Lol the different variations of coding between the layouts tells me half are ripped, sorry.

i dont think you made http://www.andrew-oconnor.com/work/layouts/3/

Some comments:

a) Perhaps re-write / re-read a lot of your content I found spelling mistakes, bad sentence structure etc that sends across that you're not professional unless that's what you want.

b) You say on your website "Best if viewed in Mozilla Firefox" if you were a great developer you'd make the website look good in all major browsers.

c) Tidy up your mark-up because if someone looked at your mark-up they could easily see how you code and it's kinda messy / poor, sure most clients won't do this but people who are smart I'm sure will.

d) Another thing that shows you're professional is valid (X)HTML and CSS which unfortunately you fail both tests. Plus by having valid (X)HTML and CSS you can claim to your customers / clients that you're following the W3C guidelines to a degree.

Overall these are things I pick up on, and it's merely my opinion so you don't have to use it. But good luck regardless.

It's very nice. Clean and simple is the way to go.

You're so fast to make assumptions... I actually had those coded because I wasn't so confident in my coding about 2-3 months ago :l

a) You're right, I'll go through it today. If you found some in particular can you let me know? Thanks :P

b) That's true, but I haven't done it for IE6 yet, so I just wanted to throw that in there.

c/d) I'll try and validate it today, see what I did wrong.

Thanks for another constructive comment, I owe you another rep (which reminds me to tell you I gave you the one I owed you)

Then you should clearly state that, the background is the main part of that layout, without it its just a few simple little boxes. A portfolio is supposed to showcase your work, not others. Surely if the background isnt yours then you cant sell it either?

You say how other people rip layouts and have bad designs, look at your own.

Looks okay i suppose.

Right so you're telling me you also designed them? I think not.
