The color chart is real pretty. I really like it. The global design seems nice included the other reviews.
But my main concern is about the message you're trying to deliver with it. Don't get me wrong, this layout could be just fine, but if you want a constructive review, I'd say that it took me too long to understand the purpose of projekt19 : sure they got a nice site, but what do they do ?!
Let's start by your navigation bar, what is work ? The dev knows it, people working knows, but what about the average client ? Maybe using a term like "portfolio" [or else] could be clearer ? It doesn't for me. The work is artist stuff, name it accordingly...
The same goes for the opening quote "Your business. ..." What part of it ? The whole is well written, but does it clearly pinpoint what is it you do ? (except from the flash gallery of sites images, I wouldn't know)
There is something that is itches me, it's the scale of your elements. The opening quote, the flash gallery, the Buttons Which is more important ? If people go on your website knowing what Projekt19 is, they just need the "Request a quote" button. If a potential client gets there by googling, he already see the work with the gallery, why add a button if he could simply click the gallery ? You should rescale those buttons You want people to click on the Request a quote one, make it visible, make it big !
Where are your affiliation with FB, Twit, Buzz, etc. ? If you are "keen on integrating social media strategies ..", it should be relevant at first sight, no ?
TLDR, text is too long, didn't read it. Client view: I don't care about your hosting plan, I want a website design, why show hosting stuff to me ? Why not make a tabbed layout "Design services" where you name all your offers ? Clicking on a tab gets you that short text + you'd have space for a little image to accompany it.
On your gallery page, when you click an image, you get to a specific page. That is not the behavior I was expecting. I thought I'd see a "lightbox" with a bigger view of the image. The specific page is really good, in fact, it should be used AS a lightbox. You should had a short notice "click to see detailed of site", as said, it's not a "gallery", it's a detailed portfolio.
I wish you the best. Hope this can help you and feel free to not care about my review if you dont feel ok with it.

Thanks very much for your critique David... I like your feedback based on simple client point of view...
The home page needs some work, I like the idea of changing Work to something more defining. I also like the services page, we are planning on making this page more dynamic, and not so lengthy.. You simple ideas will go a long way - adding instructions on the portfolio section will really help users understand how those pages work. Integration of social media will be done, we weren't sure if it was necessary to add it to the home page, we have utilized the sidebar to hold the majority of our social media integration.
