I find your site design very interesting ....  Unilke most American Sites,

you're focuses the viewer's attention clearly onto your dancers.  Its great

"sizzle" and your mix of natural textures with the shadow figures is a tasty

contrast.


But once inside - particularly on your porfolio page - the sizzle flies for

a series of homongenous boxes.  By randomly tapping a few i found that

within your skills shine once again.


My advice would be to bring a visual "icon" of each portfoliio piece to the

top with a small movie clip from the portfolio item as the button.


For what its worth (cheers for the Buffalo Springfield)
