| 1 | These buttons look medieval. |
| Critical Problem | |
The layoutI don't mean to be sarcastic, but it's a 1000th time I've seen this layout: logl, horizontal nav, slider, 3 columns. Delete your inspirational links, stop looking through themeforest. Think which information is important to your clients, prioritize it, design a page according to priorities, not some preselected layout. | |
The color paletteIt reminds me Commodore ;) | |

| 1 | You're mixing gradients, bevels, textures and doodles together. It can't go good. |

| 1 | Your clients have probably no clue about any of this. This element won't help convincing them. Don't use capital letters all the time. |
| New Idea | |
One page?Your website isn't big and if you don't plan on blogging professionally you should really think about the concept of one page site. I suppose there is little content on your page, so why overcategorize and complicate it?

| 1 | Videos work well for marketing purposes. Maybe you'd be better off to put video on top, and move portfolio to some other, less visible space?

| 1 | Maybe you could post real copy so we could review it too? |
It's a small page with little content, so there isn't that much to review. Live preview could also be helpful. In my opinion you replicated a concept that is sooooo overused and boring, and still it doesn't look good. My advice: drop it and start from scratch! Making it work under wordpress is also too much work for the effect you want to achieve.
Good luck whatever you choose
Hi Chris, I greatly appreciate you for your feedback. It's still hard for me to decide if i'll be starting to scratch... but I also like some of your points. Thanks again.. really appreciate it.
Logo is fine. I agree we need to see a live preview as you have not got a full browser preview of your website. Slider showcasing your designs is nice and centered i take it, nice touch.
added a large preview in it..., I had some problem uploading the image here, i dunno why..
Thanks for your feedback!

| 1 | May I suggest a more rich and vibrant green here and other areas where this color is used. |

| 1 | This texture works. Perhaps a slightly darker gray though? |
Nice work here. Please see notes.
Thanks Christian! I have a new mockup for my portfolio, I hope you can give feedback. Thanks for your feedback here.
Thanks. I do agree that it's kinda generic. But I'm also finding a way to make it unique as much as possible. My works would probably my number one priority in my design.
