Site's Main Purpose: Ecommerce/Sales
Please Review the following:
Does the home page sufficiently convince people to go further into the site?
Does/can the site achieve its main purpose?
Navigation. Is it clear and easy to understand?
Appearance/Attractiveness
Images failing to load
Search engine marketing. Can the pages be reasonably well indexed by search engines?

First thing I notice is the word "welcome" is misspelled in title_01.gif. "welcome to my site" has become a bit cliched.
A logo would be nice to establish some identity. Based on your domain name, "red fly" could convey some very unique and interesting graphics to "brand" your site.
Needs some padding on the left. First paragraph runs to the edge.
None of the links on the home page work for me except the ones to fastlink, which is offsite.
Text is a bit large. You might want to look into CSS for font control.

Just a comment on your "call to action" strategy...
Assuming you're at the stage in your business to attract new business, then you might move the "Get a Free Quote" piece up to where the "Client Login" is and move the "Client Login" down to where the "Get a Free Quote" is.
Since people tend to read left to right, it would do you good to have that Freebie sitting in a more visible spot... especially with the light gray bars moving horizontally towards that area.
As with JeromeQ's post... the nav seems to be disabled so if that's not intentional in the early roll-out... then you want to get those links working and I'd recommend using a link validator for that purpose.
Overall... a clean looking site.

I really like the look of the site..was very quick to load. I love your name and logo. It is eye-catching without being intrusive. I did want to investigate and move further into the site..very professinal looking...which it had better be considering your content!

Yes, very nice, clean corporate. Doesn't annoy !! I'd get clear on your keyphrases and optimize thusly. Not sure about the flash. I like it personally, but I don't think the final word is out re search engines.
Nice overall. I like keeping text short, and in boxes. People don't read on the net, they skim. This is skimmable. Good job. Of course none of the links work yet, but you must know that. I am a web designer and I'd hire you as a sub, or at least give you creedence. Your company gives the impression of being fairly expensive but very good. (That's a good thing!)

Thanks for all the feedback people.
First of all, its not a template. Its totally unique (It would have to be!)
I have not optomized it or added any REAL content (I know...I was taking the p**s [kenzee03]). This is my first project that is actually going to get OFFline media atention this summer. It is very important that I get it right FIRST TIME.
doctormd23: I am in the process of moving the free quote option. Thank you for your feedback.
hotwired: thank you too. This site is actually going to offer the lowest webdesign and development prices in Ireland. At the moment, there is little competition and whats there are all charging EXTORSIONATE prices. This is my oppertunity.
Anyway, the next version (The one with real content and working links) will be up in the next few weeks.
Thank you very much to everyone who gave feedback. I cannot explain how much I appreciate it.

The site was fast loading and had a clean layout. Three observations:
"Headquartered somewhere around, fastlink2 is the leading specialist in digital media solutions, with operations worldwide." is a little awkward and would benefit from being rewritten (IMO).
The title needs to be more than "RedFly Studios." Most people won't be searching for "RedFly Studios," so you should incorporate your most important keywords into the title. An H1 and a couple of H2 tage would also help your ranking.
You should also write a meta description tag that is targeted to humans (not search engines). Many engines will use it on the SERPs.
(don't bother with meta keywords)
P.S. Does the CSS and HTML validate?

katay: Thanks for the reply.
The site is still in beta testing and none of the links link to any functions yet. (I am aware of this)
"I was interested in finding out more about you site"
That can only be good!
Thanks a million!
