Critique me....

Anyone who''s feeling especially chipper today can come see my website, help me generate traffic, and pick apart my website design. If your feeling a little irritable, send me some spam, and tell me to get the heck out of this forum and post on a web developing site instead of a gamedev site. Thnx!

I agree with the last post - yuck.
It is needlessly visually busy - too many boxes, high contrast letters and backgrounds. The boxes also make it hard to distinguish your content from what looks like a banner ad at the top.
There is little quick information on what it is you do - what the purpose of the site is. I saw something about PLC, whatever that is, and that you sell computers I guess. But, my quick look over your home page - which is all people will usually do - they don''t sit and read all pages in detail - didn''t give me a sense of your business.

I agree, as it is it looks pretty bad, but I don''t think it''s because the overall design sucks, just elements of it.
For example, that light blue color, for me at least, always lends an "amateurish" look to a page. I don''t know why, but I always associate the light blues with cheap, crappy pages. Changing the colors would do wonders I think.
Also, the "main menu" or whatever you want to call it to the left of the banner would be more aesthetically well-placed if it were laid out across the screen below the banner.
I know that seems almost like a cliche in terms of menu placement, but there is a reason that the standard location of that menu has evolved to what it is...
Anyway, I think those things will make an enormous difference.

Yeah, color affects our emotions. Blue can be considered a neutral, passive color, but it still has its negative connotations -- sadness, naivety, depression.
Your website is too saturated. You need to back down on the saturation and use more complimentary colors. The bright cyan edges of your tables are just eye-burningly bright. I had to close my browser before I could even figure out what your site was about.
To a little research on color theory; This will help your website immensely.

Wow... I really appreciate your input. You can be sure I will act on your suggestions. I will just have to rid myself of my affection for cyan. I guess I''m quirky that way. Anyway thnx for the suggestions. I''ll work on getting some fullscreen screenshots as well.
