Hey man-
I agree with what some people have said about the PDFs on the homepage. I thought that was the only way you were showing your work. The only reason I investigated further was because I'm criting it. I think the drop-down is the wrong way to go, honestly. I read your defense of your choices, but if you had it all figured out, there was really no reason to ask for a crit. Take the advice and ditch the drop-down. Design a functional nav- you have the space.The work itself is great. I don't think there's anything wrong with the way you've set up the site. It's an online resume for you. It doens't have much personality- but that's ok. Straightforward is the way to get certain clients. I would be careful about how you represent yourself though, simply because the site look corportate, and gives the impression that you are a firm. I know it's not stated anywhere that you are a firm, but the site is given that treatment. I think the reason people are coming down on your style is because a freelancer posing as a firm is kinda lame.
Also- did you really trademark that phrase, "The Meaning is the Message"? Just wondering.
Overall- extremely decent.
