What a great site. Very unique and I love your portfolio page. Here are 2 things I noticed.

on the Why Avail Virtual page ....., we pride our selves in fast turn-.... it should be ourselves

Also on helpful links, none of the links are linked anywhere.

Great logo and tag line/header. Great use of Artisteer to get elements into the theme. From a usability perspective - when a visitor is on a page other than the home page, it is hard to tell how to get back to home - although I knew to go to 'Welcome' under the about menu. The linked in link icon at the bottom is fuzzy.

Other than that, the colors are soothing and the copy is organized and clean.

Hope it helps...

I love your logo. Your website looks very nice, and I actually like the presentation and don't think it's too much at all. There were a couple things I found listed below:

There is a typo on presentation under #7 change your to you. On the Fees and Payment page under hourly fee guideline I would either bullet it or put a space between the two paragraphs. The presentation on your porfolio page appears to be blank or not working. On contact page change intrest to interest.

Hi Tiffany - most of my observations have already been brought up, but as a web developer I have to point out that by using images for text, you are cutting yourself short in the SEO department. You have some great keywords listed under your services, but because they are included in the image, they won't get picked up during web crawls.

Also, the grainy/fuzziness around the text and logo can be solved (most of the time) by saving the file as a higher resolution jpg file.

I would also suggest looking for a Drupal extension to support your portfolio that's hosted on your site's server and using that on your site, as opposed to the external image servers.

Hope this helps.

I appreciate the comments Rikki. With the services menu, I switched to a JPG image because when I had it set up as a table, the spacing would change between browsers and look rather funky. I agree, though, with you about SEO - I'd rather have it as text. Do you have any suggestions as to how I could fix that?

Thanks again for taking the time to review my site!

Your website looks great. Just a couple of things I noticed that I'd like to point out. In the "About Us" section your first sentence reads "...make a lasting impression on potential new clients as well as current clients." I would probably change it slightly to say "...make a lasting impression on new as well as current clients". So you're not using the word "clients" twice.
Also, in your "contact us" section it should read "Thanks for YOUR interest.." And since there is no address I'm not sure if it's necessary to have the St. Louis, MO unless you want clients to know where you are located. But to me the big gap between your email address and location makes it look like something is missing. That's just my opinion But overall the website looks great, I really like the graphics and colours.

I like the colors and the logo you created. Very nice.

The only thing I would modify would be the alignment of the menu vs the body text below it. I think it would look more balanced if the menu was indented to the same start location as the body text which appears lower on the pages.
