Rip it to shreds...or not.
Need impressions, suggestions, critiques, etc. for a site I just published:
http://www.wheelsoffdesign.com
Is it clean, concise, and usable? Is there enough content? What kinds of questions would you have if you visited the site?
Thank you very much!

Very nice! I've had to spend serious some time to find *anything* to dislike on that page. =)
I'm not sure that I like the way that the navigation has been duplicated at the top and side of the page. It can be useful on long, long pages of text to duplicate navigation on the top and bottom of a page, but not on a site such as yours.
The top right side of your header ends in a flat edge, and thus has two sharp corners. All the other corners on your header are rounded - might be nice to round those two also.
Also, circular_logo.gif seems to be hanging in the middle of no where, below everything else on the page (atleast in the browser I'm using). It's a nice picture, it just needs to moved somewhere where it'll look better =)

The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that, you've got it made.

Why do you have duplicated buttons?
Overall, it looks great!

Very nice! I agree about having the navigation at the top and at the side. That can be confusing. It you want to have top nav and side nav, why don't you put home and contact on top and the rest on the side? Just a suggestion.
Great site!

1) I agree about having two navigation bars. I'd keep the one of the left side, and then maybe add your slogan to the part on the top where the second menu is.
2) Why not try using align="justify" for your text? I think that would look better then the default alignment.
3) The curved edges are a tiny bit jagged. Just need a little touch up.
4) The drop-shadows on the left navigation buttons are blurry and not very crisp. I think they would look better more crisp.
Not job overall...

The logo on the left nav bar. The .com blue part is unreadable. Just blends in with the background too much.
