website critique

I re-did my website last summer and I never felt like it was perfect.  I always sort of meant to make it better.

Will you guys please check it out now as it is and let me know your opinions?  I want to change it up a bit, but I don't know what to do.

Thanks!

All of your pricing pages are black text on a black background so they look blank. 

And a few thoughts...

Try to get your logo on the gallery pages.  As-is it looks fairly disconnected from the rest of your site. 

Your contact us page says "Please give us a call or send us an email. We would love to set up a consultation to get to know you. " and then I had to scroll down to see your number and email address.  Better would be "Please give us a call at 123-456-7890 or email us at email@example.com to set up..."  You also probably want to make the email addresses mailto: links rather than just text.  Yes, you'll get a little more spam having them on your site but that can be taken care of with a good filter. 

You might also look at a contact form instead of just listing the email addresses.  That would help cut down the spam. 

You also want to have a different title for each page.  It helps the search engines, but more importantly it helps your visitors know where they are.

Ryan,
Thanks good ideas.  I don't know why my prices are blank, must be your browser, that's not good, I will fix it.  It's a frame inside the page.

What resolution are you viewing at?  You mentioned scrolling, I meant for the pages to require not much scrolling if any at all.  I guess I should make my pages more compatable with different resolutions.

I seriously hate designing website, but I don't want to pay for someone else to do it, some paid-for sites I have seen are way worse than mine.  I also want to be able to update it myself.  I just hate that there is such a variance in browsers.  I also hate the learning curve.  If I can't figure out how to do something in under a minute I get frustrated, I am ADD or something...  The only exception is photography, I am amazingly more patient with it.
