I find the design a bit dull. All those unexciting shades of brown :s

...

But, the markup under it all is nice and clean

yes, nice clean, economical markup. but isn't the universal background of
business sales white? and is it's hallmark other color blue?

we're different. we're orange. it makes more sense in Arizona.

Hah

Colours evoke emotions, and some colours and "colour spaces" are
associated with particular businesses. I think good design doesn't have
to follow conventions. So long as you garner the correct response from
your audience, whatever works, works yes?

The colours on this site dont work, for me. The site has a negative
"vibe" before I've even read any content. It should be either neutral
(white, black, hints of colour) or better tints need to be picked.
Brown is very uninspiring
