Default Can someone take a look at my portfolio site

Howdy folks!

I need someone to take a look at my site and let me know what they think. This is only the second website i've even made so be gentle. I'm beginning to freelance and decided that I would try to make my own site instead of paying someone. The site isn't finished yet, I just need some opinions before I go on to build the portfolio and contact sections. Thanks!

It's much better but to be honest the first one wasn't that bad, (I've seen worse).

Your design work is really nice so make sure the site is about the work and not the website design. I like the clouds in the header but it takes up more space than your featured work which makes no sense to me.

A little bit about the coding I'll never understand is the

Code:
    <p>Graphic Design<br />
      Logo Design<br />
      Brochures<br />

    Letterheads<br />
    Illustration<br />
    Flyers<br />
    Business Cards<br />
    Beauty Retouching<br />
    *Ask about identity packages<br />
You shouldn't need breaks just use padding or margins on the divs or type style sheets.

The best thing about the new design is you don't have to scroll as much and that's maybe the key, make sure people get to the work first.

(Welcome aboard)

Hey thanks, I appreciate the feedback! Yeah I'll change the code for the middle section soon, I just rushed that part just so i could get something in that section. The featured work section is a tad small because I didn't think the size would matter. You would have to click on some sort of thumbnail to see the larger version so it shouldn't matter how big the thumbnail is. They won't be that small in the actual portfolio section.

Again, thanks for the feedback, glad to be here!
