well, to be a web developer, the overall layout is kind of plain. Don't get me wrong, good graphics and what not, but the content and eye-candy side just isn't really there. Might try some more tweaking :P

other then that, the page loads quick and easy, and it's very informative. hope that helps.

I don't think it's very professional to use stock Dreamweaver buttons on your company's website.

You might wanna consider changing them up for new ones.

As mentioned by infolock, the pages do load quickly. But, I do see many places where you can improve your design skills.

First of all, Times New Roman is really "out of style" at the moment, especially Times New Roman at the font size you used on one of your designs. There are many great alternatives, like Arial or Verdana or even just Sans Serif, at 10 or 11pt.

It's nice that you use color, but the colors you choose aren't vivid. Maybe choose colors that are a little brighter and that have more life.

Not that my designs are much better, but here are a couple of my pages:
