need suggestions and pointers on this layout for my portfolio

trying to get the layout down before moving on to creating the other sections, so its only the webdesign section

tell me what you like, what you dont like about:

-multiple color nav buttons
-nav indicator is just the button missing
-mouse over is the same

-bg color selector
-does the site take on too much of the bg color

^these are some of the things im worried about^

Hey Brian just visited your site and its looking good. The site loads a bit slower maybe because there are lot of images loading. But the layout of the site is excellent.

-Multiple color nav buttons looks cool, and the mouse over works perfectly. I like the mouse over on the color background. Overall a superb site.

yeah~ the site really load slow...
the overall design of your site is good.

I like its design and concept. Its color scheme looks nice too.
Great work.

thanks for the input all,
i was worried about it loading slow..

that version is in all .png files because of alot of transparency going on, my .gif version of the site is about half the size

might have to see what I can do about that

nice do you offering these services yet...

i loaded the site today from work, i see how its slow now

i might try to see if i can preload/download all the images from the about me page somehow, since it will be alot smaller and most likely the home page

jyale - im really focusing on this portfolio right now, once completed im surely going to be going after clients. but I have so much on my plate, I have about 3 'for fun' personal sites I still want to complete after this as well (i started on them and then got bored with the idea). so im really trying to stay focused, all of your comments help so much

i might try to define the color scheme a little more before proceeding to other sections

thank you again for those who commented
