Please critique

[cpond]

Hello all,
I have created a web development web site. I work full time but am looking for side work. I would appreciate a critique especially in regards to the content. Unfortunately, that seems like the most time consuming part. http://community.discountasp.net/emoticons/mad.gif

Anyways, I am not senstitive so don't hold back.. Site is http://www.spartansoft.net. Thanks a lot for your time!

It's certainly slick and fancy and the content is presented in a way that makes sense and is easy to digest.


Where you lose me is with the images. When I see those kind of stock photo business people I usually assume that the company is one person, and the pictures are there to make me believe otherwise. I understand what the photos are meant to convey, they just don't work for me. That's a personal preference of course, your mileage may vary. ;)


Overall though, the site is head and shoulders above the majority of the one-man designer/consultant sites I've seen, so you're ahead of the game there.

Some people prefer working with a single developer or a very small shop because the experience is more personal. You are generally going to be much more responsive and flexible than a large shop, where the customer is just one of many that need attention. That's a selling point that you can use to your advantage.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I am also torn about the images, I bought a template and that is the images it came with, I actually used far less of them then it came with. So I really can't take credit for all the look and feel althoughI did tweek it quite abit.

Its funny, some days I like them because they kind of potray my potential clients but then other times I dislike them for the same misleading comments you mentioned where I am trying to represent them as employees. Just hate to lose some potential clients due to the fact that actually am a one man show.

Thanks again..

I looked at your site briefly. The photos are not very diverse and therefore probably exclude many potential clients. Also, I noticed typos. Check your services page - Referral for one. Also check your Title Case in subtitles, they are inconsistent.That's what I noticed right away. I like the color scheme - it's very businesslike, nice effects on the navbar. But does the look truly represent YOU. It seems you are the business but you are stretching yourself a bit thin by representing yourself as a big company.
