    Hey, I launched my design site, http://www.9-volt.com (uses Executive theme) and am looking from some feedback. Any suggestions to make it better? ALSO -- and maybe most important -- the site loads SUPER SLOW. Any ideas why? Thanks for taking a look! – Mary

    Hi Mary - First impression was favorable. You do have a problem with the speed. I ran a test and here is a link to those results: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130824_HV_16H/1/details/ Not sure, but I'd call your hosting provider and begin the process of elimination.

    The only two areas where I would invest some more time and color is in the page tabs up top (when you hover they turn white... seems too bland for a designer's site) and the footer area is also a little flat.

    Of course, your site looks better than my sites so take the feedback with a grain of salt.

    Best of success.

    I like it! Agree with the two points above on the footer and the hover colors of the navigation bar. Overall, though, I like it.

    Nice site! I would have to agree with the above, the footer area just doesn't seem to "fit" with the rest of the site. I really like the splattered paint image though!

    Mary, I really like your customization of the Executive Theme. My feedback is to change out your favicon from the Genesis "G".

    Nicely done.
