It looks okay, it says you have 3 years experience but we can't determine that. Im on my iPhone so it looks different to me, since it's a first (from what I see) I'm not going to go through he flaws at the moment.

Seeing as I cannot edit my own post, can a moderator please delete it.
Alright so I'll give me proper opinion when viewing this on a PC based computer using Google Chrome.

On an iPhone using Safari:

Although you're not developing for mobile iOS, it's something to consider.

Website Design:
Let's finally look at the design of your website. The colours are great, the blue and the grey are always a good starting point. Seeing as a lot of websites using the grey as a primary and then a nice red, green or blue as a secondary. You've pulled that one off for the moment. Something that is picking at me is the giant light paintbrush underneath your logo, I'm going to say this quick and painfully - It's horrid. Remove it and it'll look great.

Navigation:
The navigation is easy to read and uses a rollover feature, something that should be able to pull of perfectly. The navigation should be lower in my opinion, but that's just me. Maybe also try and use a different method instead of the whole transparent background. Always try and experiment though!

Your Code:
Let's get down to the heart and soul of this project. I can get a little stubborn as to how it's set out but it looks like you've done it through a program by the looks of it. A lot of the codes for different styles aren't need within the HTML page, you should keep that to the CSS file. You can always add in an extra "class=" for the same thing to happen. Also try using different colours for your HREF tags, the basic looks ugly. Always has for me. Look at one of my old school project designs here (http://mat.6.je/networks/). Although it's really basic, it stands out however look at my source. I don't know how you code - Whether it's using programs such as BlueVoda or Dreamweaver, or using IDEs such as Notepad++ but everyone codes different.

Try and always jot down your ideas and find opinions of others, also try and include a portfolio on your website. I still need to find one that I like yet it can be difficult at times! Anyway, if you need help with anything just send me a PM and I'll help you out!
