[Web Design] Future Portfolio design...

I need money, BADLY, so I decided to start designing websites for money. I need a portfolio for this, to show my work and stuff, and of course, the design of the portfolio is very important. That's why I need some feedback on it. Please let me know your comments, anything is welcome. Bear in mind I did this today, it's still in development process, but I'd like some feedback on the colors, fonts, icons and your overall thoughts when watching it (if you would hire someone after watching it or not, if it looks trustworthy, etc.).



And this is what I have in mind for the error pages:



Thanks for your time.

EDIT

I started coding this... I think the HTML version gives you a better idea of what I'm trying to do...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm doing my best to code it and make it as similar as possible to the original file. Having some troubles here and there, but everything solves in the end. Thanks for the comments. I'll try and see if I can find some good fonts (I HATE fonts... I never like them. I love trebuchet MS, that's it).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Quite interesting. Thanks for beinf honest. I'll try to modify it with some of your suggestions, just to see what comes out; but perhaps I'll start from scratch. While coding I noticed some things I didn't like (Some I do, but not all of them).

Also, not to keep hitting at you, but enlarged buttons with the onmouseover was so 1998.

Hahaha, true, true... still, it's something I really like. Perhaps next time I won't enlarge them, but definately some hover effect on them. I'll try to figure out something.

Also, I don't know if you made those little "wrench + screwdriver" icons or not, but if you didn't you should probably remove them, or make something similar on your own. Since this is your portfolio site, you want everything on it to be your own work.

No, I did not create those. I will do the buttons myself, though. I just needed something to put there for now.

So now I'm off to modify it. I will work mostly on the overall background, the header and footer. I really like the rest of it (I need somekind of logo, though...).

Thanks for your comments. I'll keep you updated.

EDIT

Thinking of it... I'd like to know your opinion on this other layout. It's an old thing that I did for a blog and somehow ended as a prototype for my portfolio... very different from the one above:

You can browse around, all the top-menu links (except for "Servicios") work.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This next design is thanks to this comment. I believe it looks good, still in development...

Also, I'll create my own icons for the navigation (which will be on the left, if you haven't noticed =P) so as soon as I get something, I'll post it here.

Suggestions are needed and welcome.



The menu is not entirely done... I don't like it right now... any ideas would be great.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That looks nice, and I did something like that at first, but the problem is that it'll habe only 5 links, and it looked quite... empty.

I'm toying around with this... I'll post an update when I think it's worth it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yes, I fucking love rounded stuff.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Coded. I'm quite happy with this one.
