Honestly now, you've set aside more space for your news and tutorials then you have your business ... on your business website! Although it appears nothing in your portfolio works, looking at your website I don't know if either of you possess the talent in Flash to offer a competitive product. I would suggest scraping your current Flash website and focusing more on static design. Your website is fine for a couple of guys creating a personal website but this is supposed to be a business website. You might want to re-evaluate who your clients are going to be. I hope you don't take those statements personal. Also, if you're happy in using Flash to attract customers you might consider re-designing your website. As I've already said, you've squeezed all of your important content into a tiny box. You have a large window to play around with. First and foremost, get rid of the tutorials and site news. They're uncessary. Re-design your site so it takes advantage of the majority of the window screen. Also, you might want to skip on some of the trendy grunge effects in your current design. Obviously you want to attract customers and 17 year old RATM fans generally aren't hiring. Of course you'll want to add something to your portfolio before going live with the site. Your customers are going to want to see what else you have done with your talents. Its not very likely that a potential client will contact you with the few grunge thumbnails that don't link in your portfolio section. If you haven't done a lot of work, create a few mock-business website, and start walking into small business and showing them what you can do and offer to create their websites for free for the experience. You'll probably get shot down the vast majority of the time but after a few days you might walk away with a few clients. Churches and political candidates are also always looking for volunteers. Just make sure you put together something that looks appropriate for business. I guess I'll stop here. Feel free to ask any questions or for me to clearify my points.
