    Hi there!

    What do you have now is a draft of a site. there are no eye-catchers to concentrate user's attention. I see only "Microsoft certified", as it has more contrast. Next, I can't imagine how will this site stretch and how will it look on 1920px width monitors. It is very agressive to force users to download a large wallpaper on a background of your site, when 98% of them came to get useful information. Third, put your logo on a top of page and remove "discover-experience-enjoy" slogan. They just do not identify your company.

    What should be done: Put some quality and bright icons to make 4 center blocks look more attractive. Make partner icon smaller (it is not right to earn your reputation under someones name) make text under menu shorter – people are not comfortable to read more then 5-6 words per string (you have around 25 of them in a line) try to imagine how this concept will look in a real life on 800×600 and 1920+ monitors. put some copyright info in footer

    Thank you for your attention :)

      thanks for your comment. The slogan is not my choice but a slogan established long time ago. Also i wasnt considering using a background but two images for top and bottom:P

    Why

    why is this here? is this an image? If so, google will probably end up ignoring the site, because it will see blank...

  • 2

    what's this for?

    I don't understand why there is floating text above the main nav...

  • 3

    Main Navigation

    Is fairly simple and doesn't really catch my eye, you want visitors to explore the site, not ignore it. Also there seems to be no 'on' state or 'hover' state... suggest also making fully across the screen and bigger

    About us?

    I assume that this will be on all pages? If so, I would say remove it, so it only shows up on about us page...

  • 5

    too much text

    In all honesty, these need to have images with 3 lines of text at the most and then a read more...

  • 6

    Alignment & spacing

    to me this looks really odd... I would move the content boxes to the middle of the page

  • 7

    Microsfot Partner

    Move this and the contact info to the footer

  • 8

    Logo

    This should be at the top of the page and smaller

  • 9

    Footer Navigation

    make the footer more prominent, this just looks like an after thought

    backround image

    wow... this is fairly un-imaginative, looks like XP wallpaper, try something different, just because you are a Microsoft partner doesn't mean you need to reflect their OS...
