If you did it yourself and have little experience then I guess it's a good attempt but if i'm honest it does look a little dated with the buttons and the dark blue colours. The logo is ok. On my screen the background doesn't fit the full width of the screen. You might want to test on different screen resolutions.
You have something to stop people looking at the code of the site, I'd remove this as it's easily got around and causes more problems for example when people want to copy and paste for what ever reason.

Hello!
I am new to this forum. I am a Graphic and Website Designer/Developer looking to help other businesses. I really like the blue of your website and the white background is clean with nice clean fonts, making it easily readable. My points for improvement would be to make the navigation structure simpler, at the moment there are lots and lots of buttons, which can make it hard for the "not so savvy" people difficult to get around your website....which unfortunately will lead to them clicking off your website.
The key to a great website design, is to keep users on your website. The user needs to get a feel of your website within the first 7 seconds, keeping them on for longer than that and you have won them over!
I would also use drop down menus if you have lots of pages, this will tidy it up. I would also allow your page to scroll down and have just one scroll bar, oppose to two (you currently have a scroll bar within a scroll bar) which is quite difficult to navigate also.
I visited your gallery and when on an enlarged image, I couldn't click off it! Users may get frustrated and leave you website. I see you have incorporated some fancy social icons at the top? These are quite contemporary compared to the rest of your website.... would you consider having a chat and see how we can improve your website? Websites are personal, so all ideas will be taken on board and we could work together to make this website fantastic!

I agree, the website looks rather home-made and a bit dated, although it does give a good immediate impression of what your business is (which some websites fail to convey immediately). the dark clack buttons around the edge make it seem a little cluttered. Your website is your calling card so its really important to have it looking slick and worth investing in it both financially and with your own time. I would definietly advise hiring a web designer to help out.

Love the idea.
Think you have used one or two too many colours. Try using less colours on the frame and allow the great images to to be showcased more.
Like the idea for the logo. But again think it needs to be defined a little more however.
We are fans of modern clean lines here meaning most of the time.... less is more. Showcase the great work more and make the canvas simplier and functioning as it is.
Good Luck with it.
Hope this helps.
Regards Clayton.
