Comments:
  • The footer is out of line, in IE at least//someone has to check Firefox because I need to redownload it.
  • I think the GIF of the envelope is moving too fast
  • There is one link/image that doesnt work/show up
  • I dont think having the three videos playing at once is a good idea as it is hard to focus on the techniques
  • Maybe use a gradient for the body
  • But, I also think it is pretty good for a first site.
Keep up the good work and effort that you have put in!

Please dont take my comments the wrong way. They are just opinions and thoughts which you may neglect.

The footer is sticking out to the to the right in Firefox, and Safari as well.

Firebolt already said this, but I agree the envelope is distracting.

The three slide shows on the homepage all going at once, is quite a lot, what if you they just played when you hovered over them?

I wouldn't have the little moving email gif there on the left hand bottom corner. It's a little annoying.

How much of the HTML did you do yourself? If you didn't do that much of it I suggest you start learning HTML, it's very beneficial and not hard. It also makes it so that you have complete control over the look and feel of your web site.

Keep at it.
