    Great idea for a niche market where you can really excel! I like it!

    But maybe you could make that center banner (with all the people holding it) look a little more crisp? It looks very simplistic with just the different colors. I know it's what you're going for, but it doesn't match the rest of the design all that well.

    Good luck to you! It should be a great adventure!

    Really nice design, proffesional, crisp, clean.

    But the domain (99dollars24hours.com) might set you back in terms of customers. I'm only saying this because it's hard to remember numbers from past experience with domains.

    But otherwise, well done!

    If you can provide quality designs for such low rates, then that's already a good start ;)

    Lol, this is deffinatley no niche market, it is a market on the increase, very big increase, but it isn't a niche.

    On topic, the site looks great, but yeah, may be worth getting a name, earn some corporate identity then getting a good domain, domain for 10$ can get you more customers than your website.

    Very nice! I hope you guys do well...it's a neat concept. But it sounds like a lot of pressure to turn around work that fast!

    Nice portfolio too, btw.

    I think its a good idea, but the problem you face is justifying quality in that period of time. Graphic Designers are responsible for researching around the clients brief in addition to actually trying out different ideas and seeing what works - having 24 hours (bearing in mind you only work 8.30-5pm out of the 24) may portray a 'quick' job. Having said that, for simple jobs that need to be done quickly it looks like a great offer :)

    I like the flashy website, very cool although maybe poor on office and slow connections and browsers. Does it work on Linux? If you provide good quality images unlike my spelling then you should be fine.

    I use firefox so have to allow javascript to view your flash header. I always think flash is a bit unnecessary unless it serves and actual purpose. You designs are nice but I think there's too much white. Subtley changing the background a bit would make everything stand out a bit more. It is very nice and I'm only trying to be objective.
    Good luck and I hope it all goes well for you.

    Great Website, though I'm not sold on the Web Design service. Not everyone wants hosting, so your packages might offer some variations. You should show some examples of Website design, as I only saw print examples. Good luck!

    Your website looks great. :) However, your domain name needs some work. I'm not a big fan of numbers in general, but in this case, if I'm reading this correctly, 99 is your price and 24 is the number of hours.

    If your business takes off, which, based on your designs is a reasonable assumption ;), you're going to need a new domain name because you will have to raise your prices.

    That's a really long winded way of saying that you should pick a new domain name.
