I would love to hear your critique on my website:
http://www.macecraft.com/set_abc_code.php?code=62

The url looks funny because we are currenly doing a/b split testing, but if you enter the website with this url you will all see the same first page.

Thanks.

Looks pretty ok to me... although it's a bit dark and the product showcase isn't that much pronounced, I do however found what to look for in your site at a glance, so thats a big plus.

Btw the link to the home page on the main navigation menu at top should still be there even when you're on the home page, you need to make it stay put because it's a bit unconventional. As for the logo, I like the texts, the symbol however looks a little informal. I think this site is good to go, unless you really want to make it more current you can add a little bit of graphic elements here and there to make it look more modern.

I commend the page load times, the response to page to page navigation is pretty quick, and information is readily available. Good Job!

Looks professional, as a few small points I would raise:

It is fairly dark - consider using a lighter colour scheme i.e. much lighter blues in the header / link bar
There is an inconsistency on the link bar - when you are on the homepage, there is no link to the homepage, but there is on other pages, and they also have links to themselves (i.e. Downloads page has a link to Downloads).

It is generally better to still put a link in the link bar for consistency, even if it links to itself.

Make the quote stand out a little bit more by putting it in italics, or highlighting the quote marks - it is a key piece of text.

These are fairly minor, except the colour scheme and it is definately a professional looking site.

Thanks for all the comments. We are in fact changing the look of the site within a month or so, the graphics will be changed to less dark.

The Home link isn't available on the front page because I noticed from the statistics that quite a few people actually clicks the Home link while they are at the front page. But I agree this is rather unconventional thing to do, I'll propably change it.
