Overall, the style is incredibly trendy, which is a double-edged sword: you want to show you can handle popular techniques, but you don't want your site to become so trendy it blends in with the competition. Specifically, the use of diagonal backgrounds, tall navigation buttons, and the massive header (not to mention the color scheme) scream "Web 2.0." Still, it's put together well and professionally, but it does make me wonder if there isn't a template involved somewhere.

On the clearly needs-to-be-corrected side: the logos at the bottom of the page are very pixelated; the header is, even on 1024x768, more than half the height of an average browser window; the top navigation isn't as slick or attractive as the buttons to the left of the login form. Finally, though, I'd really suggest getting rid of the monitor/screenshot in the header... it's trendy, but it never accomplishes what it aims to.

quiller, thank you for your opinion. Concerning your subtle question if there's a template involved - no, all my pages are handcrafted.

You're right with the aiming at web 2.0, yet we also do "normal" pages, as we design for business companies too, whose do not insist on this "new style" or even deny being pushed into this corner.

Finally, thank god everyone can design in his own fashion as this is it what makes creatitivity work.
