    I like the overall color scheme you have worked with but from my first glance I am unsure of what you want me to know about your website / services.

    Home Page: Some of the most Effective agency sites are able to present their core values, elevator pitch, or services within 2 to 4 lines of H1 or H2 sizing.

    The main graphic is good but it loads separate from the css background so if a user is running slower internet or multiple windows image downloads in pieces.

    What is the main "Call-to-Action? Where do you want users to click to move to the next page on your site? Would recommend adding a very defined click thru button..

    My 2 cents - Feel free to contact me if you more feedback.

      You gave me some great things to think about Sean. I am really re-thinking the home page content now to see how I can get people to the different areas of the website like the portfolio and blog.

      The main image loads slowly because I am pre-loading some images from the portfolio. I need to figure out a way to load the main image first.

      Np, I find so many greatly designed websites don't call out the direction clearly where you want your visitors to go. For your case I would assume the portfolio or services is the next step in engaging a viewer.

      Thanks!
