    Web design looks nice and clean!

    I like the colors you used. One thing you should do is decrease the shadow by a bit that you used for iStudio, Welcome, Latest Update, Design Tools, and Latest Logo text.

    Very nice layout for sure. Clean and simple, I like it.

    I would consider introducing another highlight color and use it very sparingly. I like the blue and white, but a contrasting highlight color might make things pop a little bit more and look less duotone.

    Good job! Let us see the final design.

    Fade the grey symbols in the background on the white more. They show through the text too much.

    I would try to make your structure more defined. Maybe add a background behind the menu so it doesn't blend in with your content area.

    Not the easiest site design to review with the highly opaque watermark all over it but I will try :

    Colour Scheme
    Blue is a very over-used colour in web site design but that isn't to say that it doesn't look nice. It is a pleasant shade although I feel it could use another 1 or 2 colours as accent colours just to help it lose any monotony.

    Layout
    I think that the way the site is laid out is very sensible and clean. My eyes are moving around the page in such a way that I read your content first before the side areas, which is good.

    One downside is that none of the areas are really defined, they all seem to merge into one.

    Overall
    The design has a lot of promise and is nice to view. One thing I would like to say is that this site - being a portfolio - is your one chance to impress your potential clients. Your site needs to stand out and say 'look how creative I can be, hire me hire me!' Using such a monotonous colour palette doesn't say this, it says 'bland' at least to me. Maybe try experimenting some more.

    Very nice start though!

    Davey.

    lol, those are watermarks so no one steals his hard work :p:D I would say that theres no need watermarking that ... if someone has the skills to take the image and slice it up into a layout, they have the skills to recreate it =P

    I personally really like the design, the one small critique i have is make the shadow on teh logo a little more stylish. I see the default photoshop shadow and I cringe hehe

    ;) nice work

    As blue being a favorite color of mine, I like it. But the words are kinda hard to read to me. The background is a little overdoing it i think. But other than that, I like it.

    I noticed that after someone said something else about the watermark. I was like "Oh, duh..." They aren't traditional watermarks, at least to the extent that I
    have seen. So yeah, judging by those things being water marks now, I like the cool blue feel to it.
