Hi Ben,
Can i firstly say that i like your use of colours and your site looks great!
I see there is a :nbsp at the begining of your page title, i don't know if this was done on purpose or not but you don't need it (just a little thing!!!).
You may want to consider moving your to an external stylesheet, in order to give you more control over the full site, which means that any changes that need to be made to the full site need only be made to the one stylesheet.
Also you may want to think about using css for your layouts instead of tables.
I am in the process of converting my site to css layouts and its not too difficult.

Awesome job with the website, and I do like the color scheme.
My only two suggestions:
1. Make the page background a fixed background.
2. Take off that 5 pixel pink stroke effect around the links and logo text and just see if you can get away with just having the white text there. If it contrasts too much with the dark background then re-apply a stroke, but make it about 1 to 2 pixels and make it a light gray, perhaps #D3D3D3 or #B3B3B3, something like that.
Cheers,
me

Nice, simple, clean! Not a bad site at all, although I prefer xhtml and css, it works.
Good job and nice profile too!

I like your style, the use of rounded corners and im totally digging your use of color. The sites also do not look like your standard "box" design. good work

Hey Guys, thanks so much for the feedback. Very appreciated.
Would anyone be able to lead me to somewhere where I can learn how to transition over to using CSS for my layouts instead of just Tables?
Thanks again!

That's an excellent place to start. You WILL become to hate tables for presentation there...hate, hate, hate ...as divs are your friend.
It'll also help you with removing this...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">'to this...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN">'Which is a sign of a professional web designer now.
Once you get a hang of it, you'll never go back. Everything is cleaner, and one (or 2, if you wish for an IE specific) stylesheet to fix everything with.

great site! I would suggest simplifying the layout//there's a lot going on visually on the home page and you might want to move some of this content to other pages
at the bottom, make sure that your email address is clickable (insert it as a layer with , not just an image

I don't really like the colors. They are kinda depressing. Please change the colors. It still has to be fixed.

I will first say how much I liked the interaction with the mouse over for the other websites. I will also tell you that you have a real good color scheme. I would have to say the only real thing I saw that I would change myself would be the size of the site the length I mean it seems just a bit short and cut off.

Design wise sweet very nice looking site, but coding wise the are really bad, loads of javascript which I hate to se being used unless absolutly necisary which it was not, also when you do use javascript it should be kept in a seperate javascript file and called for rather than having it in with your HTML/XHTML file, it uses tables for layout which is a big no no.

I agree the design from an aesthetic standpoint looks great.
You should give yourself a better site map, the graphical one is good but the important one is the on that shows up at the bottom of the page, it is an SEO trick to link your whole site to every page on it, so by doing a site map that appears on every page you are linking to every page on your site on every page.

very clean and easy to navigate, but there is something i don't like about the wayt the portfolio is presented. it looks to much like news headlines or blog entries. would it be possible to just have one line for each item and have them appear as images or bullets?

Nice and clean, easy navigation. Although you only have 4 pages to navigate, so navigation would be pretty hard to botch. Gradient/glow happy, although thats okay in this web 2.0 age
All in all, pretty good. I like.

Hi,
I like the structure of the website. Everything is nicely organized and displayed. It was easy to navigate from page to page using the top menu. I really like the colour scheme that you chose for the website.
The only issue that confused me at first was the main purpose of the website. I thought at first that your site was promoting other websites. The website seems a little bit compact in terms of width size. Perhaps you can increase the width of your website and decrease the size of the left and right margin space.

I like the layout and the colors, but I think the shiney technique is a little overrated. Great job though.
