I've started to design a site for myself, which i plan to use as a portfolio (eventually).
What do you think so far?
the under construction page
the entrance page

The home page is too darkish try to reuse your yellow color to render it more vivid.
About the code , you have uesd semantic xhtml + css and that's the right way ...

The entrance page is quite well for me even you should definetely change the rollover effect on enter because is unreadable (the same problem is in the home page menu).

hey thanks for your comments.
i've changed the rollover effect for the links, they now turn the yellow on hover, and grey when active. (instead of the other way around).
I've added a bit of content and stuff too, as for teh colurs of the homepage, i actually quite liked them, the dark colours go well together and the yellow brings a bit of colour in, but its not too harsh a contrast, i thought it complimented it nicely. I was going for a simplistic look too, i dont like alot of gradients or bevels.
thanks again for your commenst though, check it out now if you didnt see teh content & the other pages

I like the rollover but on IE there's a problem with the a:visited style because if you click on the back page
IE button after clicking some menu entries the menu appear as active and not visited.
I hope you understand me.
Keep up the good work

With content added it looks better

Thanks, yeah i forgot about that.
IE is a pain in the ass lol, and so is working cross-browser for that matter.
but oh well, guess ill just get rid of the grey "a:active" then, didnt really add much anyway now that i've thought about it.
thanks again

I really like the entrance page and logo, the main page is a good start but I don't like the navigation, I would rather it be inside the grey area, and also, I don't like the scan lines, maybe try replace those with a navigation bar? just an idea. Good work.
hey thanks for your comments,
i made the navigation that way because i wanted it to be a bit different from everything else, ie at the side or under the header image.
but thanks again, i might get sick of it being there eventually and make a side menu or something anyway

good, make a table with 6 columns, add a background to the table and put the links inside each cell

you wanna make nav using text?

err? not to sound rude or anythin, but i do know how to make a nav.
i think you may have misunderstood me, i meant i wanted to do something OTHER THAN making the nav at the side or horizontal under the banner.

I mean that you should do something like this (using your layout colors, of course)
becouse in your nav. the words are too close to each other
people may don't realize that the words are the nav

Entrance pages overall annoy me, unless you have some huge flashsite behind it that can preload on entrance why do you put it there, an extra page saying enter when you can have it go straight to the point.

I like the entrance page and everything, but honestly why do you need it?

main reason - i wanted an entrance page.
other reason - im possibly going to add some flash in later, depends how i feel.

when the intro finishes, automaticaly redirect to the main page

My suggestion is to have more things going on on the actual page design. There is a lot stuffing going on in the background, but the actual content is presented very plainly.
