    Clean & simple doesn't have to mean basic.

    Hi. The design is okay and I like the image at the top of the page. I also like the way it is laid out and the line underneath the navigation.

    However, I know you were trying to keep the design simple & clean but this doesn't have to mean basic. There are plenty of very high quality clean fonts out there that you could have used, such as in the top image and titles.

    Also personally I think the 'schedule an appointment' button is somewhat ugly. The extruded like gradient could be better; maybe try use a less subtle gradient and avoid the extruded look.

    Other the than this the layout is very well proportioned and looks very easy to manage & use. Keep it up.

      Thanks. Got any suggestions for "high quality clean fonts" I could have used?

    Language Flags not Drop down Input

    Oh come on, you can use there some nice flags icons, why drop down input? Because you have too many? If you use 16x16 pixel icons you have lots of space there!

    Align this Heading to the left!

    I will align this h2 to the left and the content under it....well I will get to that on the next note :)

    This content..well rearrange it!

    How rearrange? Easy one: First of all use some thumbs pictures in the front of the text and don't make them on 2 columns, just use 1 column of each! Simple list, because then you can align also the "Read More" which now is not align nicely!

    Here....Put a Picture!

    Put a Picture here above the text, and move the under! You have now an empty space which is Not Okay!
