Page load times are very slow for me tonight - and I see text "thumbs up" instead of icons. The colors are nice and clean, the content looks pretty good at first glance. A lot of ads is a bit of a turn-off. I would think that the potential from consulting would out-weigh any potential ad revenue.
I also see a broken image in your header - looks like a big one too.
The forum descriptions are all very verbose and they make the page seem too text-y. I'd shrink the descriptions a little and throw in some whitespace somehow to make things less daunting to a casual visitor.
Good job, though. Just trying to be constructive, not critical
I'd appreciate a
reciprocal review if you have the time.
