You need to somehow highlight the links (web, print and video) as I didn't realise I couldn't click on them at first and thought you only had a contact link.

Definitely needs some prompting that the portfolios are viewed view the words. Don't underestimate how dumb some people can be... it took me a while to realise there was work to view. I know this has already been said but I just thought I'd reiterate.
I'm not hugely excited by your typography on the main page. It looks wrong somehow. A bit Powerpointy, a bit word processy in the tracking and kerning.
To go with a bold typographic opener like that I would really look hard at the letter spacing, word spacing and character kerning and make it sing.
Otherwise though, nice and refreshing. Simple, clean, good.

Also, it needs to say
Are you a new client?
(Link to info email)Are you an existing client
(link to Ben or Ian email)Or are you just a designer looking for ideas?

Can you make the text and logo a bigger.
- Wolfboy0
I lkes it. I would agree with the point that the links needs to just be brought out slightly so you are aware of them when just reading the copy.
also, could you put a next and back option on the samples when you open one to view? If all you are doing is looking at separate pieces of work I think it would make sense to be able to jump to the next piece without having to close the one you're looking at and opening the next one.
But as I say I like it in general and those are nit picking gripes.

I like the simplicity but comments I have are:
• Show the links with a slight variation of colour or what ever anyone else said.
• I want a next button on the work instead of having to close and open each piece.
• The logo is awful

I really don't like it, the main intro text is just a bit too ragged and oversized. I can see what you're trying to do but I feel that when you click the web/print bit and the folio work scrolls in, it's a bit underwhelming being presented with such small thumbnails of your work when you've set your stall out on the homepage with the giant text.
The work thumbs should bigger and more inviting. Also, as you're using some sort of scrolling, perhaps you could continue loading the pictures in place rather than in a lightbox?
These guys do a good example of a simple, scrolling site. http://www.hotmeteor.com/ and perhaps making a little more of your work wouldn't hurt.
That's my two pence at least, hope it helps!

I'm not keen either, don't like the home page, agree with jamble, it just looks cumbersome!
Don't like having to click on the thumbnails and wait for image to load, there are better ways to show your work, and then having to click back on the thumbnails, needs a next/previous and if you are gonna have photographs of your work, I'd keep the tattoos out of the shot!!

Like the boldness of the homepage thing but it lacks some call to action/motivation to see more: you are basing your message on those three copy lines which are pretty dull. And there is nothing that let the user think that in someway you're special/interesting.
Especially considering there's no visible call to action.(and what the others said about the thumbnail gallery)

I like it, but the nav is non existent. It was only luck I rolled over the text. I would take the nav away from the main body of text.

great work. love it.
- Jnr_Madison0
bah.
- that's it? bah? i think i can really work with this feedback. thanks douchebag.benvrazo
- jimzyk0
i like it,
same as previous people said and add a prev / next link in work section.nice work tho!
- Terminal270
I like it. Bold and simple.
Not so keen on the thumbnails. They look rushed... Maybe some crops would work better so you had some interesting detail in the image?

Liked the work.
Am unsure why the O and W in GrOW are upper case. Unless there is a reason (has to be a very valid reason), don't do it.
Didn't like 'talk' button opening my email client.
- the significance comes from the r being small. its supposed to represent the client and how we will help them "grow" so they can stand next to larger, more established companies.benvrazo

I think for this to work it needs a few things.
1. like others I thought the yes/no was the entry point to the site, being this your only call to action maybe it should be.
2. I hate it when link pop open a new email unexpectedly. If the link is for email tell me so. "Talk" implies contact info like a phone number, no?
3. links need to have their own look. Underline, color, bold, whatever.
4. With this type of site, I would rather it was done in Flash. With this little going on I think the execution has to be tight and precise.

might be cool to have something grow and then from that have options for actions. vine growth is cliche already but since grow is a verb it might be nice to see something moving since you obviously have skills in that discipline. I like it better today with the changes you made but it is a little static to me since it says 'Grow'
