Please help with feedback on my Portfolio website

I'd try and compress it vertically a bit. I'm running 1280x1024 and I only half the page is visible and it's cut off at an awkward point.
 
I personally do not think much of fellow developers making their site with word press a blog yeah no problem, but not your entire site

Anyone can pay $20 for a decent theme and add contents but how many can really develop from scratch

what is the point of reinventing the wheel when it is not necessary and the application doesn't call for it??

Wordpress is currently the biggest CMS being used. Its possibilities are great and there is so much more you can do with wordpress than just a blog. My portfolio is a custom theme I built from scratch btw.

Thanks for the input guys, appreciate it!
 
Link your logo to the home page.
Get rid of those damn snowflakes.
banner_content_left2.png looks like a second, larger logo, not content.

Point taken but be it as it may

Pietie with his hobby shop can create a word press site for himself as well so what skills are in it ?
 
I am a Web Designer / Wordpress Developer from Cape Town, South Africa, with a passion for creating modern websites, that complies to current web standards. I truly love what I am lucky enough to be doing, and if you hire me, I will ensure that your experience working with me, is a great one!

Too many commas in there, fix it up ...
Get someone to proof read your site too, "that complies" should be "that comply".

Also, remove the "yawn" next to terms and conditions heading and take out the smiley face at the end of the T&C paragraph.

So many clients I have worked with, had websites that date back to the early 90's (in looks and functionality at least). When I start a new project, I make sure that it will be as modern and trendy as can be, so it can last my clients a lifetime!

Seriously .. get someone professional to proof read all of this!!
There's no need for the first comma or any of the commas in that whole paragraph.

I will make sure your website has a very strong showing on Google and other search engines with SEO optimization. If this isn't enough, I will help you dominate the social network scene, using tools like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter!

Here too - "other search engines with SEO optimization" do you mean you the engine have SEO optimization or you will use SEO optimization. Change it round completly to:
Using SEO Optimization, I will make sure your website has a very strong showing on Google and other search engines.

And fixes the comas in the second sentence.

More and more people are using the web on a daily basis and your company's image, is being portrayed by your website. Outplay your competition by winning on the web, with a professional, stylish online presence.

Comma's again ... only one that shoud be there is the one between professional and stylish.

Thanks for the help rward! I have made the changes you suggested. My grammar and punctuation have always been a bit lacking. I blame it on the society we live in! :P

as for byron_spy, you hit the nail on the head when you say Wordpress (one word btw) is easy to develop for. Luckily for me, I am very tall with big feet (its true what they say) so I find that I dont have to compensate for anything with my coding skills.

Which is fair but at the end of the day you have to explain to your clients why they should use you and not just do it them self

If I recall correctly you give yourself out as a WP developer on your site

PS: being tall means nothing as web developer people will constantly judge you on your own site, customers sites and not your personality or the fact that you are tall just my 2 cents
