Looking for input, not looking for bashing, which is what this board loves to do.
I'm about to launch the following site, the tossed in photos are a client request, can't do anything about it.
Constructive please.

Everything is a bit janky here. Your strokes / gradients / buttons / shapes are sort of unrefined and could use a bunch of cleaning up. Leading is a bit loose for the text on here, your headers are not standing out, maybe use some @font-face for headers, or at least a different color. Overall it's a decent sketch, but could use a lot of refining / polish.

I found it very difficult to go back to the homepage, hidden within the 200 Market logo. It took a long time to figure out that 200 is a building that leases out offices and that it's located in Oregon. Nothing makes sense. If I am looking to sign-in to the tenent service system, I get "Angus Anywhere".... what does that mean?! That's all I can say else I'd have to start billing you my regular service fee to bash your website anymore.

The page layout from page to page is a little frustrating because you aren't using a grid and images and text seem to just flow together too much. The Philosophy page has an image centered below a quote that happens to have a line length that is a little too long for comfort. Then a nice photo snugly up against the right.
Then I go over to the Testimonials page and the line length is now longer with photos waaay over on the right. It's getting kinda hard to read, so I go over to Quick Facts and see that you have, in fact, gone full width on me. This isn't cool.
The constructive part of what I'm saying is set a line length and style for your pages. Treat them with as much design sense as your homepage, which is quite nice. Oh, and I don't think the bashing is "what this board loves to do," I'd like to think most people are just speaking the truth when they critique work on here. Later.

utopian, thanks.
Yes, "BASHING" occurs on this site, the funniest part of the bashing is it's an open forum, so you can have some fat-ass sitting munching bon-bon's tossing shit at anyone's work, when he/she has nothing to show themselves.. art and design is just that, where your mind takes you, if it doesn't move you then so be it, don't BASH!!! All true artists are hated.. Well, until they are dead..
Be constructive.
- even if it happens, don't take it personally--it's the internet. That said, the critiques you got were spot on.sseo

I can read the type, which means it's too big, which means you're a print designer.
