all the links in your work examples are dead cos you've got the question mark in the wrong place in your url string

Site is nice and clean, not sure about the pink but heyho.

codewise you need to look at your header tags. you should only have 1 H1 tag. it's not a biggy not it's not good practise eh.

Best of luck with your freelancing.

looks ok... but a little bland. Nice works tho and the site doesnt get in the way of them which I presume is the point?

I'd do a spell check tho' found this doing a quick scan: This site meets the requirements laid out by the W3C in thier accessibility guidelines

looks ok. the stock photo on the homepage with the mouse, cup, and laptop does nothing. you'd be better starting the page with the statement about yourself first.

on the work pages, the screenshots would look much better bigger and the full width of the column. and without the cheesey laptop shots.

I also think the bloke illustration would look much better on the homepage inplace of the "how I made this" rubbish.

agree... that illustration kind of stood out for me - maybe try and incorporate more of the same?

Have you got permission from the design angencies or the company you did the work for to display this in your personal portfolio? - http://www.djgd.co.uk/portfolio.php?id=11

You have stated that you did actually do the work at the design agency, but I'm just interested to know as I would like to display work I do at my job in my personal online portfolio.

I'm guessing but I think it's probably something to do with all the backslashes.

When I buid url strings with php, I much prefer to separate strings from variables, and then add them in turn. A bit more code but no errors either.

<?
$url = "portfolio.php?";
If ($d) {
$url .= "sect=";
$url .= $d;
$url .= "amp;"
}
$url .= "id=";
$url .= "$row[s_id]";
$title = $row[s_name];
?>

<a href="<?=$url?>" title="<?=$title?>">\n

Yes I have, there is work I've done for other agencies which I cannot show online.
