To tell you the truth the orange isn't looking that nice on the white background.

nice design, orange is fine IMHO, but the gray text is too light. use black for best contrast.

Thanks for all the input so far guys, I'll take your advice and change the text to black. I'll leave the dividers light grey though.

I think that a darker orange would solve a few readability issues and provide a better overall site. Or maybe even part with orange and use a darker blue?

I think you could achieve a better balance between the intense orange text and something that won't intensely burn people's eyes. The site appears a bit bland, have you considered adding graphic elements to make it more lively? Maybe a logo or stock photo or something? Also you might want re-word some of the text, for instance: "...We have a very friendly team of technical support staff...". That just sounds odd, as having a team of staff is kinda redundant. Also change seperates to separates.

i agree with the orange.. it is not that easy on the eyes. Perhaps darker or a different color. i also agree with Mary Wise that it needs a logo and even one or two small pics/graphics on it to spice it up a bit.

Thanks again folks. I plan to add some logo/graphics soon. I have considered changing the orange in the color scheme too.

Color scheme is fine to me. I would really ad a logo or graphic, as already suggested though to help tighten it up and make it feel more "complete."

Good luck!

Pretty ok, flat & simple.

Also comment on the orange fonts, if you want to keep them in the color orange.. try to make the fonts bold or something.

that way it might fit in a bit better, imho

First, it's a very nice change from the annoying template-style flash sites. It's simple and clean, easy to read, no blinking, animated, laser sound-effect silliness.

However, as others have said, it appears faded to my eyes. The orange text is too lacking in contrast and makes it difficult to read. A bolder, brighter orange would help. The area that is most difficult to read is the orange on grey headlines.

You might consider more spacing between the menu entries on the left.

And perhaps grey-out the copyright notice a little, to make it less noticable.

Please use a spell-checker before you open for business!
