Visually, not a bad start; but the devil is in the detail. When the designs get any more elaborate, you will be amazed how hard it is to make them work equally well in all browsers - this is where a significant amount of a web professional's effort goes. It's even a fair bit of effort to get a system set up so that you can test IE 6, 7, and 8, let alone Mac and Linux browsers
But don't be put off - there's lots of help available, and many commercial sites no better than yours. Just aim to be a bit better each time and you'll be fine.

And the details, now that you've all mentioned them I notice them and see how awful they are. I will pay attention to them in the future.
Now, someone give me a commission. Make up a company or something and give me a basic design and I will try my best to create it and code it for you. I need some practices.
EDIT: and perhaps a catchy slogan, too. "Client focused. Results oriented."

Bob Creary,
Thank you for your business offer. I'll get started on it as soon as possible. I will get back to you when I've made some progress.
Thank you,

I pretty much agree with everything that has been said so far. I also like the first site best, as it seems to have a more unified design and the colour scheme is pretty good.
You do appear to have an eye for colours, which will help you out immensely when people say they don't know what they want.
I'd suggest that you practice as much as possible. Mess around with templates and things and see what you can come up with. What program are you using? A WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor such as Dreamweaver? Or are you using just a text editor and coding it all from hand? I am doing Graphic Design at uni and I had to make websites using both.
This is one I did using Dreamweaver: http://jmrz.net/uni/cmns1000/uncannyvalley/
And this is one I coded from scratch in a text editor (had to be less than 100kb in total, and hand coded, no Dreamweaver or anything, in just plain html): http://jmrz.net/uni/desn1300/atraband/
This was the first time I'd used Dreamweaver, or written anything in HTML (you know, except for the commands forums and stuff use) and I was pretty proud of my efforts. I'd suggest going through the tutorials that Jeans suggested and learning some photoshop/illustrator tricks as well as basic html and css. The best way to get better at this stuff is to keep doing it.
Also, I found scribbling down your ideas, with pen and paper, helps immensely. Don't just jump straight into coding it first. Plan it out on paper, it helps.
