HEY GUYS! My fiance and I have finally got our site up and I'm leaving my full-time job to focus specifically on it. So far so good! Lined up a job designing the UX for a major airline's ipad/iphone/android/kiosks apps and some more work currently underway. Excited to share with you guys!

cool!
but,i think your website need more ... something. The crossair cursor doesn't serve anything, I tought it was for drawing lines between numbers. Lack of information... it doesnt look 'official' to me... specially on a car-go layout. I guess you wanted it to be simple; well maybe it is too much simple. The index is boring, lack of images, colors... something.
Sorry.
- totally... Its simple for now - (hence why its on car-go. We're working on a proprietary site over the next few monthsidentity
- we're just trying to get the work out there so when we talk to people, we can point them at a URL instead of an 8mb PDF :-)identity
- Oooh! I see :)
better then! Good luck my friend :D GO OUT AND LIVE!benfal99 - amen...

To Benfal's point - it's a little TOO simple right now. We're trying to find the right balance of mystery and information. Trying a bunch of different things here and there, trying to find the right formula for us and our work. We like the engagement of the unknown, but recognize that if you didn't know where you were going or what you were looking at, you might get frustrated and walk away before clicking on the numbers. Trial and error for now. Thanks for the feedback!

I don't think the average marketer will be wowed by the site. They want to see your work and if they like it they'll pick up the phone. For most people the processes and ideas behind design are a mystery enough, no?

O dear. I applaud you for your passion but your business sense seems to be lacking.
You are no longer dealing with 'creatives' who get it. You will be dealing with EXU Mngmnt he deals in 'results.' its not about design to these guys. You need 'more' information on what you do and how you can help these companies through design.
Granite I don't know your direction and you may already have your niche planned out but your site to me is coming across as a wedding couple....In love, not people dedicated to growing someones business.

Really nice work... like good old fashioned corporate identity thinking before the B word threw everything into multi-faceted turmoil (though without actually looking old fashioned I should stress). The site is nice, simple, clean, bold, confident, timeless... great.
My only observation would be that of the 6 things to click, one is 'coming soon' and by my reckoning at least 4 are fictional projects, certainly 5 only show on screen visuals and not actual post-production examples of work.
For me thats something that would need to be evolved out if you are hoping to get businesses to trust you with their needs and budgets. Nothing worse than meeting potential new creative suppliers then when you go through their presentation they have to admit that "actually this one isn't a live project"... "This one is kind of real, but the company haven't implemented it yet"... "this is a pitch we did but we didn't get it" etc etc.
But aside from that, congrats, and really nice to look at.

Thanks for the feedback! The only project proposed on there is the ivory identity... The rest are actual work - albeit were showing them within a digital layout - this is to be considerate to consistency of presentation.
Awesome feedback on navigation and content guys - will need to make some of these changes for sure! Thanks for all the great feedback too! Were excited about future work that is coming and will post as it becomes available!
