    Okay, so this is a project I have been working on for the past few weeks.
    I want to use this site both as a portfolio for my work (To show my tutors I haven't been slacking off on my year out), and also I guess to show others when I start full time employment. I also want to use this site to start up a part time web design business for myself over the next couple of years whilst still in education.

    So I guess I just want to see what you guys all think of it. I know it lacks color! But I wanted to go for the whole black/ white style.
    I still have a blog system that I've wrote with in built search and commenting etc. that isn't up yet. I'm just tweaking it, and making sure it is secure. This blog also posts to my portfolio section, which is why that part isn't up online yet.

    Infact, only about half the pages are up online, but it's not so much the content I am worried about yet. (So please ignore the vast amount of grammar and spelling mistakes :D)

    I'm not looking for any 2 word reviews such as good site... I want to know why it is / isn't!

    Thanks in advance! :)

    Thanks for the review!
    I'm not a master of SEO or anything like that, but I did try hard to make it as good as I could do. So I'm glad someone noticed it! :)
    And I think I will change that black image to a photo of myself. I'll have to have a think about it.

    Thanks, and +1 rep :)

    Sorry, what do you mean it is too simple? Wouldn't it be bad if it was complicated to use?
    After all, my target audience are those who have a limited knowledge of computing, going up to those who probably have more then myself.

    And I think I may need to re think my logo, thanks :)

    I've recently made a lot of changes, and a slight redesign.
    If anyone has any other suggestions, or comments, I'd love to hear.

    Nothing says amateur more then an empty portfolio! Hurry up and get it done. You colors are to sharp as well. Soften it up a bit.

    Run it though the validator; its has a few problems. Otherwise than that you're only issue is with the empty portfolio. good job on the design.
