Constructive criticism for website

    Hey!

    I've been designing a new website for myself for quite a while now and I'm releasing it on Friday. I've asked a few friends for constructive criticism but I also figured to ask you guys. So if you have any ideas/suggestions how to improve the site please let me know. I'd really appreciate it!

    As you can see, it's running on Cargo, some of you are familiar with it. I have a domain so the site will have a custom url when it's released.

    I'd say the site is about 99% finished at the moment and because I'm gonna release it on Friday, I'm not gonna do any major changes. So I'd like you to focus on little details.

    A friend of mine suggested that I'd put Facebook, Twitter etc icons on the "Get in touch" page instead of text. What do you think?

    Thanks in advance!

    It's very simple and clean. I was not sure what "century" meant. I would prefer your name be used there, even if it's just your first name alone. That word century I was confused by. I really like the blue "hire me" spot, but it's really hidden off to the right-hand side. Also, at first glance, it really feels like you are more of a photographer than anything. Not sure if that was the point or not, since your typography and logos are really quite good.

    I am not a fan of the hire me spot...it seems to not fit with the look of the site

    I think the site looks good. Simple, clean and direct to the point.

    maybe it makes more sense now when the url is http://www.centurydesigns.net? (it redirects to portfolio.centurydesigns.net though because Cargo can't host mail and FTP so I have to use a subdomain cos otherwise Cargo would mess up everything.)
    That's the name I've been using always and it's also a registered company name. So it's sort of like D-Dub Designs and Daniel Wagner if you're familiar with him.

    What's your screen size? Could you send me a screenshot of the page?

    Well it's definitely not the point.. Thanks, I'll have to give the thumbnails a thought!

    others, thanks for feedback too!
