Colours - Wishywashy / Cool????

I agree completely. More saturation would, I think, really help focus
attention.

....or distract.

The catch here is that we're looking at a pallet by itself. To really judge
color, it needs to be put into the context of the overall visual design.

Then at the very least see if you can find a way to incorporate all of
the other colors in each section. The obvious example would be to match
the menu items with their section color.

Although your changing the main color for each section does not detract
very much from the site's understandability, it doesn't help much
either. And it leads to some borderline "hover" link states, in for
example, the "Downloads" section, where the hover state is too light.

I have found through experience that color-coding sections of a site or
multimedia presentation is essentially useless if you are trying to make
it mean anything. Most people don't even notice the color change, and if
they do they just think it's something the designer did to make it look
pretty.

The colors themselves have a light, informal quality. Try darkening each
one so that they seem more serious and business-like. These colors would
be great for a business like s day-care center, but seem a bit
light-weight for the kind of business this site is for.

I dunno about that. Do you want to blend in with the crowd or stand out? Do
you want to look like your business is the routine or something fresh?

Each section is a different colour - see this by clicking on the first
option of each menu item. The colours used are shown on this link in an

But they all have a hot pink page background in my browser because you
failed to assign a background color to the page. That makes it hard to
judge your chosen colors when they're displayed with the pink. ;-)
