Hey guys, I'm new so I thought I'd start off by showing you my website. I made it in hopes of getting some summer employment for some companies in my area, to make some money for university 
It's the first time I've ever had to do a website in a professional kind of way, so some of the literature parts may not match very well - hopefully you can help me out 
Anyways, enjoy if possible:

Don't hold back, let your thoughts flow - negative or positive!

Good 'services' page.
For your contact page, use text boxes instead of just an email link. This is what nearly all pros use as it is easier for a possible client to respond with.

It looks pretty good, though I'm not fond of the big black text. It's also a little plain aswell.

Looks very nice! Just a couple of things you may wish to change:
1) Background color, make it a little bit lighter so that your page stands out a bit better.
2) Add a bit of padding in the portfolio table so the text doesn't go right up against the black border.
3) Headings: Maybe increase font size by a pixel on your headings, or indent them a few pixels, or increase line-height by a couple pixels. No need for drastic color or font changes, just make them stand out a biiiit more.
Aside from that, I can't really think of anything, I think it's a well-designed site, simple but gets the message across without bogging down the user. Nicely done 
-- edit --
I just noticed the privacy/legal links! Make them stand out they're almost impossible to see, maybe put them centered underneath ur main layout

Baton-twirling in the parade of color.

You need to fix your preloader. Upon clicking some links, weird gray boxy stuff happened. Not sure what's going wrong, but take a look at it in Mozilla and try and solve it.
Furthermore, the little fonts you use in the corner of the header, whether it is or not, looks like a pixel font, and as such, it seems like an antialiased one. Which just looks bad. Remove the AA?
But really, the combination of clean + grunge kinda' combines in a way that is sort of appealing..
Oh, but fix the shadows on those column tables. They seem messed up on top..

the design part is really really nice, but the problem is that you need some more coding, like roll overs :P

i think u need different rollovers now
i dont think there is enough red in your site to use such bold rollovers..
