You are advertising web design services, you should do your own web design.

You may want to try to hit a specific niche/target demographic since you're a new business. Getting built into a community can help get the initial customer base. If you say that you are targeting everybody, its the same as targeting nobody.

Your pricing page is hard to read. Don't save images with text as jpg's (use PNG); I'm not sure why that is an image in the first place. You mention SEO as a service, that image is not SEO friendly.

I'm not seeing LLC / incorporation information anywhere, you may want to look into it. Should be under $200, more information : http://www.sos.state.tx.us/corp/related.shtml

For the Web Design business, you may want to watch F-ck You Pay Me, basically a successful designer who talks about the business aspects of design.

Purple and yellow is a pretty distinct color base that will offset some users. As is the aforementioned religious quote (add me to the camp that would go to the next vendor immediately). If you feel like you can loose customers on it, good for you. I would ask myself, what value does it gain by having it, what is its purpose? Again, this goes to the lack of demographic definition.

I am not a fan of the name, but that goes back to the customer base. You have a logo and you are not using it on your site, missing chances to build your brand.

Note: I am starting a development business (targeted at corporations/enterprises) and the above was simply what went through my head. It obviously may or may not apply...

If I was in need of a graphic artist, it wouldn't make a difference to me one way or another and the same applies before I was built up on faith.

Again, more power to you, I definitely respect it. And again, I'm not really proud of it, but as someone who hires freelance designers to do work on a regular basis - I wouldn't bother contacting you after seeing that unless you were either really, really talented or pretty damn good and also really cheap. Now you're on Clutchfans so of course I might contact you, but not if I was judging you out of the blue.

You're work is good but count me in the group that would look elsewhere after seeing the Bible quote.

Hey guys.

I wanted to rehash this old thread to just show what I have been working on the past couple months. Every one inspired me to get the website done bigger and better. So, Thank you for the constructive criticism. Of course the old website, if you saw it, was supposed to be temporary anyways but yall made it clear that my web own web project was something I needed to take care of
sooner rather than later.

Thanks CF!
Thoughts?

And of course, more of my shameless plug, if you ever need anything created, let me know, Ill be hanging around. The discount and donation to CF still holds!

Rush, I love the new design, great work and I hope you'll be successful with your business!

Yo, my dad also has his own graphic company. He designs business cards/post cards, makes signs and banners. Maybe yall can do some business together..
