Don't take this the wrong way, but it looks like a FrontPage theme.... and that's not a compliment. Seriously, there are a few things I saw that really stood out. I'll post a screenshot so you can see for yourself. I'm using Mozilla 1.4 RC 3 at 1280x1024.

You can see in the highlighted area that the background is repeating and causing the text to be unreadable. This happens on several pages.

I'm guessing you still haven't fixed it (same errors as above), however aside from that... how to say this... for a web designer's site, I'm not too sure it's impressive. Spend some more time on the site, the design, the graphics, and the portfolio of templates (which are equally unimpressive). If you're happy with the design, then I surely don't want to discourage you, it's just not my cup of tea. Maybe check out some nice sites and see what they do? I don't know...

I'm not saying that this site (HostHideout) is a cutting-edge wonderment of design, but we don't offer design services here, and my objective was as few graphics as possible, simple good looking graphics, and fast loading.

Yeah, I was trying to imply something along these lines with the "FrontPage" comment. Checkout www.coolhomepages.com for some inspiration - there are lots of web design sites listed... you should get a good idea of what your competition is :D
