anyone who took layout design courses knows that text should be towards the center... your text is right justified so you have all the blank space in the middle between your menu bar and text... justify it left itll look cleaner..

or you could move your menu to the right side... just my 2 cents

Colours & layout very nice BUT only one criticism you company logo/name is lost in the red artwork.

Maybe choose a different font, one more clear...... plus move the copyright info to the bottom it looks messy up top.

This is going to be somewhat harsh, but in all honesty it needs to be said if you are going to call yourself or group "web designers". The page fails to validate to even the lowest version of HTML. A saving grace is that the CSS does validate (not without some warnings though). With that said, anyone entering in the web design arena needs to have a firm grasp on valid HTML and XHTML along with CSS. If you are going to promote the visual impact over the underlying code, then you need to have a firm grasp on design techniques and rules (yes, there are rules to design), otherwise you will just be "polluting" the web.

Otherwise, I have to agree on the points the others have raised. Please take this as constructive criticism and not as an attack.

there is some work that can be done on it but it is a good start.. I am not to fond of the red on the top... I don't think red with a black back ground look professional by them selves but together they don't make your company look like they have alot of experience.

Yeah, I'm working on a new flash site with a few detailed actionscripts... just have to do the menu & content and it'll be complete. Also going to make a non-flash version of it for slower users, all in .cfm format. Should be nice, stay tuned.

If you want to go anywhere in the future of web design you will soon need to to learn when to and when not to use Flash. If a client wants a Flash-based web site, that's all well and good, but using Flash to present some of the core elements of your web design company's site (such as the navigation menu) is just plain wrong for so many reasons. For one, you lose a good portion of the accessibility your site might possibly have (unless you are a Flash wizard and can do what even professional Flash developers/designers have not been able to do), and you also lock out a large majority of your potential clientele.

There's nothing wrong with using Flash in areas where an image might have been used, but only if that image did not provide core functionality in the use of the site. Doing your logo image in Flash is fine, just make sure you provide an alternate image if Flash is unavailable.

Of course maybe all you care about is looks and "to hell" with making valid and accessible pages/sites, that seems to be a trend that continues on even though any web designer/developer with even a margin of experience now knows better.

Jesterzwild has been helping me out with my site and I suggest you follow his advice.

The most important aspect of web design is accessibility and the standards of the languages you use.

What good is a fancy flash site if only users w/ Flash MX and IE6 can see it?

If you really want to run a business off your site, than your main goal should be to make sure EVERYONE can see your site the way you intended.

Also, and I believe this hasn't been said before, if you say you're design styles include industrial, gaming, professional, etc....then a nice idea would be to create a version of your site (or at least the front page) in each of those styles. That way a potential client could get an idea of how you layout sites based on that style. I say this only because, if I was looking for a professional-type website, your current design would not go far towards my contracting your company.

Again, as jester said...constructive criticism.

PS - I recently learned this, so I'll pass it along to you guys. CSS is your friend and DIV holds a world of possibilities that TABLE can only dream of.
