All in all, looks good.

1. Topmost right, the login links (customer portal, pay now) are too small, not prominient enough.

2. Some font is too thin to read easily, and you use it, like, everywhere. Examples: Home, IT Services (top), Storage, Sharepoint (middle - these are especially bad because there is not enough contrast to background for this thin a font). Also all the bottom Lorem Ipsum text, again not enough contrast. Either you need black on white, or a bolder font.

3. In a message area, upper right, consider dropping "Subject". Do you really need it?

4. Under a map, Nationwide reach, Peace Of Mind, look too much like buttons. Are they actually clickable?

1. Topmost right, the login links (customer portal, pay now) are too small, not prominient enough.

Not sure I agree here - assuming the "customer portal" goes to the same place as the "Client Services Login", then I wouldn't be too worried about it.

2. Some font is too thin to read easily, and you use it, like, everywhere. Examples: Home, IT Services (top), Storage, Sharepoint (middle - these are especially bad because there is not enough contrast to background for this thin a font). Also all the bottom Lorem Ipsum text, again not enough contrast. Either you need black on white, or a bolder font.

Disagree. I think the thin font is perfectly readable, and the black-on-green is OK - though I would consider not having the gradient end up so dark, as the bottom (where it becomes darker) does get a bit harder to read.

3. In a message area, upper right, consider dropping "Subject". Do you really need it?

Agree with this one.

4. Under a map, Nationwide reach, Peace Of Mind, look too much like buttons. Are they actually clickable?

Again, agreed.

One thing, I couldn't find a link to a contacts page. I understand you have most (if not all) the details a customer is likely to need on the homepage, but one of the first pages a lot of people will go is the contacts page.

All-in-all, it looks good

Thanks, I'll definitely put this to good use.........

I'm not sure what "Case Studies" is. Seems like it's out of place? So does Pay for Service.

The "Why Choose ALL IT" the quote "To improve our productivity and better serve out customers." seems that would be belong under a "Why did you choose ALL IT?"

The logos for satisified clients, their backgrounds don't match the pages background, they seem more white.

First off, great website. I like it, and it does what it needs to. That's my honesty, and now for the harsh part.

• The All IT logo's text seems to have a problem with "white-space". All is too close to the logo, and IT is too far away from ALL.
• There is zero contrast to divide the "customer portal | pay now | join our team" area. Make the spacers a darker color, also, change the font color of the links from #fff, to #ddd, and the hover color to #fff, watch the difference happen instantly.
• Another problem with the "customer portal | pay now | join our team" area, well two actually, CAPITALIZATION, and spacing. Give caps to the first of every letter, it gives a more professional look, even though it's grammatically incorrect. Also, give a little more spacing between the spacers.
• Obviously you know this, but the website is just an image, the featured content slider doesn't work
• The black text, too black take if from #000 to #444, it's much cleaner...well except the bold text. Leave that black...and the text in the green area.
• Speaking of which, the text in the green area? yeah, give that a text-shadow of 1px dropped down to the bottom-right corner. Not white, but just a couple shades lighter than the green the text is sitting on top of. This includes the little headers.
• The copyright needs white text on one side, and green on the other. Gives a better look and can potentially "brand" the site with the Green-Orange-Contrast theme.

There you go, that's my honest, harsh opinions. This is coming from a guy who used to design websites for a living as well.

Lime Green & Orange can go very well together if done right. (Nickelodeon comes to mind)

I still insist that the lower Lorem Ipsum text is difficult to read.
Might be OK if your eyesight is 100% good, but mine sadly isn't, so I feel my eyes strained trying to read that.
If you want to verify, ask someone who is in their fifties.

Overall the website looks great. The only thing I see that isnt listed by others is where you have the words "it" those should be capitialized "IT".

Here's basically the final version What do you guys think?

Looks good though this does look like a template i have seen before.

 

[MobileTechie]

Looks professional and slick, gets the sales information over, divides the different subject/function areas up cleverly. That's nice a site.

Looks good though this does look like a template i have seen before.

I think its definitely from a joomla template.........its a joomla site.....I know I am fairly limited because of that, plus I have to take more care not to gunk it up SEO-wise but editing the content quickly is worth it.

Thanks for the input
