    Hi there,

    I have just completed my website for my new Personal Concierge business based in Melbourne, Australia - hoping to get some feedback from people on here re: the look of my site and any tips for making it better before I start promoting it to a larger extent to prospective clients.

    http://www.melbourneconcierge.com.au/index2.html

    Thanks in advance for any feedback,
    Rob.

    I like the flash in the website :) The over all layout looks very professional. My suggestion is to change the welcome text into an image (instead of a webstandard font because it looks "jaggy").

    Very good design....nice flash usage but do not keep the flash on all the pages ...keep that confined to the main page itself..Good luck mate

    Yeah, the flash was very cool :) I would centre it though, so that there is a black bit at the bottom - I would also be having a little bit of text somehow on the frontpage, because search engines don't pick up the info that you have written on this page ;)

    Well designed ... but keep flash to the into page
    Makes me feel like wanting to run away if I have to wait for the flash on every single page

    My problem would be with the music. it's repetitive and has nothing to add ... the design is good otherwise, sleek and well done :)

    Great design, but if the flash was to be used on all pages then you may want to consider adding something a little different just for a nice added touch. The repetitiveness was just a little annoying. Great flash work and the intro page was the best.

    I like the overall design. The problem I see is that there's not enough information on the site to get me motivated to call you. To me, it's unclear what you provide. I know you SAY what you provide, but I think it needs a clearer delineation of exactly what you can do that would be useful to the visitor.

    Also, a better description of what they get by subscribing to your e news would be helpful, maybe a zippier description to entice them to sign up.

    Just my thoughts.

    Nice use of flash, but the text lloks much smaller and the flash animation takes away from the content.
    Sound fx is too common. and although it's a good business idea, web site does not convey that message

    Nice design, I have never really been a fan of using flash for sites as it can take a while for it to load on slow connections.

    Hi - I'd agree - perhaps just keep the Flash on the intro page, but otherwise very nice design. Looks professional :)
