    Hi Alan,

    I like your clean and ordered design. The only ironic feeling is that everything in your design is boxed and this does not support your tagline 'thinking outside the box'

    Please find my usability remarks below:

    Keep up the good work.

    Cheers!

    Not obvious that this is your portfolio

    Probably because this element is not 'boxed' enough it blends with the website which gives the impression this is a part of design

    Move 'our work' link into the portfolio box

    I would suggest getting rid of this separate 'screaming' black bar and moving 'our work' button to the end od 1 2 3 4 5 section in the above portfolio box

    Move 'our work' here

    Remove this 'happy talk'

    this section tell nothing of real value

    Why is your Call To Action smaller than Twitter?

  • 6

    Bigger & darker font

    1 clever sentence should be enough. Something like: *Maintain and controll your own website & blog with minimum effort with our content management solutions.*

    Twitter

    I have hard time picturing your prospect clients following you on twitter? People are usually so data overloaded anyway.
