Only one thing: I would not use any animations as I find them quite annoying and distracting, and I imagine many other people do.

Hi Ty,
I'm pleased that you like it and...thanks for your precious tips!
Spelling mistake now corrected!
I'll try to slow down the animation even if it was meant to be just an overview (you can find the same quotes below). Let's see if it works better!
Bye,
Paola

It is well done and nice. However, since you are in Italy, I would use Italia landmarks as images instead of U.S. road and U.S. Supreme Court photographs????
Wish you every success!

Hi Diana,
thanks for your feedback!
To be honest, the animation is one of my favourite parts of the website.
I think that people don't have to follow necessarily all the animation section as they can easily click on the part they're interested in. Anyway, I'll think about it!
Bye,
Paola

Hi Paola,
you've selected a very nice template with a clean design. However, I find the animated header a little distracting too. Perhaps if you could make the module a little smaller it would be fine.
PS: Don't forget to use a good security plugin for your Joomla site. Joomla-based websites are very popular among hackers.

I should start by saying that I'm not savvy about websites. I like the animations but I do think that they are way too fast. I would even think about getting rid of one of the quotes, that way you could slow the whole show down without it turning into a drag.
Personally, I think that the English lacks a bit of flair. Or maybe it is just me, see what others think...

Overall I like it.
I like the animation, but I think it is too big, same goes for the rest of the first page, I don't like pages where you have to scroll down loads, and for me your home page is far too long (but that's just me, other people will probably not mind).
I like the images and layout.
At the bottom of the pages the section "ABOUT COMPANY" appears in Italian as does the "QUICK CONTACT" section.

If your blog will only be in Italian I would remove it from the English version of the site.
You do need to polish the English, there are some strange word usages "atelier" (don't know what you meant there, maybe office?), "privates" (private individuals), "all the morning" (all morning), "language and translation addicted" (language and translation addicts), etc. ▲ Collapse

Me too. "Atelier" is the French for a workshop (or artist's study) and is occasionally found in texts to do with arts and crafts. By using this form the Asker is narrowing her target market by excluding the many people unaware of this low-frequency usage.
My reaction to "privates" has to be "No Comment"...

Will you have English blog entries at a later stage?

I 'll take your advice into great consideration to improve the English version!

Hello Paola
You've put an apostrophe in the wrong place on your "About us" page.
"We know that you want more than just a translation, dont' you?"

| More than the apostrophe | Feb 18, 2013 |
That's a good example of what I meant. While you are at it, I would change more than the apostrophe...
Why have the blog in English at all, if the language aspect is going to pose such a big problem?
