Things I noticed:
1. The Nav links blury
2. Loads kinda slow
3. Needs some color
4. Don't like the scroll bar always on the right of the content box, would perfer it only if there was somewhere to scroll to.
5. The frame you are displaying it in is small

But hey not to bad.

Hope that helps,
Cuda

It's okay,

1) I hate having to click something to go to the main page.
2) Your main page opens up with out any of the browsers features (menu, buttons, address), again whats the point.
3) Only show a scroll bar when you can actually use it. Personally I would get rid of it and just show all the text.


Good Luck

Along the lines of the other responses:

First and foremost, KILL the popup - it does absolutely nothing but create additional steps for accessing the actual site, and limits the amount of space you have to work with once you have content.

Beyond that, expand the interface and give yourself a little breathing room. Pull the styles out of the actual page into an external CSS file. Clean up the graphics in the nav and fix the "alt" tags in the nav (right now they say "news", "bios", "contacts" and "contacts"). And add in an accent color or something to give the site a little life.

no-one, but no-one will buy from a site that pops up in your face. Another thing, the graphic looks too similar to other freelance designer's logos such as inkworm's. You need to be able to show the very best that you can do on the front page, and that graphic just doesn't hit you in the face with the wow factor.

Theres a lot of competition and I didn't find the navigation easy to read (might just be me) also having a slow site that takes ages to load on a free server says to me that either theres very little experience and your not willing to put customers first, when I see a site hosted by a free service, I think student straight away and would be happier spending money with a reputable company.

You need to beat these bad misconceptions if you think your gonna make any money at all. You need to show me that you have done work before and that this work is good.

I agree with everybody else here, and would also like to add that if you are going for professionalism, an AIM handle such as "theloseriam..." doesn't convey a very professional image.
Personally I wouldnt buy from somebody based on that alone.
