Good day,
could you please review this website.

It's a site i built for an IT/Telecoms Consulting company.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to improve it - and also specific comments on what you consider its strongest points.

Thanks

    Oh, my ... not sure how to put this.

    I assume that you're not purusing business opportunities in the US, are you? If so, you should know that your domain name is probably going to raise a few eyebrows.

    In English (at least in the US), I think people are likely to read your URL as "strange nig." "Strange" is a word that can mean things like different, odd, unknown, and so forth. And "nig" could be construed as the shorter version of a racial epithet that is disparaging towards African Americans (or anyone who might be otherwise be described as "black") and is generally offensive.

    I know that you didn't mean for it to be this way, and if you're not trying to do business in the US, maybe it doesn't matter. But I thought you should know.

    Hi Tayo,

    Wow, I thought the same thing, I was actually afraid to open it thinking it would be as surprising as the non-porn, yet questionably porn site that we had posted a few weeks ago.

    It doesn't look like you are intending to do business in the USA but if you are you are going to have real problems with that URL.

    On another more direct note to your question, you need to change your non-Arial fonts, they don't look good at all.

    Also your light brown and blue font colors are hard to read, I would suggest you explore your entire font color palette in more depth.

    I hope that helps.
