I think it looks great, you guys are really talented. I only noticed a few small things, and one big thing. Small ones first. I hate it when a site forces a link to open in a new window. All browsers have the capability to let the user open a link in a new window if they choose; I don't like having that choice taken away forcefully. Also, /images/pic.gif looks like standard stock photography. I hate stock photography too. I just think it looks very fake, probably 'cause it is . The last small thing is that the cell containing designpack.gif cuts into the background in a very conspicuous way; perhaps rounding the edges off would make it look better?
Which leads me to the big thing... All of the markup I looked at was done with HTML and tables instead of XHTML and CSS. There's tons of XHTML/CSS evangelism out there (and on this forum) so I won't rehash it, I'll just say that as far as I'm consider HTML/tables is obsolete. The king is dead. Long live the king.

The site comes up quickly and looks nice and clean -- as do the sites in the portfolio.
I think the writing could use some work. It could be tighter, and more active.

I would say if I may that it is a big mistake putting your portfolio in a web page. Anyone could go onto your site, click on one of your past client pages, File > Save and Voila! One 'premium' template for free!
I noticed though that in the template download they are all images.

First let me say, I really like your header/logo!
It makes me think of shattered glass. The little white bubbles by your name throw me off though. I think it's the drop shadow on them. They seem a little out of place. The colors in the header are terrific though.
I'd actually like to see those same colors carried into the footer and other elements of the page. You could use a different shade of the red hue you have in the header, but the pinkish color you have right now kind of clashes with it.
I think you might also want to have someone help you proofread your copy. It's very close, but you could do a little to make it easier for your audience to understand what you mean.
As far as the templates... some really great work there!
I have a tendancy to agree with heebiejeebieclu. You don't actually need to post the template itself (although you do have some cool roll-overs). It's perfectly acceptable to post pictures of the templates and explain what elements come with the templates.
My personal preference would be to make this a multiple page site with consistant navigation. That way you could have pages like "How we work", "Our portfolio", "Customized Plans", etc. I am not fond of the one page sites where everything opens in a new window. That might just be me, but it wouldn't inspire me to purchase a template.
I like what you've done so far, but I feel like you could go farther with this.
gotta finish redesigning my sites so I can show them again.

It's an excellent site, but the templates are available elsewhere & seen very common.
MORE IMPORTANTLY massive security flaw, you can just download the templates and images . I take it there not free ?
Also, your domain 'images' folder is exposed, I managed to browse the contents of your site through IE using standard known vulnarabilities.
You wanna sort this other than that, I like it!

Yeh, I mean no offence but your site looks really proffessional but on the technical side it really lets itself down. But that can be easily fixed, and at the end of it, you'll have one great website

Is it pronounced Urbiz, or Yurbiz?

I'm going to repeat what the others have said:
You're talented designers, but you need to work on your advertising copy.
Yep, it's possible to steal your ideas by downloading those samples.
