Hugh,

Your site is not bad at all for being designed by a retired guy

On mobile, the menu is not obvious, therefore a lot of your content will be missed. I recommend going to a single page format and listing all of your content on one page. Very common these days for sites with limited content.

Good luck!

Thanks Motion!

I found that same problem with my iPhone. I'll look into redesigning it.

I swear I did not look up your arrest record.

Hopefully you will not want to do "consulting." You deserve a new life, one with new learning and new adventures. Don't take this time of your life to live in the past.
The DNS server you are using is broken.

Nice!
Now it opens for me!
Nice page Hugh!

But go through it in detail. I am a guy that cringes when I see things like Hugh.rose@...
Use lower case for all letters hugh.rose@... or use Hugh.Rose@...
As it is now it looks like you made the page by using MS Word with autocorrect.
Also, I think there should be a space after a comma. E, H&S. Maybe even better E, H & S

Other things:
Resume'
Deja Vu'

Make sure that you own the images!
The one on the top looks like a stock photo, they tend to get very "nervous" if they don't get paid.

Edit, added: don't underline text! Underlined text is recognized as a link!
I know, links are not underlined anymore on most pages, but still, don't underline text.

But overall a very clean and nice looking page!

Looks good though. Only critique would be to maybe re-size and inset the city-scape pic a bit. When it goes all the way to the margin, it makes you want to scroll right to "see the rest of the pic".
Maybe do 3-4 separate/smaller square pics with equal spacing.

What Eric said.

My only critique is that you should lose the PDF resume.

That is, the site is enough. --it sells you as someone that anyone would want to know.

But the PDF resume linked makes you look a bit too old-school (out of touch) and maybe a bit needy.

Thanks all, Holder, thanks for the formatting tip, you are 100% correct. Island, I'll think about the PDF thingie, I want Lawyers to be able to click and download a resume'. The images are stock photos from godadday.com so no licensing issues. I may load some industry specific images, but even thought I took the pics, I worked for Disney, so not sure about licensing.

Hugh... I don't have my phone with me at the moment - but make 100% sure it looks really good on mobile. I bet 80% of your traffic will be in that method.

...also - it should be really easy to contact you from the page.

Look at what your "competition" is doing. Be better.
