Minor Problem on http://www.therealpbx.com 1 MINOR PROBLEM: Center the telephone number within its text box. 2 MINOR PROBLEM: Decrease the height of the white box on rollover in the main menu so it does not overlap telephone number text box on “About us” and “Contact us”. This problem shows up on the live web site. 3 MINOR PROBLEM: The white line under the blue bar at the top of the page is distracting. 4 SERIOUS PROBLEM: "Order now" button: 1) Increase the margin between the button and the rule on the right, even if it means making the button smaller, 2) Match the color saturation of the button with the blue boxes above.The color looks washed out when compared to the other blues on the page. This also applies to the “Request a call back” button on the live web site. 5 CRITICAL PROBLEM: Increase the font size and leading (CSS: line-spacing) in the body text. As it is now, the text is hard to read because it is a small font size with what looks like standard leading. There are few ways you can make a site more usable than to increase its legibility. 6 POSITIVE FEATURE: Well-chosen, consistent use of colors. 7 CRITICAL PROBLEM: There is a major disconnect between the header/slider and the body. The header/slider extends to 100% of the screen width, while the body is fixed width. Find a way to visually connect the two areas. Perhaps extend the body's margin up through the header/slider with shading or tinting.

First of all, let me apologize for everything being marked as a minor problem. There seems to be a glitch with the software right now that is changing the priority level of my comments. To get around this, I have manually indicated the priority level of each of the problems I have identified in all caps. I hope this will be clear for you. If not, let me know.
A critical problem on the live web site is the use of animated favicons, which are very distracting. Put simply, do you want your visitors to look at the favicons or the site's contents?
You have used a consistent, appropriate color palette. The exception is the "Order now" button, which looks a bit washed out.
The slider is very large, pushing the main content below the fold. My suggestion is to consider making it smaller.
There are a number of small alignment issues, some of which I have mentioned. In general, if items are intended to be aligned, make certain that their alignment is spot on. If items are not intended to be aligned, make certain that their alignment is far enough apart that there is no question that they are not aligned. "Near misses" really muddy a design. For example, the left edge of the "Search" box is close enough to the left edge that it looks like it might be aligned, but isn't quite.
Minor Problem on http://www.therealpbx.com 1 Should be better vertical centered. Critical Problem on http://www.therealpbx.com 1 The spacing is not big enough. 2 Line-height is too high and it would be better, if you use for the text a white shadow. 3 Check the alignment. 4 Spacing is not big enough and the line-height is too low. 5 Looks like something is broken. Minor Problem on http://www.therealpbx.com 1 try to stay more consistent with rounded corners 2 ugly button hahah, sorry for being so harsh Serious Problem on http://www.therealpbx.com 1 ...font needs to be changed Serious Problem on http://www.therealpbx.com/hosted-pbx.html 1 TOO MUCH TEXT ahh it's overwhelming me. Try to brainstorm some ways to make this section less monotonous Critical Problem on http://www.therealpbx.com 1 this looks...very VERY tacy here and especially in that black font..move it quickly Positive Feature on http://www.therealpbx.com 1 I love these buttons as well as the colour continuity they have with the rest of the theme. They fit the design style very well :) 2 the way the side bar lines up with that first blue box looks great, adds nice flow to the page! Positive Feature on http://www.therealpbx.com/pricing.html 1 really like this aside from the random pink :p New Idea on http://www.therealpbx.com 1 perhaps try to make the gradient fade to white so that it better accommodates the underline at the bottom 2 consider adding some bullet points here, could look good 3 consider placing this where the "call now" current is in the top right corner and putting the call now section right here Summary:
I think in general it's a very nice theme. However, some elements are conflicting in that some reflect modern design styles and some older styles. Personally, I think the colour scheme needs the most work; the shades of blue with the pink just isn't doing it for me. Try using this website for colour, it's very helpful :) http://kuler.adobe.com/
New Idea Work on CTA
I'd work on the CTA button. Blue is the dominant colour on the rest of the page. Try a green CTA button to make it stand out. It's pretty hard to understand what I'm actually ordering by clicking the button. Use the surrounding copy to elaborate.Summary:
Nice,attractive fonts used for header and buttons.Also colour is very impressive.Website looks smart.The image is bit looks too big.
Summary:
over all web site design is ok. Can be done much better.
Summary:
The ONLY thing I would change is the font in the four boxes on the bottom. Maybe just not italicized?
Summary:
Overall design looks great. But I think it would look better if the More buttons were centered with the larger text
Summary:
Make top navigation bit less than current, so the text should be displayed in one line
Summary:
Check the alignement for your titles you got some weird spaces ! You shoud verticaly align all you content to get it right. I wouldn't use "italic" for the main titles. Try to had more spaces in whole design it will be better i think ;)
Summary:
First of all, the branding! I don't know if it is possible to change the logo. It dosen't look proffesional. You are loosing credibility from the begining. Don't use italic for the main menu. You have your call to actions for contact (Chat now and Call now) very separately. Again, the typography for the four boxes is not clear to read. You are using a lot of differents type fonts. Your concept is perfect to work with 960grid, so align the boxes in a grid. And you need to move the ORDER NOW button within the first 600px from top (first screen scroll).
Minor Problem on http://www.therealpbx.com 1 Visibility of navigation Positive Feature on http://www.therealpbx.com 1 Love that kind of sliding menu.
