Edit: Website link removed. It's currently getting a makeover.
Wow, that's probably about the worst site I've ever seen (besides MySpace).
Edit: Some bits of this were ranty, and that last point is completely unfounded. I'll leave them up here, but be sure to read the comments
I'll step you through it:

The links are completely ordinary. No color, no ( Read more... )

Wow. Well, Kirady certainly leave an impression on one.. =:D But you didn't mention their mastery of advanced image linking, as demonstrated on the "Contact Us" page - notice how each map loads rather slowly?

Yes, folks: they're loading the full-size image, and letting the browser scale it down.

Egad.. I'm pretty much an HTML absolute beginner (but HTML5 looks absolutely nomworthy - finally, web fonts; and look at those vector graphics, without the massive processor load of Flash, and in a completely open format), and even I know what "image optimization" means.

I wonder if there's a Hall of Shame for web designers anywhere.. ^_^

Sorry if I sounded too harsh, as it's not like the over-coloured content-everywhere sites, but it is very... not 'disgusting', but more 'amateur'.

I'll admit I know very little about asp (I use PHP), but I really should have realized, either way, that it wasn't all "everything on one page." I think it was the fact that everything else was so quick-sketch that put the idea in my mind.

My main point was that only crazy people would hire you when you looked like that. I do look forward to the redesign, and I thank you for not going crazy angry.

Also, to your credit, "the worst site I've ever seen" wasn't all that bad (besides MySpace, of course, which I'd also mentioned), so that's why I could say it with all that truth. The nineties are over, and the web is looking far better for it.

Ok let's try this again, since LiveJournal seems to hate me commenting on here for the third time around...

God that site is just so...awful. You'd think that if they have enough money for 3 locations, they would have enough money to hire someone for cheap to do their website. I imagine in about an hour you could do a million times better than what they have there.

Just...oh god, a High School student can pull off something much better with about a day of research and toying around with code. A first year college / university student in about a few hours. (If they took the appropriate courses).
