further to the last comment, I've found the best way to save images is to use photoshop and the "save images for web".

This enables you to easily change the size and quality until you get a file size you are happy with.

Home, Services and Contact page does not have any pictures and it would great help if you add some pictures there.

The site could certainly use a flash based slide show. You may check out //www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/

This is a good start and i am sure you would find more

I'm a web designer by trade and agree to most of what I read above.

My own personal pet peeve besides typos is font issues. By keeping your fonts down to one or two different ones and size repetition on each page will add to your professionalism by showing your attention to details.

There are also several sites where you can download a template for free and just tweak it which can help in the design process if you are not a designer. Just go to google and type in free web design templates...

"And I mean no offense to your suggestion, but that is who I am. "

That's totally cool, and if you're business saavy enough to realize the risks, weigh them and also take advantage of the twist. Go for it...

Heck, the other day I saw a house for sale by Century 21. The real estate agent was named John Smuck. Man, I just want to go up to the house, ring the doorbell and say "Do you know you're realtor is a real Smuck?" *LOL*

The layout is clean and inviting, and text is easy to read.

My three suggestions are:
1) Revisit homepage graphic
2) Some pages have too much whitespace between top and content
3) Add defining logo to your template. I only see 'Eric Gamble Photography' on the homepage and each subpage one has to read INTO the page to figure out the site. This will be helpful for those who arrive at your site by search engine link or the like.
