I like the layout and color scheme of your website. The header is a bit too plain for me though; the left-hand side looks quite barren. Adding even a company slogan or something like that would even things out.

One more thing, the headings of each paragraph within your website appear to be of a color very similar to that of your links. They are also bold and underlined. This may confuse some less web-savvy customers (the headings appear to be links). I generally refrain from underlining anything that is not a link.

The color scheme is very neutral which makes images look nice. The web page design does not fill the screen at a higher resolution. The buttons do not change appearance when hovered over or pressed and they do not have alt attributes for text browsers.

The buttons do not have to be an image map. Simply make an image link by surrounding each image with its corresponding A HREF. This will help search engines and text browsers. Another reminder to include alt attributes for images.

The contact page has a form requesting info, but no contact info aside from the email or messaging links. The company name, address, phone number, email address, and business hours should be here. The about us info does not have a general business description, but has some personal info about each programmer.

There is no links page to exchange links. This is not necessary, but it is helpful for search engines to visit and revisit your website as they follow incoming links to your site and outgoing links to others. Exchange links with sites that have a similar target audience.

The design feels like a template and not very unique. But the site is easy to read and navigate. Try editing your title and meta tags BEFORE submitting to search engines. Your descriptions must be less like a sales pitch and more informative.

The website is nice as is. But there is alot of competition, so you want your website to be more than nice.

Yes Spice it up a bit. Make it better than some of the sites you have created. Your clients may judge you by your cover
