Default Re: New Marketing Agency Website

Hi Mike,

I can see you are going for a clean slick "web 2.0" sort of feel. The site is definitely neat and I like the simplicity, but it just doesn't grab me the way a marketing site should. It's a bit bland.

I think you need to take the message from the last line of text on your front page:

"We recognise the ability of design to stimulate the senses."

...and apply it with gusto!

Looking at some of your competitors: http://www.connectingimages.com.au these guys grabbed me. I have no idea what the ball of wool is about, but the colours got me interested, and the typography is interesting.

These guys: http://www.marketforce.com.au/ also got me in with the animation.

.. and both these competitors lead with cool tag lines:

"Small enough to imagine possibilities, big enough to deliver them" and "Intelligent, imaginative, energetic", while you guys lead with "Engage Marketing is a marketing & design consultancy business based in Melbourne." I know it's good SEO but it's a bit boring.

I hope you find this constructive. Like I said, I like the site, it looks good.
