try making that upper picture a bit smaller because you need to scroll so that you can see the actual site.
i ususaly don't like flash websites because the are slow loaders.

The blue text on a black background is too hard to read, the metallic background is just plain ugly, the borders in your header just don't belong there and the buttons don't fit in at all.
My advice to you, my friend, is to redesign it all, try getting some inspiration from other great webpages you really like and take some tutorials in webdesign here at P2L.
I'm sorry if this was to harsh, but keep designing - nobody get's it right before they've had a lot of failures

The background in many places has gone all jaggy and doesn't look smooth for me in Bon Echo alpha two, and the matallicness in it gives it an awful look, the buttons aren't too good and you should have used Flash to make them rollover or even just CSS and also the quality of the button images seem to be really low and also they don't appear smooth.
The blue text is rather hard to read and really doesn't go with Black background, also the image on the content box just tops the site off and makes me not want to re-visit, although the background render is nice it is still rather off-putting for me.
The coding also could do with something more inputted into it using a nice XHTML strict markup with a clean CSS layout would make it 10 times better as long as you improved your image quality.

Check tutorials, visit websites and take a look at what you do like and what you don't.
Cheer up!

Just keep on working, my first webpage was coded in notepad, a bit of background-color and some text, and I was SO proud! If I'd let others critique get to much to me, I wouldn't acheived what I have today.
Good luck with your next try!

this is my first attempt at making a professional style website for myself, what do you think? I know it lacks in content but I just started..
Dirkblack.com
I totally replaced everything, starting with a template, does it look any better now?

Worst thing on the page: The bevel and emboss in the ""home, about me"-pictures.
Man, people will soon recognize me at these forums as the "Bevel and emboss-hater".

I hope this point helps, because it was handed down to me and really helped me improve my design.

I just sugest making off that drop shadow from the header imges, that drop shadow makes hard to read
try using plain design at the fonts, don't mess up too much with them
overall its ok, just careful with the fonts
