Re: Please now critique my own site...

Roger, it seems really flat. Orange type on blue, blue type on 
orange, etc. I found the first para on the welcome screen 
insulting: "who do not ... possess the ... ability to do so for 
themselves."

The mousovers work well, but I don't like the lavendar color that 
marks which page I'm on. Call it personal preference.

Contact page: the form loaded fine. The email link, grey on orange, 
is impossible to read unless I use my mouse to highlight it. Same 
with the "Silver" and "Silver Plus", and "Maintenance only" color 
combos.

I, as a customer, wouldn't care that you're a member of HWG--but I 
certainly don't want to see it on EVERY page.

Here's what I would suggest:

1. I think your first area of concentration should be your copy. For 
instance, "We might recommend a smaller, or a larger site but, 
whatever we recommend, it's your decision, as you are the client, not 
us, and it's you we provide a service for." makes sense (the second 
time through), but is cumbersome.

2. Address your design. It's unoriginal and the colors clash. (The 
clip art on the "how we do it" page is a terrific example of a bad 
combination.)

IE5.0, 1024x768, 32 bit color, win95, T1.

Good luck,
Susan
