    Default Re-launched our site today

    Our 'corporate' site was woefully out of date, and probably converting quite badly - but we've had that much work in the past year that we've not had chance to do much about it.

    But finally, it's done. Entirely WordPress driven (of course!) and the front page is 100% widget based and could be customised and tweaked with ease. Would love to hear feedback. Don't forget that our client base for Interconnect IT is largely corporate and decisions were taken with those in mind. And there's still some work to do.

    Here it is... be kind!

    Very nice, well done! I like the sliding solution feature and the sliding articles.

    The lord of every land, rising for them,
    The Aton of the day, great of majesty.

    Thanks @martin...

    @conorp... Thanks. No screenshots though, funny enough! Actually, probably have one somewhere but to be honest we weren't terribly proud of it. It was done in a hurry, cheaply, and was far too complex for users. We've learned a heck of a lot since then. Still a lot to learn, of course...

    It looks good Dave, I like the slider too, very smooth.

    As far as converting better, you could maybe draw even more attention to your contact info. Flip around the search and the phone number, and/or add a contact link to the top navigation.

    Thanks Martin - you can see that it's a fair old change from past designs...

    @JLeuze - ta muchly, have added Contact Us to the top navigation - let's see :-)

    Client Section may move down at some point to make some more space at the top - I'm scared of it getting too cluttered. Of course, sites that convert well and make money aren't necessarily the ones that win design awards. eg, look at Amazon and eBay...

    I like the base colors and the smooth sliders in various places are a nice touch to make recent content available and provide aesthetic access points to your services.
