    Hi All

    IT-Globalized.com is a reasonably new online Freelancing Website. Thought I'd just put our hand out there and ask for some feedback on the design aspects of the website. We are considering re-vamping the homepage, and tuning the rest of the site slightly.

    I guess the following are my key questions I have:
    1. Do you get what the site is about in the first 5 seconds?
    2. If not, what do you think could be done to enable that?
    3. Any enhancements you might think of to convey the essence of the message below in the first 5 seconds of being on the site?
    4. Any general improvement suggestions?

    Oh, in case you don't get what the site is about; hahaha there's the concept in a nut-shell, I guess essentially what we try to convey in the first 5 seconds people visit the site:
    IT-Globalized.com exists to connect small and medium business outsourcing service providers regardless of locations, and assist them to develop a successful relationship, be it onshore or offshore, project work, contracts or permanent employment.

    Hey ITG!

    1) I got a good idea of what it was right away...but I'm also somewhat in the industry, so a lot of the vocabulary was familiar. I'm assuming your target market will be the same, so that's ok.
    2) N/A
    3) N/A
    4) The design feels too templatized to me (as a designer). Did you use a template or was it hand-made? I think maybe it's that main header image?

    Hi Smash

    Templatized, interesting comment, hehe - that's a first:D. Hehe, you should have seen the header before ;). There was a quite distinct feature we got rid of up there. I guess after that, it did sort of loose some of it's individuality, but we'll be sure to bring some of that back with the re-vamp. Thanks for your comments=).
