Looks nice. My notes:
*It would be cool if you could get the frames for each section to be just the size of the media. Dead space on the right side is kind of distracting.
*I don't like how the background photo is just repeated. I would try to have the pic stay stationary and just have the frames scroll.
*Not sure if I like having the media vertically stacked. maybe find a cool bit of formatting for them?

Just my $.02, I know its still being built.

It looks pretty sick, pretty professional...only thing I'd say is putting your cell # up might be a little risky, depending on the riff-raff you get.

agreed with this, if you could stake photos so in a pyramid type fashion to take up that dead space i think it would look nice

looks really good but the repeating background def is distracting, also the grass (although it looks cool) doesn't seem very relevant to the site... try getting something more relevant and make it like static when scrolling (like the newschoolers background image)

also the menu looks nice and clean but it seems like there should be like a title or something up to make it "pop" more.

also that like paper texture thing at the bottom looks out of place and hit counters are kinda 1995.

Most web hosts offer counts I believe, if you are paying for your site. you can usually get more data too, like where people are hitting from.

email their customer support? maybe check their website. They might not offer it, I don't know a ton about this stuff, I just know my mom gets all kinds of info, I believe she is hosted by earthlink...
