    Very nice but it could definitely use some refinement.

    Because you have six images that contain your body copy there's very little SEO on your homepage.

    I don't like how the dotted lines act as separators for the 6 cells. I think if each graphic was slightly larger, with a slightly larger drop shadow/outer glow, THAT could be used as the visual separators between the content buckets. The dotted lines are just too literal.

    You have a bottom shadow underneath the main white background color, making the white a layer on TOP of the dark and light gray, yet there are no shadows on either side of the white to help sell the illusion. If you add a slight drop shadow starting from the top to the bottom, on the right and left sides that gradually gets larger as it goes down the shape, then that would help sell it that this is a separate piece that is sitting on top, and floating above the rest of the site. It will also give the page some added depth and dimension.

    The search box is in the wrong place. Your users will never find it. I don't care what your boss or sales guy is telling you, switch the search box with the rss, twitter and facebook icons. There is no way those social media icons should take precedence over your search feature.

    The left and right arrows could use a bit of refinement. They're slightly too wide. Shave off 2 or 3 pixels from their width and you're golden.

    Your interior pages are very nicely designed. Very clean and clear. You've changed up the graphical usage though. On the home page this is how you handle the images...


    The interior pages the same graphic doesn't have the shadows and outer glow...

    Add the outer glow and drop shadow to these images as well and you can again lose the vertical dotted divider lines, and let the images act as the dividers.

    The about page is really nice! Great layout and IA.

    Overall really well done.
