there's far too much text on the frontpage, far too many things going on, and to make it worse, not much white space making it far too busy overall.
it's not about whether your client likes it, of course they have to too, but whether your client's (potential) clients are going to like it.
Your comment is off base
I disagree with this comment.
I think it's safe to say that the client knows his clients better than you or the Drupal consultant do. He's therefore better qualified to determine whether there are too many words on the page.
Most contexts suffer from a "wall of words". Some benefit from it.
Even if that's not the case here, remember the adage: "The customer isn't always right. But the customer is always the customer."
But back to the site design itself...
I'm curious why you used Garland as a base theme instead of something like Zen. Not that it's a problem -- I would NEVER have guessed this is Garland without looking at the source! But why?

you take it completely wrong, also Drupal consultant? what about web designer?
too much text and not much white space go against basic design principles that any and every designer should know. it's pretty common knowledge that website users dislike this sort of design - there's no way that a lawyer knows that sort of stuff, but a web designer should know it.
I also disagree that a business knows his customers, as a professional marketer I've seen the reality of this more often than not.

Good. Except a few things:
Good. Except a few things: I'd loose the orange arrows and give more contrast to the "Featured clients and testimonials" and the other text. Underline them too, and then you don't need "read more>>" in tiny text. homepage text is slightly small imo. Like the dude on the phone too, except again I'd add make the text (caption) stand out more. Otherwise, it blends with the white shirt and the photo looks like a $1 stock photo.
