color scheme - classy!
The only criticism I have, and I always have at least one, is I'm not so sure the lime green accents "go". Have you experimented with other colors in that respect? Also (ok so there's 2 criticisms), the text boxes at the bottom need either more cellspace or padding or you need pad it out using CSS. I'm sure you knew that already though.
I'd buy from you

I agree with making the green text darker. The navigation, while interesting, is rather annoying with those popups. Over all the site is very well, and I like the color scheme. Very professional, and the news are fascinates me. The way the bar slides makes me go "wow, how did s/he do that?" (A politically correct "wow"!)
Bold... but beautiful. Maybe I will put this one to my favorites. The picture is very clean and nice. Colors are original. Maybe there should be "services" link there, I usually search for that when I want to know what an net company do.
Wow, nice color scheme. I like the small news scrollbar a lot, small, smooth and out of the way. Nice clean site, well done.
My first suggestion is that you should add a title I also think that the green text on white background and white text on green background is hard to read as is the white text on the red table background. Specifically the word "Collaboration". It isn't too bad, though. The font for the "development" and "collaboration" boxes is also a little close to the edge. 1 or 2 pixels of space between the text and the edge on the left side may look good, I think this was mentioned already but not sure.
I don't know if anyone else caught this, and I don't know if it is intentional, but the light green bar under the navigation bar is shorter in terms of width than the content area below and menu bar above. This is more noticeable on the right side.

Just call me the Simon Cowell of the Web Design world.
But seriously: The artwork - maybe minus that daft stock image of the woman laughing, which doesn't quite fit - is brilliant, your branding and logo will have a strong impression on a visitor, I like it a lot!
On the coding front I believe you need to change your entire way of looking at things, don't just grab the design out of Photoshop and throw the images together in a table - style it up! I keep referring people to this site because it truly is brilliant: http://www.csszengarden.com - would your site be affected this much just by changing the style sheet? Get into this site, see how it works and you're halfway to really enjoying your coding.
Start using XHTML and CSS, semantic markup, make sure your code can be validated by the W3C and - trust me - you'll really enjoy coding a site. Why anyone does it any other way is a complete mystery to me!

Before you do anything else though, make sure you validate: http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.ionutzp.home.ro/

I really like the color scheme as well as the rollovers...the news slider bar area has always been a fav of mine.
