Hi John,

Site reviewed: http://www.holmcomp.net
Viewed with a P133, 48kbps, 640x480 @24bit, MSIE 4.0.

Your navigation section did not come up, so I was not able to navigate
through your website.

Hmm, why the frames? Just my opinion, but frames in this case do not seem to
enhance the presentation of this website.

I like the HCS typesetting.

I'm a fan of animation--judiciously applied--but IMO, the animation should
rest for several seconds before starting up again; and there are those who
would tell you that it should only cycle a couple of times and then stop
completely (I don't agree with them). Why Flash? IMO, you could have created
a very similar effect using an animated GIF and in so doing, appealed to a
larger audience. Then again, you might just be employing  "browser sniffer"
script and I don't know what I'm talking about.  ;)

How about some images? Show us some Systems Engineers and Productivity
Specialists hard at work applying their trade. There's tons of stock
photography out there that you could buy and use and it would greatly
enhance the presentation here, IMO.

IMO, the Webmaster, Copyright and Modified sentences at the bottom could all
stand to be reduced a point or two. Also, IMO, put full contact info at the
bottom of the page, and all pages. You never know when a visitor will print
out your web page, put in on his or her desk and weeks later want to contact
the company only to forget the URL and how they ever got there.

That's all for now.

Best,
Demitrius >I<
