It could be a tad more neutral, maybe a greyer purple?

I agree. Something less saturated.

I agree about the colors. Also, the testimonials are scrolling pretty fast.

They're set for meara-speed!!

LOL, and I thought I'd slowed the testimonial speed down tons!! I will tweak that WAYYY down. Good call; the kind of info I need.

And yep, I'm looking for basically design stuff right now. I agree; I LIKE the background color, personally, but am thinking the background color needs to be toned down.

I like the design, and the purple for the testimonial widgets is what I'm working around, and that color can't be set (or not without coding, which NO.) I don't mind feminine, since I am a woman, but I don't want it to scream GIRLY RAINBOWS WOO.

WOW, I'm totally in awe of people who type with a baby on their lap, now!! This took me like 5 minutes to write!

I grew up in an absolute pigsty of a home - one where I could never bring anyone home because they'd be horrified. The good friends I did bring over, I made them close their eyes to walk to my bedroom.

Hm. Interesting point. My childhood home was always clean and clutter-free, because my mom was absolutely frantic about keeping her parents happy. We lived with them after my parents divorced, and my mom never stopped feeling guilty about it. I remember following her around, picking up and carrying stuff for her, as she tried to clean the house without making a bit of bothersome noise. She would be short with me and of course I couldn't do anything right. I would get so mad. And once I got my own room, it was always messy, or as messy as I could get away with. Maybe I'm messy now because I'm rebelling against my mother's insistence that we must be clean and neat to keep other people happy. (Other people who were, in fact, never going to be entirely happy with us.)

One of my grandmother's best compliments of me, to her social circle, was that I was so quiet she didn't even know I was there. I'm not sure, in retrospect, that "keep quiet" = "don't bother anyone" = "good" was a particularly healthy lesson to learn.

Zen, that sounds like all the makings of the opposite of my "condition". Man, kids just soak up everything, don't they (we)?

The text, particularly the left sidebar, needs more margin around it. The testimonials stay on the screen for too short a time and the white stays too long, long enough that the impatient clicker might not wait for the next one. You might want to just feature two testimonials and have a link to a page with more.

Colors render differently on different monitors, but on mine, the background clashes with the purple in the sidebars and the heading color has more yellow in it than the graphics.

I'm kind of insane, though.

Erin, it's definitely feminine, but I wouldn't call it too girly.

Well, is your target market women only? Because I could definitely see it being a limiting factor for a masculine audience. Especially for what you're doing; it doesn't need to be a feminine feel.

The other thing is, there's no tie in the design to your tagline at all. I don't think you should have an animated cowgirl tipping back her ten gallon hat with an inkpen. But it's something to consider that if someone responds to your tag, and comes to your website expecting something with those overtones and is confronted by a very girly page, they may not have a positive response.

Really? That seems weird, and/or the "coding" in question may be really minimal. I think it's important you make your choices based on what you want, not based on something you're just working around. This is stuff you're going to have on absolutely everything, to keep your brand consistent. So you're talking, how does that work with letterhead and envelopes and business cards and signage. You don't want to be basing all that on a widget color.

Yeah, this is a good idea. Because not everyone wants testimonials. Some people might feel they read as salespitchy. So they should be there for people that want them, but maybe on call and again, not on every page.
