Get rid of the transitions, they are annoying...

You should create a form for the contact page, rather than just the email link...you will get a lot of spam and junkmail if you publicly display your email address...

Some of the services need a little bit more of an explanation as to what you get, like the 'Single HTML file'...what do you get with this?

The banner should be above the navigation so the links are more noticeable...

You need to work on your grammar a bit, perhaps ask someone to proof-read your pages before publishing them...

You should create a page called 'Services' and list all of them on that one page, instead of at the bottom of each page...

Overall, it's just a bit plain (design-wise)...a few tips:

Make the background a different color...doesn't need to be bold or wild, just not white...
Make the navigation links change somehow on hover...it's easily done with CSS and can add a bit of snazz to your site...

Other than that...I like your logo/banner thing, and it seems to be set up fairly well. Good luck with your business. Wink

YOu can do better with the Navigations, and reallign some centering things, add up some flare to the body part too!

Get a design - at the moment it is just text on a page with a logo thrown on it. If you are wanting to be taken as a professional designer you really need to use your site to show that you can do just that. It doesn't have to be full of stunning graphics or flash work but a simple design with good navigation.

Some basics:

Logo should go at the top of the page, navigation underneath
Navigation should be your main areas, things like awards are not important!
Don't centre text, it makes it harder to read and looks unprofessional
Put all your CSS into an external style sheet - much easier for global changes
Why are you using font tags? Everything should be in your stylesheet!
Title Tag - this is important for SEO, put your main keywords in there at the beginning
Don't use transitions - very, very, very outdated & irritating
If you are offering things like graphics make sure you are good at them!

Sorry to be blunt and I know we all have to start somewhere but have you actually researched this at all and seen what your competition is doing??

I'm seeing default serif fonts on here. That's got to go.

Overall I pretty much agree with the Webmistress. For a web design site this just isn't up to snuff. There isn't even a real interface here - just a logo and quickie navbar.

The logo is actually pretty good. Just optimize it better so it doesn't look so fuzzy like that and maybe let up on the shadows and stuff. Something flat and sleek would be good. You could really go with the celestial theme in the design. I'd like to see more blue used here as well.

It might be neat to sort of sprinkle stars around. Not too liberally, just here and there in the background.

I like the site, it is a simple layout, clean and with a confortable atmoshpere, i like the lack of FANCY graphics for us dial-up users who will spend all day on a site just trying to get it to load.

Way to go.

HAHA,
Working on some sites that are of better quality!

Not bad, but the space on either side of the content should be either used or trimmed down.

Also I feel the 'times new roman' font could be improved to a 'verdana' font instead or similar.

Other than that Its pretty effective!
