She is beautiful! LOL.

Great site. Only quibble is the links within your site on the top bar. Not sure if the white links stand out enough.

Also, cut down on the text under 'services' add an image in there or something. People's concentration span on the web is soooo small.

Oh, and links within text are not obvious. I missed the "contact us" link as it is the same color as the text, and not underlined. This, I'm sure does not adhere to the usability guidelines you flag on your main page

It's nice, clean & simple but too grey. Needs some colour and for some reason the portfolio page takes forever to load and I have adsl. One the contact page the picture of the woman starts to repeat underneath the full image which looks odd. Still waiting for the portfolio page to open.................. I see it's flash, still waiting..........You really need a preloader to explain what's coming up...........how big is the flash file?...............this is either not working or I say scrap it. I've given up on it and I'll try that bit later.

I just zipped by the portfolio page assuming that it was yet to be built. After reading the above, I went back....

I see that the page never fully loads but I don't even get any indication that I'm supposed to be waiting on something.

The rest of the site looks ok but after a very promising main page, the rest seems a little lacklustre.

I definitely agree that more colour contrast is needed - even if you can go darker with some of the greys. The main problem I find is that the logo and navigation menu do not stand out enough. The navbar should be dark grey, not white, to make it stand out more agaist the light grey background. The logo should be bigger - maybe with a hint of colour to it or something.

I also agree about the portfolio - that is a major problem.

Other than that it looks very good - nice clean lines.

In NS4.7 the face background tiles, no worries thou, I get to see those baby blues 7 1/2 times Seems every page has teh tiling affect, a way around this if your worried is to use a transparent gif as a background for these cells with main background in main table.

on the contact page the mid table is to high, making the background repeat in IE5 and Opera6, the mid section looks a kind of pink color in IE.

The portfolio page in Opera. the right side of the tables that hold the flash isnt showing (either is the flash on any browser).

make make the "poom design" into a logo or something, just something to add a bit of omph to it.
apart from that its a good looking site/layout

I agree about the Portfolio page. Takes forever. Also the point about the white navigation links. It sh...s me when I can't read script because the colour contrasts are too pale. The site does seems a bit empty as well. Could do with some more info or features. Finally, I'm very sus about websites that don't give any contact details and the only contact option is a form. Pleeeeease add a phone number, emaail, address (mail box at least) some idea of the country, city etc. It's like you're trying to hide from people. By the way she is a babe ;)and certification adds some credibility. General design is original too.

You need contact information at the bottom of every page (usability). The tiling of the giant woman is disconcerting too. Could you maybe place her on the top of the table and tile the texure underneath her so the bottom of the table just had the texture, and not her eyeballs again?

The site graphics I can't fault at all. On the portfolio page it asks you to download flash if you haven't got it. Perhaps you should make a flash and non flash site if you are going to use flash on your site.
