It is never too late to make it look awesome. Websites should evolve regularly. Keep in mind that this is your virtual sales staff. If you do not impress them IMMEDIATELY you lose them forever.
I would like to see the logo you have at the bottom of the page shown at the top using the same scale that the upper logo currently uses. I like the color splash on that lower logo. I do not like 2 logos present on same page. Remove the lower logo. The footer is way to busy with it present.
Your favicon does not seem to be working, it may be me though. Have others verify.
The bottom bar you just placed in there should pan the entire screen. If there is a reason you decided not to do it, tell me.
The 2 affiliation logos, place them to the right and left of the footer text using 3 cell table or CSS and make all of it look symetrical.
ABOUT US
I like the content box that contains this data: "Jaymunda™ is a nationwide graphic and web design company. Committed to delivering innovation, we collaborate closely with our clients to help them achieve a solid marketing appeal."
I would make the image on the left a little smaller so there isn't as much space above and below the aforementioned text. Be careful, when you adjust the site to work in 800 res be sure the adjustment you make above works.
That is the primary reason to design in 800 first. Then all you have to do is make sure the elements on the screen stretch accordingly (if desired).
These links:
Design Process and Our Services are LOST on the page. I didn't even notice them the first time I visited it. Neither will your potential clients. Maybe add these prominently in the box above, this will use up some of the 'white space' created by the image on the left side of the box.
Yes, I think that is the way to go:
"Jaymunda™ is a nationwide graphic and web design company. Committed to delivering innovation, we collaborate closely with our clients to help them achieve a solid marketing appeal.
Design Process :: Our Services"
PORTFOLIO PAGES
I like the way you have this setup. It is very well thought out.
My only comment is that the table that contains the links to the various clients seems to be lost in space. It needs to be grounded somehow. Maybe a very subtle BG color on that tabel would set it off a little? I would also like to see the
bullet in front of each clients name.
This text:
"Below are some examples of our satisfied clients."
It is offset on the page and it breaks up the flow a little bit. It forces a white space over the client screenshots.
Maybe add it to the top row of the list of clients and shorten the text:
Client List
---------------
- Appalachian Log & Timber Frame, Inc.
- Adrenaline Flow
- WTF, Inc.
- Quo Productions
- Stoltz Management
- Denison Montessori
Unless you are trying to sell imovable objects chnage the word stationary to stationery ;-)
"Design is everything we see, whether in print or on the web. It is the look and feel of magazines, reports, advertisements."
Within a list of items where a comma is used you need to add a closing word before the final item. For example, add the word AND before advertisements. Remember to leave the comma before the word and.
"Design is everything we see, whether in print or on the web. It is the look and feel of magazines, reports, and advertisements."
"The marketplace is too competitive to have an ad or a website that doesn't look good."
The verbage used is sophamoric, no offence intended. I recommend rewording to:
"Today's marketplace is too competitive to have advertising materials that look unprofessional."
"Design is what we do. We bring consistency and quality to your marketing campaign through your logo, advertisements, stationary, and website."
Change to:
"Developing professional marketing materials is our forte. We will deliver consistency and quality to your marketing campaign. Contact us [link to contact form] today and learn how we can help you."
"See a few Design application ideas." Change "D" to lower case.

"If you're looking for an advertisement, stationary, a logo, brochures, quarterly reports or something else, Jaymunda will give you the edge you need. Our pricing is up to 20% below the rest of the industry, but above average in quality. See a few Design application ideas."
"an advertisement"
What do you mean? Do you mean to say "print advertising"?
Stationery - again.
"We take the mystery out of the Internet."
Change to: "We take the mystery out of Internet marketing."
NEVER underline text. Users think it is a link.
"Already have a website? ...but want to make changes or overhaul its look and feel? We'll be happy to update your site to bring it to its full potential."
Improper use of punctuation.
"Already have a website but want to make changes to it or modify the look and feel? We will be happy to update your site to bring it to its full potential."
Also, avoid using conjoined words as often as possible. Especially in marketing materials. You use them a lot.
"Our business is here to serve your business. Jaymunda was started to give each company an edge above their competition. We stand by this vision, promoting reliable, innovative service so that your company stands out from the others."
Change to:
"Our business is here to serve you. Jaymunda was started to give each company an edge above their competition. We stand by this vision, promoting reliable, innovative service so that your company stands out from the others."
I am not a fan of crossing off prices making it look like there is a "sale". I like to see prices listed as is.
