Please Help Me!

Okay. I'm currently in a bind. Here's my situation: I make websites and do general graphic design work. I recently had to leave the design house I was working at because their paychecks had a nasty habit of bouncing. To make matters worse, I'm missing A LOT of my portfolio because the computer I had to work with died, and it didn't even have a writable CD drive for me to back up my stuff! What I have was either spanned across a couple floppies, or from my college's server.

So now I need to get another job ASAP. I'm not as far along as Mickey, but I'm ok given the experience I have. If you could look at my site and critique the hell out of it I will be eternally grateful to you! I have a laundry list of issues with it that I'm currently working on. So if you can, please help me!

I'll try and take a look at it a little later, as I need to get to bed tonight, but there are ways to extract data from a harddrive so you can pull your portfolio off of a dead computer. I think I have sharewar that will do it somewhere on this machine if you want it.

Thanks. I don't know if the dead HD can even support an operating system. Apparently a lot of sectors went bad in some really important places.

On your site the Graphic Design link on the homepage takes you somewhere else. Aside from that I don't know PHP well enough to really help you. Again, I'm more of a Flash guy. (With a very rushed html site)

The site looks nice, but if you are going to talk about why some place should choose you, I would sound a bit more professional.

Not to mention try monster.com.

Actually, the site was optimized for search engines under the term "Chicago Website Company" because a place I used to work at used that all the time as their example term for searches, and I wanted to see if I could place somewhere around them, or above them. I placed 214 out of 12,000,000 on Yahoo! last time I checked. But I'm changing the text to be more appropriate for my site, and to be less cheesy. If you want to read some really funny body copy, check out http://www.cherryoneweb.com they worked the term "Chicago Website Company" in like 50 times on their home page...
