web design cost?

As tsinc80697 has said, it's OK but doesn't leave much of a lasting impression, and there doesn't seem to be any reason/theme linking the design to the name.

The other thing that struck me when I first looked at the site, was that there are a few things which look like they're errors, but after looking closer, they're probably intentional e.g. the header image position, the selected menu item background not filling the green menu bar, the menu item text not being vertically centered within the green menu bar...

Overall, not too bad. Keep at it, and try to start reasoning why you're going to do something a certain way, not just do it because it looks nice.

Yeah, they are all niggly little things that are annoying me too. :p

They're on the hit list. ;)
 
personal preference but I dislike flash galleries. If it was my site i'd switch it to jquery with a gallery, much quick, loads instantly etc.

z3b3dy - well I think that's exactly the point, most of the web jobs we're seeing require far more skills previously unique to programming... just look at the new wave of websites, eg:

http://sumopaint.com/app/
http://animoto.com/
https://www.photoshop.com/express/landing.html
http://instacalc.com/
http://www.mybanktracker.com/

These require far more 'application-like' interfaces and that's where the consultancy comes in once you start talking around UI design, use cases, market research etc etc...

Certainly, whilst basic sites I've noticed becoming more and more accessible price-wise, the top end ranges have become even higher with £250k being a fairly frequent price level for serious web launches... It's becoming a big industry! ;)

I agree, I'm involved in the development of far more 'application-like' websites than pure websites these days. Yes it's a growing industry and one that I'm finding quite a refreshing change from just 'building' websites but even those p/h costs amaze me. I'm not in London any more so a bit out the loop it seems.
