What do you think about this design/functionality
Guys,
I've launched my new website today. I've decided to go for 'sales letter' format and have all the info on one page however that good/bad may be. Any comments are more then welcome!

It's good but the contrast between the two sides distracts me..

Yeah, a bit distracting I agree. Thought I'd make it different and memorable that way.

I think it's time to go back to the drawingboard. The design comes off as you want to showcase your design skills more then the quality coding you would be able to provide for your clients.
With that said, the coding isn't really that great either :/ Tableless doesn't mean that you should use unnessecary amount of div's to get the job done.
And as example:
And where is your previous work? I would never hire someone without any past references.

Agreed with hjalmar. Also, too much scrolling. Try to utilize the whitespace on the left in a new design in order to put more info above the fold. Making someone scroll to see your prices (especially that far), is NOT a good idea. With this design, you will lose many clients, and it also doesn't look that great, even though some won't care about that.
Also, a design which uses less markup, and cleaner markup is always good. You are using WAY too much code for what needs to be done.

tableless coding doesn't mean forgetting tables exist.
The pricing part is exactly where you would use a table.
100% Valid html != good markup

I agree with the above posts. Its a neat concept as far as the design/layout goes. I didn't find it too distracting. I found the font size in the form fields to be too large.

it will be easy to navigate if you can place few buttons on top which can take viewer down side so that need not to keep scrolling and beside that good icon work throught ...

Hey, thanx for the reviews!
I must say that I agree with conclusion that pricing should have been a table, I'll be changing that.
And yes, the design stands out a bit too much, that was not my primary goal but the header graphics (I got carried away with) dictated the larger fonts & elements below, otherwise the graphics eat the rest of the page, and since I liked it, I decided to go for it.
I don't think that scrolling is such a problem... if you're a serious customer you will want to read the rest of a page, otherwise you are most likely not interested, or just checking out the competition, maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it seems.
The page needs more authority that's for sure & I know that, testimonials, previous work, about etc. Since this is my first shot as a freelancer, I need to check with my prev employers is it OK to showcase their websites.
