Not bad, pretty basic tho.
Your li & p are different colours and looks disjointed.
Your address font looks out of place.
& your logo doesnt utilise your header space adequately.

First thoughts...

Thanks for your comments.

It's designed to look clean and uncluttered and I've used the courier font to give it some differentiation. Also, I've deliberately used a slightly darker colour for the li, again for some differentiation.

Not bad, but my thought is that you should make your heading more centered and larger to take up that white space by the logo, and I don't think the courier font adds anything to the heading. Using it in your address is enough. I would use a darker grey colour for your text, same as for the bullet points.

On your contact page, do you really need the same information on the left and the right of that page?

pink spider but nothing is pink
logo is a little hard to read

text needs a bit more contrast and could be a touch bigger
would prefere coloured links as well (not just on hover)

it all looks a bit light and a bit grey - nav bar as a darker background could work

transitional dtd? why's that then?

why are the portfolio images (for web design) so heavy? from half a mb to 1mb

your own photo is a fireworks png and is way too large - remember to export from fireworks and use jpegs for photos also try adjusting the levels (drag the black slide to the beginning of the histogram - to bring the black levels up a bit and you'll get a better image


the layout is clean but that black/grey/red combo reminds me of an old version of adobe/agfa/print sites.

why the duplicated nav at the bottom? put links and terms in the copyright info instead

Others are totally right,I couldn't see any pink there as well as the fonts,even the color. I would add you can do much better on your BG!

I totally see what you were going for with the minimalist look. I like your logo too, its like an 80's or saved by the bell style font haha, but I wonder it seems to go against the rest of the site...

I thought the same about the font used in the logo, it looked like it is from the 80's.
I would try and incorporate some images on the front page, even if it is just some thumbshots from your portfoilio. It looks a bit too bland.

I agree, especially if it's a landing page. Seeing nothing but text is a little daunting - it's like looking at a book you don't want to read. It might even deter users? If there we're images from your portfolio or images of your staff it might make the site more personable and easier to approach and make the user want to explore.

Just at thought! All the best -Andy
