    First impression was that it was.. a lower brand cheap designs services (sorry) but the layout design needs to be cleaner and more elite. This is very important for your business because you want to portray a good image..

    Poor layout, especially if you are promoting yourself as a website designer and providing these type of services. Just ask yourself, would I buy services from this guy if his own website looks amateurish?

    I have tested numerous layouts... from high end elite designs. This one converts the highest I am just trying to push it further.

    My brand of an "amateurish" look was done purposely. You have to put yourself in the shoes of your demographic. If a design looks very clean and corporate, they will hit the back button because they immediately think the prices will be high.

    Some of the most profitable small design firms’ layouts are hideous but they are converting high and selling like crazy.

    From a designer’s point of view… your gut feeling would say a clean, flashy layout would work best. From my data this is incorrect.

    Sorry mate, I gotta agree. It does not look professional looking. I know your targetting lower end sites, but you can still do this with a good design.

    I have to agree with you...if I see a design firm with a really classy look I would prob hit the back button unless you put a price on the landing page, then I might stay if its low enough....

    I think you should change 'about' to 'home'

    Digital Point does not have an "elite" look but shawn is still banking. Pretty designs do not always work....

    Depend which angle you view this topic from, he has a reputation that precedes him, as for a suggestion go visit some css design sites and dont do r&d (rob an duplicate .... pun intended).... find some inspiration... find something your future market will connect with, its not your opinion but their opinion that matters.

    Just my 2 pennies... best of luck with the site...

    P.S. Dream big and plan big if you wanna be big.... or maybe its just in my life..
