Few points from a brief look;

1. UKWDA logo's are generally an instant indication of poor quality (a stereotype maybe, but it's normally true).
2. Some shockingly bad stock photography being used there
3. Frames? Please
4. What's an "internet web site" and how is that different from a web site?
5. Horrible source code

I'm sure it'll probably do if you're looking to get local small businesses as clients but it's very dated.

dont like the header background, it doesn't look like staffordshire.

what they said.

I've been sat hear for at least 20 seconds tryin to think of something constructive to say. I'd definitely try some extra line height. and possibly learn to build a website properly. Things have moved on since 1997 when it seems you started on your new media adventure.

other than that I think it looks very cheap which will probably go down well with your potential clients.

and it's businesses not business's

And in this case, completely true.

Based on your copyright date, I would say your well overdue for a site and skills update.

haha I read "Gavin was born in early 2003", thought he's doing well for a 3 year old.

Site looks really dated mate, have a look through our 'great designs' forum for some samples of nice portfolios.

Nice try AJay but to be honest I'm not feeling none of it...at all!

Check out www.alvit.de/handbook. Instead of looking at designers sites go to a source such as this.

You can learn a lot from here.

Nice to see someone who understands it's not personal.

There's the Internet. Then the Web, which is a piece of the Internet. Then, thanks to the l33t kiddies, we have "teh intarwebs!" Sigh. Tools.
