The site is very nicely designed though you have used a few too many <br />s for layout when you really should be using CSS

There were a few niggles for me....

your "contact us" link is titled feedback... I assumed that this was going to be testimonials rather or people wanting to say "nice site" rather than actually contacting you for a quote.

Some elements (eg the About Price on the services page) are serious miss aligned when viewing in firefox

Resources.... firstly your first link is incorrect... secondly... why on earth are you pushing your potential clients to other designers? But if your going to be doing so you can always add a link to our site there too

News... when I see news items which end in .... I expect there to be a link to jump to that particular news item rather than a separate link to jump to an overall news page which even then doesnt have a specific link to the one news artical I want to be reading.

I am sorry, but I find it very hard to read even your front page due to the poor use of English. I will give you a few examples:

"Our design team will create cool custom icons for you with top quality and less money. No one else could do the job like what we do."

"Final logo will be provided in any file format you need (.cdr, .ai, .eps, .tif, .jpg, .gif etc.) and copyright of the logo is belonged to you."

"if you have any question,"

Also constant use of we'll and we've is a problem for me.

I apologise if this offends but it would put me off dealing with you.

Jim

Jim's 100% right. If English isn't your first language, you should try and find a copy writer who can write with the flair your website needs.

But on the positive, it's good to see a W3C compliant site being reviewed here!
