Hi everyone.
Here is a website that I have just launched in the hope of picking up a bit or hobby work.

Lovely idea, but it could do with being responsive. At the moment on a laptop, the main page is centred with white space either side. The creations page is left justified with white space to the right. As you reduce the browser, nothing gets smaller and you get horizontal scroll bars.
The contact button will only work if the customer's email system is tied into their browser.
My guess is that if you put it into layout grids, it would work a lot better. And you could offer up a contact form - either an external one in an HTML window or build your own (but that depends on the server offering PHP).
If you need help doing this, just ask - I'm happy to assist.

Just put the WBS file and any images into a zip file and post it to a public place (like dropbox) and then put the link in as a reply to here.
I'm out all day today, but I'll have a look at it tomorrow.

Much nicer. Well done.
The only big issue I see (and it may be me being paranoid) is that you have the email address "exposed" on the front page.
What I do is create a contact form using a third party free supplier - I use cognitoforms.com - and then put the iframe code (html code that cognito supplies) into an HTML object inside a layout grid. If you want to see an example, click on this (but please don't fill it out and send it)
