For some reason I feel the big fonts don't look good, that's the only thing I don't like.

I would switch the link mouse over back to the hand, the question mark doesn't really serve a purpose and can confuse the visitor. Looks good other then that minor thing, which doesn't matter that much overall.

thanks for looking... I've been planning on getting rid of the question mark. But I like it in some palces so i have to change the css tags on some pages.

Yes, the question mark is the first thing which sticks-out as being bad. The question mark should only really be used when a visitor is hovering over something which provides help, that is the meaning of the semantic Laughing out loud

The oversized fonts dont render very well on Windows IE, I'm sure a Mac would ant-aliase the text, but it doesn't look very good on PC I'm afraid Sad

Otherwise very nice, the only other suggestion I would have is to add some CSS animation to the logo, or just have the colour of the arrows change.

Yup I'm working on the Question mark.

I think Im going to change font on the whole site. Eras medium ITC just doesn't look right on everybodies screen. Probably just switch to Arial or some other common sans-serif.

What do mean by css animation?

Thanks for the input

It looks good. The only things I would suggest is changing the line that reads "Computer Service Orange County" to a tag phrase like "Providing Computer Related Services to Orange County", "Your Choice for Computer Services in Orange County" or something like that.

Also, in your logo, you may want to conside breaking up the two words solo and enterprises with a dot in between them. I think it would make it easier to read and remember your company name.

Ah, sorry that term doesn't make much sense - my fault Laughing out loud

What I meant was... Using css to swap to an animated gif on a mouse-rollover, or simply changing the colour of the arrows would look nice imo.

Eras is an uncommon font, not installed on everyones system, which may lead to these inconsistent aesthetic results you mentioned.

I switched all the cursors back to hands, and changed most of the font to Verdanda, arial, sans serif. And some of it to arial, sansserif when the verdanda was to wide. I think it looks much better now.

Home Page: Loose the arrows beside the text. The rest of images are sleek and techy, but the arrows look comical and out of place. Some of your text is too large and should be a smaller font. Use color or fonts (nice clean fonts that is) not giant size to set the text off. Your layout is very nice and the images work well.
Core pages: Chop, Chop and Chop some more. Your text is good, but long. Knock out some of the length with bulleted text. People won't read lengthy text even if it is good.
Shorten the length of the pages. Surfers don't scroll very much. The shorter you can make your pages the better.
