Urm, a splash page like that might make some visitors think it's just an image and there's nothing to click because there isn't a button. the inside of the website looks good but that 'namecard' keeps creating a different expectation. it keeps on telling me that it's a button to click to request for proposal. you might also want to review the link/hover status you're currently using. the colors might blend well but it deters the assumption to visitors on what's a link and what's not. at least keep the underline.

you might want to consider renaming Gallery to Portfolio because if you want to call it a portfolio, say it's a portfolio. a gallery may be a general definition of an album with images or photos. but it's not suitable being matched to portfolio, works, jobs and etc.

overall, i think it's one of the better websites found today and as you've read my comments, there's room for improvements.

cheers and good luck.

you might want to consider this factor: http://www.webhostingtalk.com.my/viewtopic.php?t=813 regarding Hive hosting.

I'd rather spend a bit more and get a hoster who's been in the industry longer. Names I know of are:
- IPServerOne.com
- KKHost.net
- Easynet-Interactive.com

You pay more but I can be damn sure that these companies have very good reputations.

p/s: If you think I'm trying to earn a buck, nope. I'd rather not earn and make sure your website is reliable and the hoster provides good service than earn a meager RM5. That small cash isn't worth the reputation and performance you need especially being an online portfolio.

cheers.

if we used lists in navigation, the markup is reduced abit. not so many needed DIV tags.
