New company website, thoughts?

Here's what the page looks like when removing most of the "width:" declarations. Not too bad considering that was all. :)

I also notice that the naming of your css classes is "breaking the rules". Lots of "margin-bottom20px" type naming. I think the oddest was "span-18" which only had "width: 560px".

Agree with the service buttons being out of place, it'd look a lot, lot neater if they were in line with the horizontal bar. Other than that, I really like the site!
 
I really like the top segment of the page (top nav, and full width scroller - some of the graphics used are really nice), but I can't say I'm a fan of the rest. There's a fair few bugs too from a quick click around, most noticeably the gradients on the 'roll down' elements (Web Design, Graphic Design, Branding) don't match with the rest of the bar, and also jut out (though I don't know if the 'jut' is intentional). The main page is far too busy IMO, and the carousel rotates/switches far too quickly - there's no time to digest what it's showing.

As I say, some really nice elements (particularly like the tractor image as silly as that sounds :p) - but some other things let it down.

really like it, but imo it's a very nearly out of style. what i mean by that is this design 2 years ago was really great and fresh, now to me it's getting old and will soon be an out of date style. still a good design just no longer unique.

Yeah, I'd agree with this. There are a lot of sites that use this layout.

Looks really good!

Although I dislike the Three service buttons.

Quite a few errors with validation but I think it's probably one or two which are then causing a cascade.

Apart from the gradients on the buttons (which as above was intended, though due to the reception they have got I might see what the design team reckons about redoing them :p), what else is buggy?

The carousel can be paused by hovering the mouse over, and can be navigated by the bullets at the bottom or the arrows on either side :)
 
Due to the feedback regarding the 3 main buttons on the homepage, we have altered the design a bit :)
 
Better, but I still think their gradient should match that of the background bar, OR be significantly different for it to not look like a mistake.
 
hehe :) also validates now too

adding some polls and more social media'ey interaction on blogs too at some point
 
Looks good but I did prefer the previous design! Much more unique and less blog like. Congrats though as it looks much much better than a lot of the tripe out there.
