It's nice to see it looks right in something other than IE. Congrats on that. However, if I click the Get Started button, then try to navigate, I get 404 errors. It took me less than thirty seconds to want to leave your site b/c of this. Additionally, I shouldn't have to sign up to get a quote. People (me anyway) don't like to sign up for things unless they know they're going to stay there.

It's nice the style, and generally speaking , but there's too much information isn't it?

I am not sure if the information is too mutch...people need to know what they are paying for... I also plan to put live demo versions for the most of the interactivity elements.

to extend upon this, the reason for the 404s is that the urls used in the navigation bar are relative urls, which is something you want to avoid in link code that is going to appear on multiple pages because you don't know what directory any given page will be in. thus, make the urls in the header bar absolute, or at least relative to the site root by starting them with a slash, for instance "/prebuiltpacks.htm" instead of "prebuiltpacks.htm" and "/faq/getit.php" instead of "faq/getit.php". that way, no matter what directory level the current pages is in, the links will still reference the right locations.

I really like everything you've done in the header... and the overall site design is cooll.. however I don't understand why the titles of the menus and such are a full design... but it works anyway.

by the way, can you tell me wich script do you use for that scroller on the right? I couldn't find one like that, smooth, slower, and wich stops...

and another thing, could see the site in firefox (0.9.3)

this for instance, why is this a full image? I qould make with a little less graphics and add the text nomarlly not in a whole design... but it works anyway, it's just a personal way of doing things...

Yes...I see what you mean. Sometimes it is easier in that way. The graphics are really small.
Best,
Fader

Since everyone seems to have commented on the overall design, I thought I would take a look at the code. To put it nicely, it is ugly, but I'm guessing you are using a Macromedia product. I just think a web design firm should have fairly valid code.

Your site has 54 errors according to W3C's validator.
