So far, it's looking good...I did see a typo on the contact page. *in the comments field..."youre" needs to be spelled "your".
There's a lot of stuff I saw, that I imagine will get ironed out when you get some more pics and info inserted.
The over all look and feel seems pleasant and professional. I like the way you have your contact info everywhere! That way folks won't have to look under rocks to find you! LOL.

Felix, it has a nice look and feel, you are off to a good start.
I recommend that you delete all reference to pricing. If you display a lot of detail, it becomes a guidebook for others to underbid you. If the prices look high, potential clients go away before calling. If the prices look low, then you have to upsell against yourself when the client comes in. Sell them on you with the quality of your porfolio, then do the price sell after they have contacted you. Just one man's opinion. Vic G

I would eliminate the pricing and the letterstyles. Tell them to send you the name and you will provide 2-3 sample layouts. BTW, do you have a spanish version?

Felix, as I have mentioned before, I lived in San Juan for 3 years and did a LOT of boat stuff. I would mention several times throughout your site that you do mahogany and teak nameboards or embelishments. These guys in the upper class demand teak and mahogany. Whether it be in signage or decor, it is a must. If you are going to pursue the marine industry, pursue the "upper crust"...... forget mentioning the word "vinyl" and concentrate on what brings in the biggest bucks. Even if you have to farm out the carving of nameboards, you can still make a handsome profit just piddling around the marinas !!! You can make a vinyl paint mask and paint the graphics for 3-6 times the price of vinyl. And, use SignGold for your gold work. I speak from experience, even tho I am a Gringo.

Felix, I would start looking now for someone that can provide you good, reliable CNC router services that has access to teak and mahogany. Once you do one carved and gilded nameboard for a nice boat down there..... you will do dozens !!!
Oh, back to your original question: How does your site look? To sum it up shortly... AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

Hi Felix, Your site look great. I see some potential problems due to a lot of html errors. You used FrontPage and it has a peculiar wiev of HTML. Some things could not be so perfect viewed with browser other than IE. And today the number of alternate browsers is growing. You need to verify if your site works well with most other browsers. With iCab 2.8 ß for Mac, what I use, some thing are distributed a little unevenly. The best exemple are the letters under " Boat Graphics Letter Styles from A to Z", and also "Portfolio" under Design is not in line.
I hope you full success

Liked your site Felix, one little point that may seem absurdly pedantic, was the use of; 'the most unique'. Unique, being an absolute, cannot be qualified.
