You might want to redo the content in the seo page as it's generally the same as a lot of other sites (I didn't check the other pages).

Also, it seems, other pages have various duplicate content:

Hello

Well I know this is going to sound funny coming for a PR/copy person, but I think the site is quite copy heavy. I would go through and give it a quite a strong edit.

Also I dont get any real sense of your company from the copy or portfolio items. With the portfolio I would look at dividing it for example brand, literature, advertising etc and have a short para talking about each project. You could add client quotes too about what they think of your work, so it's not just you saying that it's great.

If you need any help with the copy, let me know.

Hope you find my comments useful,

Not keen on the testimonials scroller, it's a bit too quick to change, and the motion is pretty violent. Also, it's cutting off the edge of the testimonial text in Google Chrome.

That said, the main graphic and layout that looks great to me!

A couple of other pointers...

FAQ:
Maybe use bullets instead of bold text on the FAQ's, or alternating grey/white backgrounds to liven up the text there.

Portfolio:
[In Google Chrome] the gap between the text and image tiles seems to be only about 10px. For my liking, it should be about twice that (which it may already be in other browsers).

Services:
The spacing seems a bit off here too:
>space
text
>space
services
>big space (from the longer print design list)
more service
>small space
text
>big space
image panels

not that keen on the small yellow post-it note icons, but that might just be me .

Hope that helps!
Will
