Minor Problem on http://pennfolio.com/design/homepage.jpg 1 These buttons look medieval. Critical Problem The layout
I 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 palette
It reminds me Commodore ;)Critical Problem on http://pennfolio.com/design/homepage.jpg 1 You're mixing gradients, bevels, textures and doodles together. It can't go good. Critical Problem on http://pennfolio.com/design/homepage_r1.jpg 1 Hideous! -
Penn Folio commented:Yeah, that's what I have thought... lolz.
Positive Feature on http://pennfolio.com/design/homepage.jpg 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?-
Penn Folio commented:
yeah good point... will think of that...
New Idea on http://pennfolio.com/design/homepage.jpg 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? -
Penn Folio commented:
I'll think of that... thanks!
Other on http://pennfolio.com/design/homepage.jpg 1 Maybe you could post real copy so we could review it too? Summary:
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.

Summary:
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.

Thanks for your feedback!
Minor Problem on http://pennfolio.com/design/homepage.jpg 1 May I suggest a more rich and vibrant green here and other areas where this color is used. Positive Feature on http://pennfolio.com/design/homepage.jpg 1 I like this logo as well as the textured patch behind it. Positive Feature on http://pennfolio.com/design/homepage_r1.jpg 1 Nice call to attention. New Idea on http://pennfolio.com/design/homepage_r1.jpg 1 This texture works. Perhaps a slightly darker gray though? Summary:
Nice work here. Please see notes.

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.
