ok first i dont like the site design at all, but that is purely a matter of taste and isnt much u can do about that...( the illustration up top is blah, the thecolorifix.com font is awful, the home page is blah and weak)

techincal stuff

but you should probably view your site in firefox if you havent already as there are some margin issues...the site is too big to fit on the screen without having to scroll horizontally

on your bio page the picture bleeds into the text

to make it easier on you
you could just take that home page out and make your bio page the "home" page, because right now it serves no purpose and it makes no sense to me to put it there if you dont have a specific message to convey(either thorough text or image(logo, illustration that represents your work)

Reorganize your bio page(maybe add a brief welcome line)and and fix the techincal aspects

I'm look in IE and it takes up about 1/4 of the screen, w/ about 1/2" of just white space leading over to it. That shouldn't be taking up so much space, particularly the empty white space. I'm a novice at webdesign, too, so all I can say is ... uh ... "fix that."

And then -- yeah, like what was said above -- when I click on "music" the frame goes too far horizontally, the picture is cut off and I have to scroll over to see.

Otherwise, the minimalism is all right. I much prefer that to people who try and do too much.

and if you aren't scared of getting crucified go here:

http://www.howdesign.com/forum/categories.asp

but like I said its a bunch of bitter, hateful designers that will crucify your site. But some of them are really talented and can help you out.

if you state that you aren't a designer then I've seen them go easy on people
