I think I agree with most of what monospaced said. The one thing that IMMEDIATELY stood out to me (and I'm surprised no one said this yet) is your company logo. Design-wise it's fine, but fidelity-wise, it's not. The thin strokes are not reproducing well here, and the type strokes are maligned by the downscaling. The same issues appear in the symbol as well. Either it needs to be saved out again with better settings, or enlarged for better clarity.
Some other things I noticed:
- The "More" nav on the home page should have a way to go back, not just forward.- Having to click twice to get to the actual projects from the home page is a big usability turn off for me. I understand your comment about mobile, but how many clients are you actually expect to pick up strictly because of a mobile-ready version of your site? In the last six months mobile browsing has jumped about 2% to roughly 4.5% total. Is that really a fair reason to make your regular website less usable for 95.5% of visitors?
- Some nice whiz-bang features throughout, but on the whole it seems like this was deployed in a real hurry. For example, there are images and other elements throughout the site that are cut-off, etc. See below...
- The methodology page is nice, but maybe a bit overwhelming.
- I like the paper design for the comments area of your blog. A little confusing how some projects are in "Work" and some are on the blog area though.
- As someone else mentioned, the CSS needs to be adjusted on the About page so your heads are not cutoff— http://saforian.com/about.php
- If it were my site, I would make the social media icons open in a new window. Otherwise people will be taken to Facebook, briefly glance at your page, see they have some status updates, check those, and then possibly forget to go back to your website.
Hope that was somewhat helpful...
