You might want to cut down on the images of the work and just show maybe 1 image per project. Maybe add more copy about the problem the client faced and how you helped solved their issues, and what the results where of you helping them. Overall nice start. Would just have someone check over all the copy. Seems like you had one thought and then change it in mid sentence. I'm horrible with Grammar myself. I just ask people to review my work before I go live.

I saw this last week sometime - the one detail that really bugs me, and it's really only very minor, is the wing on your bird - why's it in the background? imo, it should poke in front of your buttons.
But that's just me.
- But then I wouldn't be able to show off my transparent .pngs - you have a point dude.ianjamescox
- np. As long as you don't cover your text link, you only need amend the z-index, no?detritus

5 years agency experience.....poor sense of design, I'm sorry but I can't say more. "I'm a design and built creative", English isn't my mother tongue but it seems incorrect to me

too web 2.0, too arbitrary, spread too thinly and veerle-esque (http://veerle.duoh.com/)
basically just comes across as soulless and feels like a design by committee job

Not sure I agree with "show maybe 1 image per project"
I want lots of images of projects when I look through a portfolio. At least 3 so I have a basic understanding of the design. 1 image cannot adequately showcase a design.
Do agree on improving the copy. Maybe you can check out a local university, they often have writing tutors you can hire to help you improve.

"Experience vrs University"
Is this how they do it across the big lake? I thought it was universally written as "vs."

You ask how I'm doing on your site, but provide me with no way to respond.

I'm not understanding why you have chosen to put a vignette on your samples. Makes no sense at all to me.
