A few things i would change are:
I think the circle up top with your logo in it is a bit to dominating,
Make those drop-shadows smaller and sharper (not so soft),
Put some kind of content into those boxes on the left,
make a different background for those scrolling text boxes..the one now just repeats and makes it hard to read some text (as well as not looking professional).
You have somthing going... (looks like you have some clients ...NICE! ) Clients are always a good thing lol

Good start. Here are some suggestions:
- Lose ALL drop shadows and bevels. Just because you can make them, doesn't mean you should.
- What is the purpose of the three grey boxes to the left?
- If the foot is your logo, use it only once. Try finding something else for your menu icons. The key to creating a good brand is to a) only use the brand in small doses and b)don't repeat the font used in the logo everywhere.
- You need to get rid of the footprint background in the iframe. When the page is too long, the yellow frame and footprint are repeated.
- Too much compression in your images. There is quite alot of artifacting occuring.
Hope that helps

The text in your main text area seems to small to me. I would increase the size.

Hello,
If you all remember, I posted a site I did a few weeks ago and asked for feedback. Well, I re-did the whole site in Dreamweaver taking some of that feedback and putting it to use. I was hoping y'all would be so kind to give me some feedback on this one. It is through my ISP/FTP, and I would like to know how it all downloads, etc. Supposedly I have plenty of bandwith so that shouldn't be a concern like the last one was.
Thanks!

When I visit your website my first impression is that I get dizzy with so many frames that you have used. I cannot concentrate on the menu bar as well, maybe because of your buttons or their colour, I could not put my finger on it.
I think you coud clean it up a bit to make the layout simpler. The buttons should have the same font everywhere, size wise, and your "portfolio" button does not have it. There is a line that crosses your header and the logo as well which does nothing more than cluttering it.
If you would take out some of the useless elements from your layout your site will look better.
It is good that your site loads very fast and that you can navigate it easily.

One of the very first things I noticed:
"This means every goes away happy with a design that is completely original for your company"
Revising all your content should be priority. I like the colors. I don't see yellow used very often...I have read that yellow is hardest on the eyes; but yours...sort of a yellowish orange, looks nice.

DtRiCk: looks nice. My only comment would be the scrolling text boxes. As a personal preference, I just don't like them. Other than that I think it looks pretty good. The "strike-outs" when you roll over a link are semi-distracting but all-in-all the whole things works pretty well.
