I must say, you really held the green down in this layout.

Don't be afraid to branch out to some other colours (like in your examples of services).

Also, you're work seems very interesting, great 3D work, I think you should make a more entertaining layout that compliements your creativeness.

Finally valid XHTML is a must!

Good job overall :P

Why is valid xhtml a must, if a site works fine without it?
Anyway, nice enough, a bit to bright and "naked", if you know what I mean? A bit empty, sort of.

make the gren a little darker and take off that blank space at the bottom after the copyright
I don't really like non-redimensionable pages, but this one it's ok

validation and standards aren't about making your site work/look better or hanging silly little validation badges on it for that matter.

Validation has 3 key words: Speed, Compatibility, and frankly - standards. Standardized coding =better coding.
however....indigo, its not a "must".

Anywho.....i think the site is too flat, and although i like simple sites its too empty. Not a fan sorry.

your page doesn't expand with my resolution
as Almost everyone uses 1024x768 or higher, your page look small
that can be fixed by putting % istead of pixels in the width

Some sites are designed not to expand :)

.Matt I agree to both of your posts here. XHTML is not a must but a choice made by a webmaster that could never hurt but pays off only at certain times (for example, a webdevelopment company would look good coding valid XHTML, for mcolombian's site it wouldn't matter.

I really think the green is too bright, it hurts my eyes almost.
