My site review?

I thought since the 2.0 beta of my site is now up and running i would ask for some feedback. I am looking to re-write some things and add more content to the homepage but generally i like it.

I will be adding a page for customer feedback and maybe a client list also (when i get enough lol)

I kept it simple because i like sleek minimal design and wanted to reflect that.

I don't think the homepage needs a back button on the bottom
You misspelt 'techniques' in the Tron image.
The Tron image should be wider, so it aligns to the rest of the content (i.e the edges of the page).
 
I have fixed the spelling mistake (i suck at spelling) and aligning problem.

The back button im sort of stuck on, i don't know how to remove it from one page as its wordpress based
 
In your services page your marketing yourself as a small company using 'we'? but then says 'Other ways to reach me' above your social networking logos. If your currently working alone I'd tend to target yourself as a freelancer not a company... don't want your clients getting the wrong idea!

Also the portfolio takes a long time to load, I viewed the first image and waited for a good minute and half for the next image to load.
 
Yes i agree with what you said.

As far as the portfolio loading times, im having problems finding a good plug-in for wordpress that plays well
 
Taking into account everything you guys said i have changed the faults and have a new image slideshow. clickable thumbnails to be exact.

Hope it is better.
 
ok haven't looked at the work on the site but one thing hit me and it would bug the hell out of me.

In my opinion your titles (and all below it) above the images need to be in alignment with the top of your menu, it's just sitting wrong to me. The ............ divider also seems darker than the menu ones so I would try to lighten that up if you can :)

edit: just looked at a couple of images - they're copyright a persons name while the site is a business name, that to me could be confusing and lead to people thinking that the work isn't the companies - you have to think like the viewer is an idiot (not that they all are)
 
ueah, the stamp on the work is because allot of them were done before i decided to set up in business. i will try and get rid of them.

The other points i dont know how to fix really as its wordpress based and i have never worked on them before ;:S
 
not being a web designer and also not being a blogger either it looks like you need to change the margin part of this section of the css file to something lower than 30px, I'd say about 23px by the looks of it.
Code: 
.postsingle {     margin:0 0 [B]30px[/B] 0;     padding:0;     line-height: 20px;     width: 657px;      }

BACKUP the current css file (
http://www.harlequin-studio.co.uk/wp-content/themes/BlueBubble/style.css on server) before tinkering though :)
 
I tried that and it didnt seem to work, i tried chaning the padding on a few different things also.

Here is the css code

Code: 
/* basics */*{margin:0; padding:0;}body {    background:#FFFFFF;    font-family: verdana, arial, tahoma, sans-serif;    font-size: 11px;    margin:20px;    }    h1 {font-size: 26px; line-height: 42px;}h2 {font-size: 14px;
