My Portfolio - C&C Appreciated

I don't know if you are any good at web design or not but if you are seriously expecting payment for services you need to go and learn about marketing.

As an owner of a retail website, I wouldn't even consider using you. Why should I?
 
Even if you could prove that skillset, you still have less than a trainee webdesigner, certainly not a "Specialist" as you put yourself.
 
My day job is as a web designer, I don't claim to be anywhere near the upper echelons of this field but as mentioned, that skillset is rubbish. The day's are long gone when people expect designers to just .. design, nowaday's you need at the very LEAST a rudimentary working knowledge of PHP, ASP, MySQL and or MS SQL, Javascript, DHTML, possibly AJAX. As for coding XHTML strict, that should be pretty much a given.
 
The only contact details you give are a googlemail and aim account?! Someone would have to be completely crazy to hire you, given they dont have any reliable means for tracking you down should you do a runner.

ps: That isn't a website. I could have made that in Frontpage in 15 minutes
pps: www.pursuitsfreak.com is pretty awful as far as websites go (the design as well as the content). I can get the google adds flying across the middle of the page by moving my mouse over the currency selection bit!

Sorry to be harsh, but its the truth tbh.
 
Nice, clean and simple. But as many have already said, there's nothing there of significance to be able to give much comment on at this time. Definitely needs examples of your work, and you should explain (or just not use) terms like "xhtml" and "tableless" for the average person on the street. A phrase like "tableless" means absolutely nothing to a businessperson, but telling them you can save on bandwidth bills, improve accessibility, search engine reach and so on means much, much more.

I do have a few thoughts regarding your markup.

Code: 
    [COLOR=Yellow]<span class="paragraph">[/COLOR]
  - Online or Offline Identity Design<br />
  - Tableless xHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS Coding<br />
  - Print Design<br />
  - Website Template Design<br />
Why not use <p>aragraph tags if you want a paragraph? <span> is a meaningless container element, and says nothing about the content it encloses. Still, in this case, do you not think that your list of skills would actually be better marked up as a <li>st?
Code: 
<div [COLOR=Yellow]class="title"[/COLOR] id="content">
A sub-title within content, otherwise known as a <h>eading. There are tags like <h1> and <h2> specifically designed for this purpose, and they impart meaning and structure to the document which <div>s do not do.

Have a search for terms like "semantic markup" and "semantic html".
