As a Film & TV Student, I think that site looks pretty straight forward to navigate around and advertises your services perfectly. Nice one!

I like the fact how the site is easy to navigate while the information is very well (and logically) represented.

What works well
- The information
- Navigation
- Overall structure

What Does:
- In my professional opinion iWeb just isn't a professional tool, it's like shooting broadcast HD on a Sony Handycam. Does it do it, yes, is it professional, nope. I would try Wordpress or Rapidweaver, IMO you'll get a far better looking portfolio.
- Colour, IMO toning down the colours would work much better. Go for a 3 colour palette while for the text make it a little more typographic heavy. It will be easier to ingest the information.

I would also look through this article (it has some of the best pointers out there).

It's quite good looking, and is efficient and easy to navigate. I suggest you consider changing the grey-on-pink text on the main page, though- the color combination is rather unpleasant and makes the text difficult to read.

Hey, not bad for iWeb I'd second one of the previous suggestions, check out Wordpress... there are some awesome free themes available that can showcase your work. Just look for "portfolio" themes, etc. For example, here are a few.. http://qeqnes.wordpress.com/2010/02/05/24-portfolio-and-photo-gallery-wordpress-themes/

My first impression, the hierarchy is a bit confusing to me, on the homepage.

Is your name more, important - or your title? The twitter feed or the main text? The images also don't give me a great deal of information. That would help.

From a code p.o.v. - are you able to take the inline styles off the divs and put them into a css file? It would be much cleaner. I've never really worked using iWeb so I don't know how everything is implemented.
