Ian,

I think you need to spend more time fleshing out the content relating to 
what the company is and what they can do, and less time offering news and 
seemingly gratuitous message boards and download listings.

These things say nothing about *your* company. If I wanted downloads I'd go 
to download.com. News is at news.google.com

If I arrive at your site wanting hardware upgrades or website development, 
that's what I want to know about.

Putting 'add to favourites' and 'set as homepage' links in your navigation 
bar, on equal footing with 'about us' and 'consultancy' suggests you don't 
have much else of value to add.

The copy on your 'about us' -> 'who we are' page is particularly weak. 
Disjointed sentences, poor wording, etc.

Also everything other posters said about the usability (or lack thereof) of 
the navigation system.

regards.
