    Nice looking site, I got a little confused though.

    When I first glanced at it I thought... Ah a Counterstrike site...

    Then when I started reading the content I found out it was an SEO site :)

    Well believe it or not, I do not want to advertise this site like I would a normal site that I want to market, so I gave it a gamey type look, so that really was the highest compliment that someone could give!!

    You hit the nail on the head for sure!!!!

    Thanks!!!

    I like the design of your site, it makes it a lot different than the usual SEO sites out there. Site loads fast and is easy to navigate.

    Nice way of thinking outside the box :)

    Its a cool site you have.. but I think my critics would do more help than pointing out the cool parts.. So here I'm giving a few critics..

    The links in the bottom-they are placed so near to the bottom and they look as if they are touching the border..I suggest you place it a little higher..

    Also, the fonts as mentioned by microbrain.. looks a little out of place..I would have used a different one-- may be "Lucida Grande','verdana'..'lucida console' and there are many more..you must know better than me..

    the font size is also a little bigger.. Nowadays.. 12px and 11px are most common I think so..

    There are a few differences between the homepage and other pages..eg..the border in your homepage i broken at the left site of the menu bar.. it's not so in other pages.. also the services page has no border image on its left..

    Lastly, the submission form in the services' page would look better if the inputs are aligned properly..(even without tables)..

    I hope my critics are useful to you and btw Good Luck to your new site..:)

    I would remove the "resource" link until you have resources posted. Most people want to see what type of information you have as an SEO firm. Without a working "resource" link, you seem not fully established. If you remove the link for now, people are less likely to miss it (imho).

    Intresting.. Well I hate how i can see the diamond plate background titling.. Drives me nuts. Also never use clip art if you are going for this kind of business.. (under port).. Also your "gif" that is used on the border.. Change the matte so it is a grey color like the background so it blends in better then the white that just sticks out in the corners. As a rule i try not to design with cross hairs due to looking like a gaming site or snipers. Also you need a techie look. Think about your target market. You are going after people who need you to fix there site for SEO not make it urban. Im not trying to come down hard just telling you what I see. I like the idea of your design just not for SEO.

    Well I know that this may sound weird but I am just putting the site up for a point of contact on the internet so that i am visible but I really do not want to have a site that draws alot of customers on the internet as they will be referred to the site to contact me from other people.

    I do agree with some of the design flaws and may consider taking some of your advice on that but I am going to keep the gaming look. When I get it finished and have all of the info intact as well as the blog finished then I will submit it for an updated review!!

    Pretty confusing huh??


    I really appreciate you being so thorough!!
