Hey Guys, I just launched my new website. I just asking around for feedback. Please check it out if you have time and let me know

Hi, You must be excited. I know how much work goes into a redesign. Here are some things I noticed while browsing the site on a PC using Internet Explorer (yes, the nasty, unforgiving IE...the bane of Web Devs everwhere!!):

1. There is a problem with the placement of some text in your Contact Us forms (I attached a screenshot)
2. In the blog, the "Like This" gets stuck on "Like Loading"....kinda reminds me of a spaced out Valley Girl
3. When I click "Share This" I am just popped to the top of the page...and I can't really share anything.

Screenshots attached. Hope that's helpful!

One thing I would add is a "Book Services" button or "Request a Quote".

I have used this technique on tons of my sites with amazing success. It allows people to feel like they are actually buying something and it takes people from "information requesters" (contact us) to buyers faster. Most sites I create I let them buy right there. But your situation is a little different as you need to give a bid. People want immediate gratification, buy now!!! Let them give you all the info right away if they will.

For the booking page/request a quote page:

Make check boxes for what people want:

-Web Design

-Logo Design

-Graphic design

Make a place for them to upload suggestions or urls of sites they like or Pinterest pins for logo designs. All the things you need to make your life easier. Or that you already request. You can actually use it for every client, so you have a run down of just what they want. Refine it as you find out just what people want from the form.

It just takes the customer into your process faster and helps skip steps.

Also, I noticed on your navigation you should lump service types together. It is to much to look at quickly and immediately makes me want to look away.

I would use something more like (most popular first):

Design Services:

• Graphic Design
• Logo Design
• Web Design

Marketing Services:

• content writing
• social media marketing

You get the idea (with a bread crumb trail or hover to show other services). I know you may have put them all on the same services tab because of indexing, but they will all get indexed. Once indexed, the 'child pages' pages will make the 'parent page' Stronger.

Example:

Parent: Design Services

Child: Graphic Design -Logo Design-Web Design

The child pages are going to help build more relevance for your page "Design Services" because of your great "Child page" references about different kinds of design.

Hope that helps.

Visually it looks great!

I think this looks awesome! Really nice design, clear and easy to read content. Nice work!

The only thing I noticed was that the font you're using (is it Merriweather Sans?) is looking a little grainy in my Chrome: http://s4.postimg.org/xmgucmuel/merriweather.png

I'm using Version 36.0.1985.143 m. Appreciate this might be a stylistic thing, so if so, no worries!

I'm a real fan of the bootstrap responsive design, Looks great and will be good for any mobile traffic, you have already worked on improving your page speeds,

Really impressive, great work
