    Stick with one style

    Many random trends are going around the web recently, such as artistic headers, simplicity, twitter inclusion, and gradients. You have bunched all these up into 1 website.

    The header is nice, and although simple and small, I saw the subtitle work out nicely with it.

    The nav is a complete miss, with (what looks like) varying distances between one nav item and another. Also, it is dark blue on white, but the font is a thing font which makes it a pain for reading. Give some grayer background to isolate the text (globally, so on p text too!) and then get a wider font.

    Get more advanced with Current Projects, and get some whitespace there, seeing as it is touching the top headslap. Try reading some jquery tutorials out there!

    Lose the gradient on portfolio, and get some basic stuff going there, no grand images, but thumbnails with a lightbox gallery or something. You're designing it, but still....

    Lastly, I like it. All you have to do is make it work together, but then again, you look like you've got style!

      Also, the inside dropshadow for the portfolio is not very consistent with the art-deco header. Can you make the menu oblique, to follow the last green line of the roof?
