Constructive criticism on my web design site

    Hello,

    I am hoping to get some ideas on how I can make my website more user friendly and see what works well and what could do with a tweak.

    I currently have a very good conversion rate but want to see what I could do to increase this further.

    Any suggestions good and bad will be helpful.

    Thank you very much!

    My Web Design Site

    Nice. I've seen that template :). It's nice and user-friendly enough, but it just doesn't flow well for me (not your fault). It looks snazzy and the top links are user-friendly, but I feel lost as I go pass the fold. It just trails off.

    Also, I don't like is the smallish text. I like it a little bigger. That's just me, though. In fact, this is all my opinion.

    For what the site is for, I think it serves your purposes just fine :) and I'm glad it's working for you.

    To add more encouragement, I know web designers/developers who have made lots of money with sites that were horrible compared to yours. I've found that many small business customers just don't care about how bad a site looks.

    Yours looks good and so should your sales :)

    I like it, but the previous poster is right, the font is a little small :)

    for your service line, i feel that the most important thing is to highlight your portfolio which you have done in a pretty flashy way. good luck in sales!!! :)

    Another "web designer" that does not know how to code properly with XHTML 1.0 Transitional DOCTYPE.

    W3C Validator says: 1 Error, 1 warning(s)

    And this error is really pretty easy to solve.

    When using DOCTYPE XHTML there is no & allowed... must be &

    Yes, how about putting the portfolio slideshow on the homepage and having the sites pop-up when clicked on.
