First up if you insist on using xhtml you should at least serve up the correct mime type to browsers capable of using it (application/xhtml+xml) as an added plus it makes debugging your malformed code much easier.

Its as simple as using php to send the proper head when possible before outputting the page.
Code:
<?php header('Vary: Accept');
if (stristr($_SERVER[HTTP_ACCEPT], "application/xhtml+xml"))
{
   header("Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8");
}
else
{
   header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
} ?>

<html>...</html>


Next, from a purely World wide web consortium recommendation stand point, tables for layout are considered inappropriate. Your site isn't that complex that a proper layout using CSS would not be difficult.

Other than that I like the design, its clean and simple, the only thing I don't really like is the massive image at the top that doesn't change... on my 12" iBook I have to scroll down to see all the content which is kind of annoying.

The load time for the site is high, i am on a 5mb connection and it taken about a minute. Consider using no background for pics and let css or html handle it... Like on the links use the pic you want with no background or something.

Actually, it is acceptable to serve up XHTML 1.0 as text/html for compatibility. See here.

Loading times are fine for me (in US). I'm not a fan of the black&blue color choice, though... personal preference, I guess.

The "form submission result" page when submitting a contact form looks very unprofessional. Oh, same deal with the "quote" page.

Searches only bring up your site... how convienent.

Some images on the portfolio are links and some are not.

Paypal to pay for web hosting? Ugh... how many reselling levels deep are you?

It's easy to navigate for the most part, though, and loads quickly. Just has all of those other issues that would make me never purchase anything from you.
