    I am probably not the best to comment, learning too Smile

    I liked the general site but my instinct told me that your services pitch should be at the top of the home page and the slide show beneath that. Perhaps the slide show should be a tad smaller and captioned to illustrate the products rather than the people (perhaps some cropping).

    Anyway... that's what came.

    Hope it helps.

    PS, looking at your site helped me. I moved navigation to the top from the side. Thanks.

    Oh Well!

    I was a teenager. I raised four teenagers.

    What do I know?

    Thank you for your prompt response.  I agree the images could be cropped and the content can be switched some.  I will tool around a bit with it tommorow and see what I can do.  Thank you for your kind words, I look forward to hearing from you again.

    Sincerely;

    Scott Gordon

    The Slideshow on your home page is just taking up too much valuable real-estate, known as the topfold of the page

    One of the most important parts of your Web site is your Homepage and the most important part on your homepage is a topfold.

    The topfold section of a web page is the first part of the page they see before they have to scroll down. It is an old newspaper term that refers to the part of the newspaper that a customer could view/read while the paper was sitting on the counter. It always contained the big headline, an attention grabbing picture and story. You have only one of these elements. Pictures and that is not enough!

    You really don’t need those pictures that big! Reduce their size - add a Headline and include a story. You can get the headline and story from your about us page in that ‘What We Have to Offer’ section.

    The majority of webs surfers will do a quick scan of your homepage before they are convinced that your site is worth looking into. This means that you need to emphasize the high points of your company's services right away in the topfold section. You can add the details later in other sections. Here is a great example of one of the best homepages ever http://idealassignments.com/default.aspx

    Look at your Server Solution Page, there you did a really good job. Nicely layout and it enticed me to read further.  The only recommendation I have for that page and a few of your other pages, is add some white space in the write ups. Long paragraphs without much ‘white space’ is discouraging to read.

    Make paragraphs and put in empty lines between them. Break it up a little. Like adding a paragraph between the sentences of …reduce costs. – and - Simplify your IT …. Make sure to add a blank line between them. There are a couple of more places you can break-up the textual information.
