I think for a starting webdesign business, your site lives up to the task. It's a nice, clean design. Especially background looks very nice! The only thing about the design I would change right away is the font for the copyright statement, in my browser (safari), it shows in sometime like times new roman, this really looks very bad.

Something I am just wondering about, in the add on the landing page you advertise a 6 page website for $89 pounds. Now, I don't know exactly what you're offering (including CMS, template-engine or maybe not) but I know from experience that for starting web companies you have make sure, your prices aren't too low. Because if they are, people just will not take you seriously.

Good luck with your business!

Overall, it is a good, clean design. I'm going to agree with monty that the font should be changed. It doesn't fit in with the rest of the page.

I'm not a fan of flash menus. Not everyone has flash installed, and I find them slightly annoying.

My last suggestion would be to add thumbnails to the portfolio page.

really nice site with nice template

the only thing i'll change is the text of the bottom text where it says copyright ... make it go along with the template

also the flash is ok but that drives visitors away from your site

good luck

Nice flash animation and a cool background. As mentioned above, just change the text at the bottom of the page where it says Copyright...

Everything looks sweet except for these things:

The page is too long for all of the pages.
Under portfolio you should have some text on inital load/pictures.
The links on portfolio should not be basic blue/purple.

Other than those three things I love it. You have a good load time and nice look and feel to the site.
