As you'll soon discover, a lot of the regulars here are only capable of
sarcasm and put-downs. However, it's best to keep in mind that many of them
are code technicians not web designers.

From a design perspective, your site is nice in terms of layout, colour
scheme, etc. It has some nice eye-catching elements.

There's work to be done from a technical point of view. For example:
http://www.motivateddesign.co.uk/html/gallery.htm

in FF is completely broken. Lots of overlapping divs (and the text within),
images out of place (compared to the IE layout -- the one I presume that's
your intended layout).

If you don't have it already, get the Web Developer toolbar extension for
FF. Great tool for seeing how everything "fits" together.

Also, I sometimes use Amaya for the same purpose. It's a crappy editor, but
it's great for debugging an already designed page.
