Please Review the following:
Does the home page sufficiently convince people to go further into the site?

Hi guys,

New site... perhaps still some bugs but in the process of sorting it out.

I need some Beta Testers as well if anyone is keen to help out, send me a PM. Cheers.

Must say the look and feel of the page says it all....

Does/can the site achieve its main purpose?

It can the only think i feel goes wrong here... there are loads of links and information on the homepage itself it becomes a little difficult for the first time user....

Navigation. Is it clear and easy to understand?

Not all that easy..

Appearance/Attractiveness

Pretty attractive

Typos and grammar
Not found any

Search engine marketing. Can the pages be reasonably well indexed by search engines?

I guess the title of the page is too long as far as my knowledge says... the title of the page should not exceed more then 8 to 10 words...

Altogether its a great start!!!

-Great organisation with the categories and headings and such, along with the links underneath them, I am definitely enticed to go further into the site.

Does/can the site achieve its main purpose?
-Yep, I would think so, though that isn't terribly clear when I first land there. A brief tagline that says what your site is about wouldn't hurt a thing.

Navigation. Is it clear and easy to understand?
-For the most part yes, along with the categories and headings and such.

Appearance/Attractiveness
-Not terrible. The yellow bars make the text a bit hard to read, so I would give that a different treatment instead of the greyed inner bevel.

Typos and grammar
-Not that I could find.

Images failing to load
-Ditto.

Is the Contact, Privacy and Legal information adequate in relation to main purpose of site?
-Couldn't really find them.

Search engine marketing. Can the pages be reasonably well indexed by search engines?
-I didn't see anything that would be a huge roadblock. Though do you really need the entire URL in your internal links as well as like, 5 Stylesheets? Just curious.

Good luck with the site though, I'm actually going to go back and see what it's about and what it might do for me.

It took me a minute to figure out what you offerred. I would move the yellow buttons of your services up I think. The yellow buttons aren't crisp..somewhat hard to read. What is REALLY hard to read is the gray on black wording at the top. The black is so stark compared to the rest of your site. I can't decide if I like it or not. When I see a black background I think of "goth" stuff so maybe it's just my old fashionedness.

Does/can the site achieve its main purpose?
After I'm there a minute, yes.
Navigation. Is it clear and easy to understand?
Yes, your navigation is good and easy. I like it.
Appearance/Attractiveness
See my first comments. I love the blue, it's pretty.
Typos and grammar
None that I saw
Images failing to load
no problem there
Is the Contact, Privacy and Legal information adequate in relation to main purpose of site?
They weren't obvious to me.

This is where I don't have enough experience to comment. The experts here on this forum will give you much better feedback than I can. They are really good.

It's a good start! Keep at it!
