If you actually provide a link, people will be more likely to visit. (Instead of having to type in the URL by themselves - lazy bunch! :D )

wakeup - wake up and fix your footer to the proper size. Or I will have to hook you up with the ever so fashionable error footer.

On the home page, I found it a little odd that the words in black text were links and the words in blue were nothing... I tried clicking on the blue words.

Other than that it was easy enough to navigate and find what I was looking for. I haven't looked at it extensively, but that's my first impression.

clean and simple—it works.

Couple things.

1. Center your navigation options on the bar. They could be bumped up a tad so they are horizontally centered with the bar. It's not a complete eye-sore, but I noticed this, and it bugged me. HAHA :D

2. Secondly—it seems VERY heavy on the left hand side. Meaning, the two birds are very vivid and colorful—my eye is immediately drawn to them, (not a bad thing) but because you also have your personal package banner ad on the left hand side, the composition feels heavy on the left hand side. Try switching it to the right, and aligning your text to the left with your header and nav bar.


edit: It's just the homepage that seems heavy. Went through the rest of your site—and it's consistent and works. Other pages, were there is more content, the composition of the site is more well-balanced. So I guess you could leave the homepage as-is so you don't screw up your consistency.

That's all :D

Here's a tip. You don't have to post your portfolio to have an impressive, convincing site. I've found in the past that it actually confuses potential clients to be confronted by a list of anonymous companies and their websites. The site itself is great as it is and I recommend posting a link requesting people to contact you for a client list. In some cases, that makes it more serious than other sites who display their clients work as a sort of safety anchor.

Ah, and more illustrative visuals also help, like process flowcharts with nicely illustrated graphics. Always gets em.

You need to give the links a move obvious stand out.

Otherwise good.
