Looking for some thoughts on this website.

http://www.proximitum.com

Any comments appreciated.

Not sure about the footer in Times, the text on the products and services page is very small and the girl with the headphones is annoying me already.

Other than that - yeah, I like it.

Nice logo,

possibly too much dropshadow, something I too am often guilty of.

Otherwise clean and simple.

Some of the text and background are of insufficient contrast to read easily.

Who is the site targetted at? Techies or businesses looking for help?

If it is the latter, I would not understand what you do and more importantly why I should want any of it.

How can you make a business more profitable?

Somewhere ther should be a laymans intro to what you offer.

thanks for your input...profitxchange all taken onboard thanks

The entire home page is made up of images and javascript - there is no text there at all ... all the text is contained as an image. You will not, sadly, get any search engine exposure for your home page. And, if, like approx 5-10% of web users, I had javascript switched off on my browser, I'd not be able to view your 'products & services' menu at all!

hiya,

why not get rid of the bar at the end of the page and instead have a thin grey/orange line replacing it where the footer details go below it? nice and simple always gives better impact.

I think the orange borders should go thinner..

- logo on left would be better

nice website

thanks

ps:
I didnt get a chance to look at how clean the code is and how it would be in terms of SEO

Some quick opinions, before the simpsons...

(1) There's at least one spelling mistake.

(2) It comes across to me as "us, us, us" rather than "you, you, you". That is to say, it talks a lot about your ogranisation in terms of your organisation, rather than in terms of the client.

(3) A lot of the writing is in "business speak". I doubt anyone reading it really knows what you mean by "cost efective service offerings". And I bet most don't know what "redundant failover" is either, or a lot of the terms you use.

It's hard to get people excited about using a service if they can't understand what that service is. So, I'd suggst re-writing it in simple everyday English.

(4) I don't know if it's the size of the writing, the font or the background (or the words used), but the writing on those 6 buttons is difficult for me to read. But, then again, I'm dyslexic so it may just be me!

(5) And most importantly, looking at the front page, I don't know what you do. I'd guess you're some sort of IT company.

1. Doesn't fit on the screen properly at 1024x768 and not at all at 800x600. Most people aim to cater for 800x600 as that is a very common min resolution.

2. Typos (middle box on right for example: "propse")

3. Your use of CSS creates some unpleasant spacing for me so the different bits of pictures and headings seem adrift in empty space.

4. Steve is right - this is all about you and not about the customer.

5. Moving from page to page the logo shifts around a bit.

6. er... no phone number? no thanks!

The feel of the design is nice apart from the glitches and typos though.

hope that helps
