No DOCTYPE declaration; please validate using the W3C validator... The colour theme is a bit bland, but maybe that's just my personal taste.
The Positive
Clean and easy to navigate.

navigation buttons are to simple, so is the color-use. Make the main content area a bit wider (give it some extra padding)

Poor coding, lots of errors. Looks different in Opera, Firefox and ie7. The rounded corners are pixelated. Design not centered, if that is the meaning? No preview jpeg above on siteverdict.com ^.
The Positive
Nice simplistic design.

If they are a design company, then I am a wild boar. Every wrong cliche was followed. Is this a joke?

Although simplistic, it's not a good simplistic. The layout is very one dimensional and doesn't cater to your site's objective. "SS Design", I'm assuming this is a site geared towards offering your own design services? It's just confusing. The "SS Design" in your logo needs to stand out, make it whtie or that pink color. The rounded edges on your content sections are pixelated.
The Positive
I see that you didn't use tables in the HTML, which is why I rated it the highest opposed to the other 4.

A little uncertain as to what exactly this site is for like another person said. It needs some spicing up if its a site for design!
The Positive
Easy to read and not cluttered, thats a good thing :-)

The color theme is very uninspired and lacks contrast or balance in it. The layout is too simple. The overall design just seems to lack anything to make it interesting to look at. There are some non-semantic code inside like using
The Positive
The purpose of the site seems very clear upon visiting. It gives the impression of a basic blog and portfolio website.

The logo is not very visible. Consider higher contrast for the text against the pinkish background. I might go with rounded corners for the navigation buttons, or otherwise straight edge for the main text area box. I don't know why it is called "S.S. Design". Consider more space between paragraphs.
The Positive
I like the spacing of the elements.

Your color choice is really bad. They bore me.
The Positive
The RSS icon looks cool. Anything besides that, is not cool.

Consider the accessibility of the URL, the desirability of the content and your marketing efforts online; all can have great impact on your reach.--" This is a very afful website!DESIGN(I don;t think so!!!!)This website has a lot o errors!!!

Flash intros are a sign of an amateur. This one really does nothing for the site. The site itself looks like a split personality. It doesn't know where to go.
The Positive
It is obvious what the site is about. Unfortunately, what it is about is graphic design and this design is inferior.
