    Needs a solid background, or something different.

    Nice clean easy to look at site. However, the background 'blocks' don't do it for me. The shadow under the rotating images could be a little more pronouced too. It kinda looks like a flaw in the background more than a shadow.

    I like the videos section. That is nice and clean, super easy. When you click on one, is it in a FancyBox or LightBox of some sort?

    The footer is good too. Nice use of the circle to complement the top nav.

      I added the background blocks as a reference to the blocks they use, i am going to try to lower the opacity a little bit more.

      In the videos section yes, the video will be displayed in a Lightbox style.

      Thanks for your comments

    Love the colors!

    Yay green!

    My only major concern is that the tile background is messing with your grid. Meaning, the fact that your content is well proportioned is lost because the tiles do not reflect the same geometry as your content grid.

    Perhaps try putting the content on another background, decrease the size of the tiles greatly, or remove them from the content areas and have a flat color.

    Love the logo, and elegance portrayed.

      Thanks for your comments, I updated the screenshot with some of the changes you mentioned, what do you think? Should I completely remove the tiles in the content area?.

      smaller is definitely better, but I personally think it looks more like plaid than it does tiles.

    The background

    The background, the check, doesnt look so nice. maybe have diagonal checks and more of gradient from top to bottom.

    Hi

    I like the look of it overall, but feel that it is a bit 'busy' for a company providing the services that it does.

    I would perhaps use less on the way of background imagery and also add some sort of call to action, such as a phone number or form.
