On a similar note to my answer Adam, I generally load my stylesheets up first to display everything correctly in the <head> section like you have done but in order to add that little bit of speed to the website, I tend to try and put my links jquery and scripts in the footer.

This way all of the content will load and display first. Might only shave milliseconds off of the load speed but every little helps.

Looking pretty nice. For the scripts in the header though, you may as well put them all within the same document.ready() if they are all getting called when the page is ready.

Hey, first up, the send button on the contact me page is not aligned with the rest of the contact form. I also think some more CSS can be added to the contact form to give a more wicked design (clients will be more impressed by your skills if its on display on your own site).

The price and package page is really nice, love the slide in effect on the price packages.

The home page seems a little too plain to me, but then again, i'm a numbers man and am a stronger programmer than designer anyway so maybe its just me. Maybe it will look better once you fill in those boxes with some content.

I'd be interested to see this finsihed. For me, it's just a bit too bleak and simple. Doesn't really show off any design flair or super wicked dev skills.

Your strapline is "breaking the mould" so...break the mould with your own site.

Ok, so someone agrees with me. i think a #f2f2f2 background color will help spice it up instead of a full white.

Thanks Jenry, I changed the background colour and it makes a massive improvement .
