    The hyperlink green is extremely difficult to see on the white background, with my monitor's resolution. The hover does a good enough job of counter-acting this, but ...

    Also, I expected http://overallpack.com/data/web-design-pack-mini.gif to be a link to the product page for the Mini Pack. It sure looks like an ad, but I can't click on it?

    Along with this, "* for 12 months" looks out of place. Since it's the same font size as the preceding text (in that the previously mentioned image), I would expect that it follows from the preceding text. Being a note, however, it doesn't flow smoothly. Drop the font size for this bit of text, and/or move it down.

    I'm not a fan of 'Soon', especially since so much of the navigation takes me there ;)

    Lastly, put some non-space spaces in the mailto link on the navigation

    mailto:info@overallpack.com?subject=Free Web Site Analyze
    Code (markup):
    becomes

    mailto:info@overallpack.com?subject=Free%20Web%20Site%20Analysis
    Code (markup):
    Otherwise, I like your general style, the fact that you're almost completely valid, and that you're to the point.

    Yes, its does not.
    I am thinking putting that information in my next update ( soon )
    but we are just team of freelancers, not company....

    Which adress should I put, or just to say that we are based in Novi Sad, Serbian and Montengro, to put phone number and bussines mail. ( ? ) I think that this will be fine, what do you think ?

    thanks on comment ! :)

    If you'll be creating a page where each team member has a blurb, and a photo, then that seems like the best place to put location information. If I'm around one of them, I'd probably be more interested in working with that particular individual, then someone further away (assuming all other things equal).

    Okay, I was thinking you were not, based upon your comment that "we are based in Novi Sad, Serbian and Montengro".

    I think every website company should have a portfolio. and designwise its clean, maybe a little dull...

    Good luck!

    Yes, folio is coming just after I finish few things on site. I will put recent project section.

    Little dull ? What do you think. How I can make it better ?

    You may want someone to review your copy for grammar and spelling - I ran into a couple of such mistakes (and I only work with editors and marketers). Example: http://overallpack.com/web-page-design/mini-pack.html

    "Everything is been custom designed and"

    "We have worked with many medium, small businesses and start up companies"

    "best suited to serve your current customers and attracts your target audience."

    You've also got validation problems stemming from, same page, <a name="vrh" id="content"></a> - vrh has already been declared nearer the top of the page.

    Also, http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://overallpack.com/contact.html

    Layout-wise, however, I think the greens work quite well. Review your second header, however. When I see underlined text I immediately think I can click on it for a link - not the case in your banner. I also wonder if you need such a large amount of space devoted to, usually from what I can tell, no more than a line of text.

    Again, the "soon" pages are a hassle, but if you're waiting on copy ...

    Lastly, http://overallpack.com/web-site-design-quote.html. I got to this page by clicking on a link saying I could get a Web site design quote, but this looks like the same generic contact us form. Given what I'm given, I'm not sure how much information you'd like / what questions you'd like answered. Do you want people to put in their story, or do you want to get that via a different means, such as by phone or messenger?

    Thanks for posting this on your original thread - would have missed it otherwise.

    Oh, yes, this is my very big problem, I have hired translator, but I am problem, etc. I don`t have time to write my copy.

    I know if I want to look pro (which I and my team is) I will need to fix this.

    Thanks! I didnt have time to look all pages, I will fix this with my first free time.

    I think that is very important for us to put this offer on big space, you are right for underlined text. But still I dont think that you see offer like this everyday on net, so I want to be big, we will keep until we can provide good work, when there are too many customers, I will put some ql photo :)


    The perfect is if future client contact me by phone, at the moment we have mobile phone of our team project manager, but soon if there is need there will be toll free phone for USA, and skype, I should probably put and MSN for example.

    I should probably put all this details on that page :)

    No problem ! Thank you for great reply !!! :)

    Hi

    Nice site. you used alt tags for links that is very nice way to increase traffic.

    you can look for web directories that has UK categories or list of webdesigners site. overture, google adsense is good too, yahoo uk website is also helpfull to get UK market.

    Good luck
