• On the portfolio section, the navigate to Prev/Next buttons on the individual project pages were hard for me to find at first. The height is so minimal that I had to stop and really read what the buttons said to know that that was the navigation.
• On the blog page, my focus keeps jumping from the date icon, to the right categories column, to the the intro image to each post. They all seem to be fighting for my attention and I don’t know where to look first.

But I like it – these are just my personal first impressions…

I like your new site, but honestly it doesn’t quite “grab me” like I kind of expected — not like the sites you design for your clients (such as ourselves!) do.

A few constructive comments: On a lot of pages, the type is way too small for optimum viewing on a monitor. While the contrast looks kind of sharp, I’d also eliminate the white type on the black background —- that is too difficult to read (especially in the smaller type sizes). And I’d switch to a sans serif font like Arial or Helvetica —- Times New Roman (or anything serif) isn’t working here, and also especially in the smaller type.

Ease of navigation seems OK. But on the Portfolio page, when I make a random selection, I see the items you’ve meant to highlight, but those you don’t want to call attention to (per the selection criteria) are still too visible —- they don’t screen back enough. (At least on my screen. That might be just a monitor thing.)

Also, what’s the “client login”, and do we have one of those??!!

Anyhoo, nice job! A few minor tweaks, and it’ll be top-notch!

P.S. Love your informative e-newsletters and blogs!
