Hi Guys,
I have decided to redesign my website and I'd love to here your thoughts on the design and layout before I start developing. <a href="http://puredezigner.com/clients/new_design.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://puredezigner.com/clients/new_design.jpg</a>

I think you're designing new
I think you're designing new websites for your website too often. This is your third one that I know of in a years span. If you have an audience that frequently comes to you site, i'm sure they get confused every time you re-design and maybe wonders if they are at the correct site.
As far as the design goes, i like it. I dont think the button graphic you choose for "go check out our portfolio" looks good there. It really doesnt resemble anything portfolio. looks like if i click it, I'll go to a gaming site or something. I also think the off-state of the navigation should be a bit brighter, as its not one of the first few things i see when scanning the page. I like the style, and design with the colors and background images used.
First basic few steps in building a webpage
1. Gather and collect content.
2. Organize the content into meaningful semantic valid HTML
3. Design the prototype
4. Style using CSS

Hi CupidsToejam, thanks for
Hi CupidsToejam, thanks for the feedback!
Unfortunately I don't have a large amount of traffic at the moment. This redesign will be ExpressionEngine based instead of WP; that way I have an example of an EE site. For now with my traffic being very low this helps me continue to evolve as a designer/developer!
