P.S. Loving your logo :D

Edit: If you want to start getting traffic maybe start posting on freelance and webdesign related forums with it in your signature and on posts where people are asking to hire someone? at the very least it will give you back links which is good SEO :)

Courses Plus Student 7,548 PointsHey Syrmatenia,
As it's already been said, your portfolio is very good, simple but pleasant colour scheme, well structured responsive content so pretty good indeed,
I understand you're looking for work, so if you want to make yourself known, you might have to do a couple free projects if you haven't already,
Having said that I would also consider registering on People per Hour and Elance, they are top Freelancing websites, you would get good chances to land yourself some projects in there...

P.S: Are you based in London?

Really nice site building skills but you might want to take a look at this:

As a Graphic Design tutor, I always make sure my students don't fall into the traps of current fickle trends, especially the Arbitrary “Skills” Chart. There is nothing worse than showing a potential employer what you ”don't know”. Also, it's impossible to say you know a certain percentage of a programme. The 30% you don't know, might unravel another 50% if you dig deeper!
All the best.
