You've mis-spelled "proffesionalism" on your website, doesn't give a great first impression

Should be "professionalism"

Damn right! Times is only good for print, not website.

BTW, there is too much distraction in your website. That background image isn't a good idea. I think your old website is slightly better than the new one, IMHO.

Actually I like it. And I never claimed to be a real webdesigner. I Like your Icons adam I think there kind of hot. But your websites seems dull. I know mines is the greatest but that just shows ya that you dont need a formal edjucation in design. No disrespect.

I've seen more than 20 websites of "graphics" that look like yours ... so they start to give the impression of being created from a template.

Yeah I agree with you 100% (no irony there) but the problem is that most clients prefer something common and same. I even tried suggesting them to try something new but most of them are hard-headed. I designed something cool and unique then show it to my clients, they said "Looks cool but I prefer simple and similar design as our competitors". I only have two options; to accept their opinion or lose a client As more clients you get, the more frustrating you will get.

If you check our website again, you'll see several new websites design. The newest website design you see there, we have 100% control over it so it show a difference to all previous designs.

I have one question in my mind that need to be answered: Does Creativity and Business blend together well?

BTW, you don't have to worry about if you offend me or not because all Web/Graphic Designer are supposed to be open-minded. Just tell your honest opinion and I will tell mine too
