Hi,

Your site took quite some time to load, it has alot of big images, i don't think the huge images are needed.

Also, the text for the navagation, it seems to be more of a "fun" font, i think you should consider using a professional font, such as Verdana. Why? Well, because you want to come across as a professional company.

Personally, i think the blue boxes are too bright, possibly too saturated, i don't think they go to well with the grey colour also.

I think the navagation should be higher up the page, and also the packages, like i said earlier, reduce the header, doing so will put the nav' and plans higher, after all, the plans are what you want the visitor to see.

The three images at the bottom, when together, seem to be wider than the actual site. Maybe reduce the width of the images to line them up.

Speaking of lining up the images, i notice you have your site in a table with a white border, but the packages and testimonials don't fill up the width of the table.

Hope you could understand that.

Rep appreciated.

Adrian

I like the colours, though a few improvements can be made I guess.

First thing that came to my eyes were the blank spaces between the header, the 3 boxes, and the lower-section. My suggestion would be keep the blank spaces but for the backgrounds of the boxes use Photoshop and add kind of a light drop-shadow effect so that it'd be kind of like that of http://www.yellowicon.com/ header.

I also think this site would be better with a pair of gradients on the side, just so that the boxes would look less "cut off".

Lastly if I were you I'd put JS rollovers on the buttons in the middle

Overall it looks professional I like the colours too
