Hi

It's certainly an attractive and striking design although, as web designers I guess I'm a little disappointed that the site's done using tables and slicing rather than more modern techniques. The site is also very wide, horizontal scrollbars at anything less than 1030px wide.

Nowhere on the site does it say where you're based - as a client that would matter to me - although you can obviously have clients all over the world, stuff like timezones can make life harder. You should really have a contact address on there too (not just email).

If you're operating in the UK then you don't mention accessibility at all on your site (legal requirement in the UK for sites to be accessible).

You appear to be just starting out rather than have a big portfolio already - and everyone starts somewhere so don't be discouraged at all, it's just that I'd definitely look into using better, more accessible techniques for your site in the future.

BTW - your privacy page is currently connected to your index page.

Edit: I've re-read your text on your home-page, please don't take this the wrong way but it's very unclear what you're trying to say. It looks like a piece of text that's been translated into English using a automatic translator software. You need to spell out what you do in simple, clear language and avoid fancy-sounding "advertising-speak", phraseology or anything else. Don't try to sound clever, try to write something that's very easy to understand - otherwise you'll put people off.

I'd add to what Tailside said, you're very graphics heavy and all of the pages took ages to fully load, and I'm on broadband. Someone on dial-up is going to be waiting around quite a while to get the full page.

Welcome to Outfront. The website looks very nice, it's a clean and sturdy design. You seem to be a beginning web designer just like myself. I agree with anything that way said so far, especially about the use of more modern techniques.
