    Please review my Web Design business' website, www.shaheenwebdesign.com I wanted a look that was professional, but I feel what I came up with is too boring. Thoughts?

    That is very simple site for the webdesign company. But I like it. One thing I want you to add to your site is the testimonials or satisfied customers list. That can bring you more business.

    Right, existing successful cases and satisfied customers are very convincing.
    About the site layout, you may check out some other web design sites for inspirations. No offense but it's really a bit boring at present. :)

    I like it. But with a design site, you want it more flashy, design some images to fill in tables and such. use some css. Maybe look up some css menu designs, and there isn't anything wrong with looking at other sites and layouts and getting idea's. Everyone does it. :)

    Keep up the good work dude!

    I would expect something a bit more creative for a web design website. Show your potential, creativity, and development skills.

    Try and showcase previous clients / work. Any potential clients will be looking to see what type of quality your company produces.

    Simple and clean, maybe you can add more images and a change in color scheme may work. But the layout is really good. Keep up the good work buddy!

    It is simple and clean but you can improve the header, navigation menus and the color theme as well

    Its good,but yes too simple...you should make it more appealing by adding images,your design samples etc as you are in website design business,your website should convey a msg that you can do different than the others...Good Luck. :)

    Thank you for all the replies. Guess I'll get back to work on it, trying to spice it up...

    I know I should add examples of previous clients, but I'm just starting up, so unfortunately I don;'t have previous clients to show examples of. Would it benefit me to create example (fake) sites and put those up instead? That still showcases what I can do then.

    You could make some layouts to put it down as clients for now, when looking for design, having testimonials and previous clients makes a big difference.

    Just don't go stealing any layouts or plagiarizing.
