I need some ideas for this design, its boring.

Does anyone know a site with a centered design with a gradient fading the central table into an outside table color?

You might want to blur out his phone number.

I like it, but maybe have the background a light grey.

I was thinking the outer areas should be grey with a gradient going in to the white center.

Need to see a few sites that have done the same thing though, cant find any.

Not hard to do. IE supports gradients using CSS. For cross-browser compatibility, use a 1px wide GIF and repeat it.

There's no glamorous way to do it, just use an image.

tbh, i dont really know web design, so cant really offer any "you should do this, or that". however, my opinion is, for someones portfolio site, that seems extremly boring and plain.

A portfolio, you want to stand out, be original/creative and generally be interesting. For example, i saw someones portfolio site, who did it as a book (in flash) where you could scroll through the pages, and it looked extremly interesting, and actually made the reader want to read it.

So get him to deliver it.

He wants his website doing, he can do the running around.

No, thats Dans design, we havent discussed money and it was a draft made - he doesnt want the final design for a few months.

He's hooked me up with some guy called Jamie who's just launched his business and wants a design.

£500 is nothing for a website. Charge him double, and charge him monthly to maintain it.
