oh yes, if in case u want to know what "nhugu" means, it means "new"

it is a typical `newari' word.

newari is spoken in nepal - the nation of the mount everest ;)

Nice, very elegant!
-consider linking your e-mail so users do not have to copy and paste.
-perhaps a link to the web sites you have created would be a nice touch. A search for your portofolio didnot show the projects, knowing the URLs would help.

Sameer, you've done a good job.

For SEO purposes, you need to switch your titles around - put your name last and what the page is about first (actually that's good for people too - as they quickly see that they're on the page they want to be on).

I like the simplicity of the site, but agree with Bill about the e-mail link and links to your other projects. You might want to consider having someone look at your English as the grammar seems awkward in places. Great job!

What Beth is referring to is in your page properties, title. You have put the name of your company first and then the page title. She is suggesting that you switch that around and put the name of your company last in that title bar.

Nice simple site. Makes me want to see more. Great job!

For me I would not show you have had only three clients ( I don't know for sure but listing them in the way they are seems to imply that), maybe instead use them as testimonials and show some of the fine work that you do. Don't give impressions in anyway as to the size of your business. Especially in this field, people look for the most professional and if the site shows a portfolio, it should be very impressive, showing a broad range of clients and work done for them. Also agree on the wording of the text. It does seem a little forced or not well thought out.

Well, you have on the site that you do SEO - and you aren't doing a good job of it on your own site. You cannot optimize all the pages the same - they are all different. You now have the same title on every page I looked at. Each page is DIFFERENT - and the title and all SEO for each page needs to be different also. You used the same meta description and keywords for each page also. You're actually going to hurt yourself in SEO that way.

I really had thought you were using Blue Voda - but you aren't :(

The design is good - but you need to work on the SEO.

One more question Beth, like for my "about us" page, how do i put the <title> of the page:

1) web design, graphic design | nhugu.com | about us (or)
2) web design, graphic design | about us | nhugu.com

#1 or #2

Well, since you are used to coffee cup - you'll need to know where to go to change your meta and titles. Unfortunately, I don't know where that would be in that software. It should be where you insert meta information.
