Im going to shoot in the dark here and offer my feedback and a possible answer as to why no one else here has posted even though a good number have peaked at your site.

It loads ok on Cable..but it took like 3 seconds..so I can imagine it would be a slow one for dial up peoples and companies (like most) that dont have graphic intesive PC's.

lay out is decent, if not common... so people shouldnt get lost which is nice.

color scheme is there.. it work.

the only problem is that its look, design is pretty forgetable. hence why I believe no one has replied to this thread yet. it doesnt inspire much (in me at least) even though it has all the attributes I like. I most likely would not remember this one if I saw a competing site with less content/viability for what I need that had a brighter (read: Cheerier) look or feel to it.

I like it, don't get me wrong. I just wonder if it is a bit drab.

Good colors, loads slow for some reason...your images seemed optimized whole page under 70k..,so I am wondering what kind of server you are on?

I like your swirly thing. I might suggest some sample images of your latest projects to get people excited to see more.

Looks overall good to me.
The body looks kind of plain and could use some images.
If I just visited and didnt really read (most people dont) I wouldnt really know what it is. Something needs to speak to me and grab my attention WEBDESIGN!
Id take the top blue bar off and push the page to the top. IMO
Add some keywords for SEO and possibly a links page.
Add more content about designing, hosting or whatever to bring in more customers from the search engines.

Good luck

I'm on dial-up... Seems to take 12 - 17 seconds to load. I loads the menu at the top, and the main content page, but takes a while for the header image and side navigation.

The header image is very impressive. I think your design would appeal more if your website logo 'iZone' was in-corperated into that header image somehow... It seems blunt and just sits there. It's all a little blured. No big deal, I just think the logo would look really nice integrated to that header image behind it! :D This header seems to be the most appealing and recongising part of the website for catching the eye, so make the most of that.

There is something about the side navigation menu. Don't get me wrong, it's nice and everything, it just seems too 'plain' and 'different' once you finish admiring the header of the website! Perhaps some kind of nice section headers and or background could spice that side nav up?

As said above, you should put some 'sample' images of your latest progjects on the home page, to draw viewers attention to your work.

[InteractAsia]

it's up...on dialup here so it takes a while

 

[miika]

Doesn't work for me either/ This is exactly why if you do large pages you should provide somekind of alternative as well.... broadband and dialup versions!

This shows as the url:
http://www.thezones.longpot.ath.cx/izone/

Is the company name iZone or TheZones.. or what?

Just curious.

 

[iZone]

thezones

iZone is our webdesign company, we are in the process of developing thezones which be a set of sites covering different topics e.g. a surfing page, e-shop, community, humour, sport but thats a while away. The idea being each area is a zone ie iZone, OZone, EZone thats why the whole thing is called thezones.
