    Are you targetting people from English-speaking countries? Because you need to work on your website copy / even just the way you communicate. I'm not ragging on your language skills, but it might be a good idea to hire an English native to communicate with clients from English-speaking countries, as I find it quite difficult to understand you. Good luck!

    Thanks for suggestion, yes we working already with clients from US and CANADA. And also looking forward to gain some new ones as well. I generally deal with my clients and this is ok. On Second thought as far as the langauge is concern... are you pointing to writing style?

    It's the grammar, the syntax, and the style yes.

    I'm looking at the first paragraph of your website:

    Besides being grammatically incorrect (the sentences aren't really sentences), you use peculiar words and phrases that someone from an english-speaking country would not ususally use.

    I find your client testimonial a little strange as well:

    Also, I'm a little curious - why combine Indian Handicrafts and Webdesign into one website/service? They seem like two distinctly different markets. You might want to narrow your focus.

    Thanks for your precious advices, we work with two industry at the same time just under banner. Offering it enabled services + indian handicraft products.

    I respect your advices, and has already started to give shape to a new template for my website. Will try to have rich content for that.

    do you suggest anythings about "indian handicraft products section", should we have as a seprate subdomain/folder.. somthing like www.magicsolv.com/handicraft or handicraft.magicsolv.com

    thanks a lot

    No problem, Yes, I think you should have a seperate subdomain, maybe a seperate template/site. I just don't see how web services and handicrafts go together! I'm sure there are some people who would be interested in both, but generally they are two different markets. I would split up the services and focus on each one differently, targetting different demographies.
