Hey guys,

I'm just starting to build my own site, any advice/critique/thrashing is appreciated.

It's valid xhtml 1.0 strict. I've gone for a vibrant look, being a portfolio, it's emphasising the artwork we do.

I'm working on the menu, but feeling an inclination to lean towards flash maybe? They seem more effective, but I may be wrong. The larger black block is for that.

Anyhow, here's the link.

I'm still trying to find a decent CMS system that's not cluttered, so I'll be using my own basic one until then, archiving work into week and month brackets (we get through a lot) so for now the links are dead.

As far as I am aware, it looks identical in IE, Opera, Firefox and Safari.

[edit in edit] That url is being constantly updated, so if it seems broken, just ignore that part.[/edit in edit]

I do like the fact that it's clean and simple, and I like your design, but how do I contact you? Where do you say what you offer?

All these logistical things need to come near the top, then show your work.

So far so good!

I'd be introducing a menu, which'll list the contact info/services/forum etc. That's aimed for the larger black box, just below the main image. Each page will have a different image representing a different motiff.

Those fish are familiar... I'm not sure you need that header part, it doesn't really say much. You'd be better of doing a short blurb about who you are and where you're based, before getting straight to your work, I think.
