Evaluating an complete website

I have finished creating my web portfolio in Dreamweaver. The website is a simple, Easy website with the intention of easy navigation. The navigation bar is placed to the left of the website. I have stylized the navigation bar with skills i have learned in Adobe Illustrator. The image shows a hand holding an clipboard with several check boxes upon it. When the user scrolls their mouse over the check boxes, a cross appears in the box. And the user is able to click each box to get to a desired page. I believe the website could have been made better by having a more diverse design and more pages. The content on the website is limited and i will like to advance this in the future to help create an more detailed portfolio.
As for the style of the image i would like to rethink the fonts used and make more use of the white space. I believe an redesign of the website is necessary to create an website that is eaiser to navigate and has a decent display of content
