Your contact form doesn't look right for me in Chrome (the "email" and "pm" options are pushed down a line). Also at 1024x768, the page wiggles when I scroll down by dragging the middle mouse button, but the extra horizontal content is just unintentional-looking whitespace.

In your headings, my eyes were immediately drawn to the block letter text. It was only after I processed it and realized that your message couldn't be "we do mundane things" that it occurred to me to re-read it. Then I found the strikeout and scribblings.

You might consider beefing up the strikeout line and using a stencil font with a more fetching shade of red. Perhaps laid over the revoked text.

Or just drop the idea altogether -- I mean, what's the message there? "We were going to tell you how ordinary we are, but at the last minute we decided we're actually pretty extraordinary after all."

I would not call that your best foot.

"We’re full-service, Vancouver-based, work-proven, and incredibly lovable."

Sounds like an Escort Service.

Am I correct in assuming you're all under 25-years old? Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. But I would suggest a little bit more gravitas for the website.

And the stock photographs make the website look like a travel guide.

Having said that, I think the website is very well done, if somewhat "busy", and I predict you'll soon have more work then you can handle.

It's a wonderfully designed site; I love how the splash page draws your eyes to where they belong, without being overly obtrusive. One criticism: on http://redstamp.ca/development/, you may want to change the menu that changes position as you scroll. Maybe keep it fixed to the top of the screen as you scroll down, but when you scroll up, it should stay in position until it hits the bottom of the screen, and then begin to move up once it's out of the viewable area. When you're at the top of the page, it can move back to its home. That's just a suggestion on top of what's already very nice work.

Looks like you may be loading three separate instances of modernizr.

Great looking site, and I love the strike-through approach you used in your marketing copy.

However, I did notice a couple issues:

1. There seems to be a few problems with the font you are using, as some of the words seem to run into each other, at least on Chrome. Some of the sub-headings on this page are borked, for example: http://redstamp.ca/design/

2. I like the carousel, but found it fairly annoying when it would continue to auto-scroll after I had clicked on one of the Design, Development, or Marketing links. I eventually noticed the pause button, but I think it would be far more intuitive if you automatically paused the auto-scroll when a user clicks one of those links, as with that action they are showing an interest in that particular service, and probably need time to read the content on that carousel panel.
