You've made a very professional looking design there, Innovasolv, alltough, here's a few things you might want to consider:
1. Increase the logo picture quality
2. Change the style of the sub-titles (like Flash Intros and Presentations) so they won't look like the traditional link
3. Separate "Contact" and "us" in the main menu (contactus is not a word)
4. Get rid of the counter in /WebDesigners.htm, you are advertising yourself as a professional webdesigner, not a hobby one
5. Finish up the /links.htm and /Sitemap.htm.
6. Have all your links that points to external websites open in a new window (_blank).

Also, since you are a professional webdesigner, look into the XHTML language when you create websites for customers and so on, instead of using cheap templates. Unless you've bought the single-use rights for these templates, make your own. It wouldn't look too good if a customer finds another website out there with the exact same design as themselfes.
If you're using a template and distributing it as your own, at least give the template designer some credit on your own websites.

Besides these things, everything looks fine! You're a well qualified web designer if you put some work into it Good luck with your business!

No, this is a bad idea, and it's not necessary. Opening new windows when your visitors don't expect it is considered quite rude and it does confuse people. Opening new windows is bad for accessibility and usability and the old idea that opening links in a new window to keep people on your site has not proved out at all. People use their back button.. so let them use it.

Now for the site critique:
- The design looks like a really old template, it looks dated.
- You're a web design company and your site doesn't validate - it fails with 42 errors. One glaring error, your DOCTYPE is INSIDE your <html> tag.. it should not be there. It should be the first thing on the page ABOVE the <html> tag.

- You're using deprecated HTML .. the <font> tag is dead, so is <center> and a host of others.

-You're using tables for layout and CSS is barely there. If you're going to design sites in 2006, perhaps you should learn modern web design.
Good article to read on the topic of tables:
Why tables for layout is stupid: problems defined, solutions offered

- You're using PX sizes for your text sizing. By using px you are handcuffing your IE visitors by not allowing them to resize the text should they want it larger -- or smaller for that matter. Using em or % would be better for accessibility and usability.

-aboutus is not a word

I think that's all I'll pick on for now. Sorry if you think it's harsh.

Can't say I agree with you there, though. You just suggested what causes accessibility and usability problems. Most of todays operative systems can multi-task. I'm also suprised you find it rude to open an external link in a new window? In what way?
I'm not gonna argue with you here, that's slightly unprofessional and off topic, but I just had to reply to it...

nice site, but you must change 'contactus' and 'aboutus' they are not words, and make you look like a fool that cant spell.

other than that its ok
