Nice site
I'm all for big headers but I think that homepage blue header area is way to high.

I think the text in the footer is too bright

Is it using a CMS?

Hmmm, overall the design is pretty nice. However, homepage is a bit weird. We have this huge graphic area with a tiny button which...takes you further down the page. Seems like more content could go there without sacrificing the boldness of it.

I have a 30" monitor with my browser window at a fairly large size. The "fold" of the page is down at "Why Avisena", which is of course the main explanation of the page, which happens to be off the page and I have to scroll to.
Looks like you have about 400px of meaningless message which wastes so much space on the page. Hell your nav has to be 450px down the page dude. I doubt your audience has 24"+ monitors so they're getting even more of their pages cut off with the massive header. Not good.

@ sherman, Cool, I'll look into it.
@ jonatne, I agree. I'll fix it.
@ sherman, Not yet.
@ ukit, I know. I don't have enough content to elaborate on that first opening line, waiting on marketing for that.
@jonatne, I know.. that has nothing to do with me, that's all IT.

Also, I really appreciate all the comments guys.

It's a super nice site, love the colors, layout and typography but the sizing is way off.

I would put the nav on top. I know its not as hip to do so but time after time it proves to be more usable. What happens when 10% of your clients can't find the navigation or have to scroll down to do so? Its just more functional on top for this type of site and it wouldn't change the design that much.

@ somatica, do you mean the sizing on the homepage?
- jonatne0
Yeah, the design is nice though. Great grid on the interior pages.
Your structure is odd though.
h1 = non existent (should be your logo wrapped in <h1>
h2 = content headings (should be your page title, which is current image based)I would really think about the way you design your information architecture. Good symantics go a long way in SEO performance, accessibility, usability, and scalability.

jonatne, I'm aware of the issues with my information architecture. I've been working with my SEO firm and hope to roll out a fix to this.
Also, I use wufoo because it's easy to manage.

Great to hear pengcito
Looks to me like your a talented illustrator/designer learning to design for the web the right way.

Yea, I'm much more interested in the design and style than I am in the technicalities of the industry. Also, I have a degree in marketing so I'm much more concerned about delivering a clear message above all.
