Rip apart my Web Site... PLEASE!

OK,

Have been getting a lot of hits on my web site according to my stats, more than I was a year ago, but am still getting about the same volume of calls. I have made some changes to the site recently and was looking for some broad ranging feedback, good or bad. Please have a look see and if you would like to share some constructive ideas and or criticism, please feel free to do so.

Please keep in mind that I was not looking for a traditional "Cookie Cutter" business web site. I wanted it to be a pinch unconventional and say "Were serious but fun at the same time"... Please point out anything you think from your experience might be scaring prospective clients off. I'm wondering if the "About Us" page might be a wii over the top

BTW, although I am proficient at Flash, I have opted not include a ton of flash elements in my web site design by choice... OK Let er' rip!

Right of the Top of my Head (I didn't read other posts yet)
1st Look of Site, Use of Colours, Black & White (Classy)
Photos, Not too much text.


At first Visit of your Site I thought the

Weddings
Corporate & Events
etc,

On the Right of the Logo were just What you Did
I was unaware that they were Links (Didn't see the scrolling Text)
I didn't like this section for Links
Now after Clicking on all the Links Maybe having two in total
One for Weddings & the other for 'Other' Events

The About Us, Photo Gallery, etc, links need to be the full length of the words
not just the Radial Buttons.

No Home Link anywhere! I know that I can click on your Logo (Do Others)?

This will be as constructive and helpful as you will ever have:
Go to you local library and check out the book Don't Make Me Think! A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability by Steve Krug. Read the book. Apply the ideas and techniques in the book and then see if you get more calls. Or if you'd like I would be glad to do an online chat with you to help you out.
 
Sorry For Being Such A Bugger (No, NOT "Booger")

I just created a "NEW" website:

http://www.thevinylspinner.com

Tell me what you think...or not...whatever you like.

Thanks.

Important to note:

The background WILL remain BLACK...and the YOU page is staying; therefore, any mention of those things will entice my to shout, "LA-LA LA-LA LA-LA LA-LA," to myself in front of my monitor.
 
I'm glad you stuck with the black background, as the "green" really jumps off the page and grabs one's attention. :thumbsup:

I said I wasn't completely satisfied...

..but I am getting closer. Made some updates. Enhancements to images, strategically added some more images, etc. The main changes (what prompted the update) are the menu and content. Check it out here:

DJ Snap, May I offer some suggestions that I see which may help you in completing your design, please do not get offended, this is just constructive criticism from one professional designer to another.

a) lose the grey behind your logo, complexity makes things harder to read on web pages, more specifically users without high colors like us fortunate users.
b) Your photo which is below your text in the body is hard to view, even on a LCD screen, it makes it look like something got smeared on by accident. To me I'd remove it.
c) the reflection in the header takes away from the text above, I'd remove it.

And now moving to your other site:
http://www.websnapdesign.com/

a) Times new roman is too common of a font
b) The powered by isn't something that is needed. Unless your hosting provider says you have to. BTW I do hosting, and do not require clients to do that.

I understand you are still working on that site, if you need any help or pointers please let me know and I'll be glad to give my insight.

This is something that's always welcome, so I will never get offended.

This is something I have debated on a bunch. I might consider this being that you aren't the first to suggest it.
b) Your photo which is below your text in the body is hard to view, even on a LCD screen, it makes it look like something got smeared on by accident. To me I'd remove it.

Another one of those that I have debated and honestly decided to remove, just forgot to do it. I'm used to seeing it, so it just got overlooked.
c) the reflection in the header takes away from the text above, I'd remove it.

This I will have to constructively disagree with you on. I feel the reflection brings attention to the text which was the point because it contains our phone number.

There is no need to even begin to critique this site. I haven't purchased hosting yet. This page was free with the purchase of the domain. It's a template that is available through yahoo and all I did was fill in the text. This is nowhere near a design I would even work with. It was the best they had available at the time.
