Website reflection

My website is a portfolio website featuring a gallery of works, some animations and commission info. I decided to keep my website simple as I could but I wanted to build it from the ground up. I wrote the HTML with some help from dreamweaver and did the style/design using CSS. I didn't want to use something with a template or anything premade (except lightbox 2) because I thought I would learn more, and I have.

the offset of that is I may have used some fairly unorthodox methods and not being able to do things exactly like they are in my mind. I mainly had technical issues like making the website look uniform, even when using the same HTML and CSS, I think using tables made things jump around a bit. The pages with less complex tables (main page and contact) don't jump for example. I think this is probably the biggest weakness in the work. Some of the tables aren't completely centred either and I couldn't find a solution.

Strengths, I'm happy with how the website looks on most pages. I'm not totally satisfied with my animations page and the banners opening up new pages (i'd prefer if the video opened up on the same page). But overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and it's substantial for what I need. I can also continue to refine and expand it.
