Your site is very easy ot navigate i agree and very simple but howerver on the top you have a flash or gif banner for easyforex, and you have them in your partner section already linked to thier site, why don't you come up with a good slogan and make it either flash, gif, or static and replace it there where the current banner is? there is no need for another advertisement to them if you have them already in eyes view.just a thought.

when navigating from page to page, something goes wrong, for example in your home page, the background is white (I mean behind the text) so then when I open testimonials, the text background color goes black, went back to home same thing happened, you should look on that mate, other wise everything is cool.

But another topic, you have some logos in the left side, they are not in the same positions in all pages, you should verify that as well I guess.

Cheers.

I also agree with the points above. You should centre your pages as well and also, when you click on the "Services" page, the transition is different than that of the other pages. Other than that, really cool site!

I agree with the above and suggest you look closely at all spelling and grammar. On the services page you have:

It's looking good - do the tweaking - you have a professional website - errors in spelling and grammar will hurt you tremdendously.

And work on better page titles and your meta keywords and meta descriptions - including spelling diverse correctly - but do NOT do as you have them now with the same meta on all the pages. And the titles are one of them most important seo items - you need to really tweak them for each page to help you.

Thanks folks and as I said before, I'm open to suggestions. One thing that I've noticed about building your own website, is that what you see on your own computer, will be diffrent on someone else's.

Indeed! The width of the screen makes so much difference if you have a 19" ! When I started the sites, I think the width of my page was at 1200! Side scrolling or what!

Hey folks:

I followed some suggestions, I centered it and made more compact. Take a look now.

Well now you done it i praised ya now i have to retract my praise now you have a inbox banner ad that just took away your site from my eyes, never place ads like that on top of your header not professional looking at all, remember you used the term KSS remember keep it with what your page is about if need be add a button or link to another page call it banner and let the people decide to look on the banner page for more details not on your main page also on your about us page you have this text on top CREATIVE FINANCIAL SPECIALISTS look at it it isn't lined correctly. will look again in a few days or weeks. but use your terms KSS.

You also never fixed your typographical errors - and for a professional site that is a MUST.

Not necessarily......using different browsers to "proof" your work eliminates a lot of back-tracking.

I personally appreciate simplicity in it's many forms, but I seem to think that you have a blended format: part is very techno and crisp, and part is basic and bland (the spelling, distorted pictures, and textual under-developments, etc.). This is to me the main issue in what I find incongruent, or even unsettling.......surely there is a way to "upgrade" the overall look into one that appears more cohesive??

Mr. Vasili:
Thank you for the feedback and yes I'm always looking for ways to improve my website, but I've been to your website looking for ideas. I'm impressed with your grammaticalness (yes it's in the dictionary) and the multimedia. But it does not help with the overall concept of your website. First, it's confusing to navigate. Also, how about the placement of three of the most powerful words in business terminologies. Vision, Innovation, Commitment. They are so small that they are barely legible. In the about company section, the more word is linked to a blank http. Under the Service section, the more links back to the intro page. In the Premier Solutions under the Innovative Success section, none of the links work. There plenty of other erros that I found. That's why I do not indulge myself in giving negative construcs because I'm about lifting people up instead of tearing them down. Your mastery of the English language is superb, and I applaude you for that, but humble yourself.
