Still in the works, but mostly completed as far as layout and theming goes.

I'm working on a blog (completed, just adding a bunch of content before linking it), and will be adding photos into the services page, to show some of my photography work, image restoration, video editing, and hardware assembly.

I'll also be adding some pricing as soon as I finalize my list.

I'm also on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Feedback is appreciated!

Thanks dude!

Partylikearockstar (Shane) and I worked on it together. I threw ideas, he coded them out, and offered suggestions all over the place. :)

He's working hard to get into the game, and I think he did an awesome job on my site! We are still evolving it of course, but feel free to drop him a line, or check out his other stuff! www.teamtrimbledesigns.com

The only thing that strikes me is the Contact page. I usually don't suggest putting an email address on the page, but rather build a form to email to reduce the spam bots from crawling it and collecting your email address for future spam lists. It also adds a bit of convenience for your patrons. If you are going to use an email address, you might go ahead and make it a mailto: link so that it will open the users email client so they can compose one easily to you. Otherwise its looking good!

Welcome to Mr E Multimedia!

This website showcases some of the services that I offer, as well as a bit of history about myself, and my credentials and experiences in the IT world. I also offer some examples of photographic work I've done, including retouching and repairing vintage photos, wedding and event photography, and outdoor landscapes.

I've also got a link to my Twitter account, where I'll post updates in technology and trends, as well as business and training updates!

Lastly, I will be adding a blog. I promise that I'll try to keep it relevant, but I will most likely end up on a soap box once in awhile.

Thanks for stopping by!

You should put that in a... what do you call it... dangit. Hmm. Like how you have your home and about buttons. Put it in a window thingy like that, with a bit of shadowing. Maybe a nice gray background or something.

Also, the flame is a bit discolored. I think that happens when you save it as the wrong file type or something. Maybe you could also make it "pop" a bit more? I like the simplicity, but it's just.. missing something.. Maybe do a bit of highlighting to make it somewhat more 3-dimensional. or something.

I'm incredibly helpful, I know. haha

Clicked on the ads for you as well. One thing that bothers me a bit about the website is the oder of the buttons. I'd move them in this order:
HOME SERVICES ABOUT CONTACT

Also, the flame is a bit discolored.

The logo image that we used was an upscaled JPG, converted from a vector image. I hand drew the logo, and took it to a local sign shop a few years ago, and they created a vector for me.... which I've lost now. DOh.

Either way, they still have it on file, so I'll get a proper one to remove those compression artifacts that are discoloring it. :)

The background behind the text boxes was something that we are sort of up in the air about. Initially we had one.. a light gray with a black outline, but decided that we sort of liked the clean simplicity of black on white with no border. I'm back and forth on it, so we'll likely end up with a simple black line border around that section, with rounded corners.

Also, does anyone else have any suggestions for articles I could write on my blog?

So far I've done a few general tune up articles, an introduction to file sharing over the internet, and I'm going to be talking about printer sharing, multiple computers accessing the same mail account, and some general tips about roaming and cellular data charges.

Keep in mind that this is really just very simple things that will be more for explanation to average users, and the aim is to keep them out of trouble, while still giving them enough knowledge to crave more. :)
