Your home page shouldn't be linked in on the home page, never link the page you are on to it's self it cause confusion to your site visitor.
Is this the home page?

Better link text and a better call to action.
Under your logo you should have a tag line, no more than 8 words describing what you are and what you do.
I would have it as
web design based in.....
Fill in you location, better for the search engines and localized traffic.
Again change your title element to
furtz designs ~ web design based in...... fill in location
Again better SEO, as more people will be looking for web design work near you than they will be looking for web design by your name.

An ALT attribute contain the text alternative text is TBH not that great.
Check out my thread on
accessible web coding, pay attention to the image and image link sections.
You need to add a h1 tag again preferably contain the text
furtz designs web design based in ......
However due ti the fact you are using CSS sprites to pull them off, their are no current good place to place it.
I would add the logo in image form, add the ALT text as above and place it in a h1 tag, for better SEO.
The images width and height can be moved to CSS to reduce your bloat, and to code to the highest quality.
There are a mad amount of divs, p tags would be better suited and would reduce you code bloat considerably.
I'll have a proper look in a bit, been up all night so a tad tired and want to go to bed.
Hope it helps.
