    I like your site design... but the horizontal scrollbar that is shown in my browser is a bit annoying... you might consider reducing the left menu width or that big image width..

    Very nice layout and design. If I had to pick something to change, I would have to say the font size. Maybe I am getting old (ha), but I had to move closer to the monitor to read it.

    Thanks guys, i appreciate i would definitely fix up on the bottom scroll bar. Along with that also we are currently still editing the page.

    Do check out the portfolio of the designs too.

    Your site does look nice. It isn't 1024 x 768 friendly though. Right now, that is the most common browser resolution. I know, it sucks trying to code for every different resolution, but it just comes with the territory.

    Since this is a new page, you really should code it using a strict doctype. Try either Xhtml 1.0 strict or html 4.01 strict. Transitional doctypes are for old sites that are updating to the new standards. Since this is a new site, you should code it using the new standards.

    Once you switch to a strict doctype, you will probably have some HTML validation errors. Make sure that you clean them up. Switching to a strict doctype, and cleaning up validation errors will make your site much easier to maintain in the future with future browsers.

    I also recommend moving your CSS to an external file, and then linking to it there. This will also make your site much easier to maintain in the future. If you make a change to the CSS you only have to change it in one spot, instead of having to change the CSS on every page. It will also make your page more SEO friendly.

    Also, code like this:
    <font color="#FFFFFF"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
    Code (markup):
    can be taken care of in your CSS with code like this:
    
    .style1 {
    	font-size: 10px;
    	font-weight: bold;
            color:#ffffff;
            font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    }
    
    Code (markup):
    Once you add this to your CSS, you can completely remove the above HTML code. Thus, if you ever want to change your font style, or color, you just change your CSS (in the external file) and BAM! your entire site is updated.

    And one more thing, this line of code has completely conflicting styles.
    <td><font face="Trebuchet MS"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span class="style6">Web <span class="style36">Works</span></span></font></font></td>
    Code (markup):
    You are defining the font face twice (in fact, you should never define a font face anymore, it should be done with your CSS).

    You could also write the entire website with probably about 1/2 the code if you wanted.

    I hope it doesn't sound like I am being very critical of your site, I just really like the design and layout of your site, and everything in your portfolio. That means that you will probably get a lot of business, and you will save yourself a lot of time if you code the site with ease of maintenance built in right from the beginning.

    Let me know if you have any questions, or want clarification on any of this stuff.

    I like your design, just few things as a suggestion which might be wrong

    1. Resolution should be least 1024 x 768
    2. Back ground little bit soft
    3. make white font change to match with soft background
    4. Change of font by using multiple fonts of css or some other font

    Over all site is good, good luck

    nice design but not mind blowing. I thought the font was a bit small and the I think all of your titles and graphics should link to features rather than just those tiny arrows at the bottom.

    In short, nice, but not robust enough.

    The guy tumbling into the water instantly gives me the idea
    that you're a creative bunch of folks.

    The web designs look awesome - I especially love the frog one.
    Really, some unusual breathtaking work in the travel one.
    Looks like you guys do top notch work!

    The view gallery link isn't working for me for the art section.

    Hope that's helpful!

    Very nice design and I think its especially good that in your portfolio that the links bring up graphics that are big enough to see well.
