Very nicely done and I'm delighted to see it validates. If I have any comments it would be about your contact page. You have a form based on formmail which is not the most secure of things. I would advise taking a look at Mike Cherim's accessible form which has 16 security features. You also seem to have no other contact method on there. I usually provide and obfuscated email address as well.

The other thing I notice is there is absolutely no other information available, no address, phone number, no privacy policy. In the UK that's now illegal, maybe it's OK where you are but I'd still do it. It gives your client more confidence if they know where you are and that they can call you if necessary.

looks glossy, professional and trustworthy.

wasn't a huge fan of the portfolio page though with the flash...maybe just put thumbnails with links to larger pictures or links to the actual websites.

would increase cred at least for me

Hi

I agree with Jesse - I much prefer the treatment you have on the Clients page to the flash portfolio (which is a bit blurry).

The nav tabs are off centre slightly which is disconcerting.

I'm not sure about the width - 900px fixed. It's such a simple layout that I'd be tempted to do it using either % or ems instead to give it some flexibility. Personally having scrollbars at 800px is irritating.

You're using XHTML 1.1 which is pointless as IE doesn't understand it and can sometimes choke on 1.1. Since it's served as text/html it would be safer and more correct to use XHTML 1.0 - serving 1.1 as text/html is incorrect.

As Jaybee said I'd add in a more accessible form - you're using a table to lay out the form plus you don't have any labels on the inputs.

You're keyword stuffing the alt attributes which is incorrect, and very annoying for people browsing without images.

I like the red postbox image but some of the other images are a bit cliched - especially the young business people images (might just be me saying that but you do see those images a lot!!)

Finally you've got a load of CSS rules inline inside the tags themselves which is a real no-no for efficient design.

Obviously you being in web design means us being very picky with the stuff we point out to you!


Edit: oops - didn't check - this is quite an old thread!

Don't forget the basics as well though - spell checking's always a good idea. [;)]
You've got a small typo on the "what we do" page:
