    The microphone, calendar and telephone icons do not match. Also, the calendar and telephone are very widely used icons. I feel they look generic.

    The rest of the website is all flat colors which I prefer. i would try to find flat icons as well including the pie chart.

    Otherwise I think the page looks very well organized and professional.

    Thanks for the feedback. i vl try to put different icons.

    To eri Kireitchik: you can visit out sister site www.aviationmiddleeast.com targetting aviation industry. this site is solely for Airports. but aviationmiddleeast.com is for entire Aviation Industry.

    you can submit your profile there also.

    Hello, Mr. Abitha-

    The simplicity of the layout is good.

    The purpose of the site was not clear to me until I looked at the sister site. It appears that this is a data base allowing airport vendors to search and connect with each other. I would consider amending the tag line for this site accordingly.

    My suggestion is that you make the site more visitor focused. What will a visitor want to do on your site? The focal point for the page as it stands is "Welcome to Airports Middle East.com"-- this is a common Home page headline, but practically speaking, you are wasting the space stating the obvious. I would replace it will a callout such as "We Connect You With Buyers Across the Globe for Airport Products and Services" or "Airports Middle East: The World's Largest Buyer Market For Airport Products and Services."

    Next, tell the visitor how to access the database or explain how the site works.

    The other information you highlight with icons is only of secondary interest to your visitor. I agree with the earlier comments about the icons. They need to be distinctive and clear.

    Finally, I would simplify the language. Delete or edit jargon such as "platform." Also please have a native English speaker proof and edit before you go live.

    Good luck!

    There are many mistakes in your copy, such as: "...sector in the Middle East, the Airports Middle East.com will connect you [to]..." and "Persue the portal traffic".

    Hi, s_abitha_mca

    Your sister site is much cleaner. It's not perfect, but it looks professionally done.

    I can't say much about your design, because it's just an image, no navigation is available, but it feels like a work in progress, and looks far from something being polished. If you want more details, I can only say that teal is too bright to make it a background color and the logo... did you design the logo too?

    Good Luck!
