Showreel and Website

T have rendered my show-reel now and added to my mockup website, www.rixhillart.co.uk.
The website design is inspired by the professional websites that feature the minimum amount of distraction from the subject matter. I have also maintained that every link is only 2 clicks away from each other, enabling for easy navigation. I have installed on the front page, links to both my personal  blog and my DeviantArt account. These are both updated frequently. The show reel is uploaded to the first page, but unfortunately  the software I used to compile the website is unable to imbed a video onto a page and must open it separately (this is without publishing to the internet).
   The show-reel itself came together at the last minute, but I am not entirely happy with the outcome after going through it several times, there still remain some minor transitional errors between slides that I missed and the exported video (in h.264 format) blur slightly. This I expected, but am unable to compensate for even when rendering a second video. The total length of the show-reel is just over a minute,  at 69 seconds.
   The soundtrack I used for the show-reel is Aztec Ambition by Arbiter, available from newgrounds.com.available here:

The software I used to compile the website limits me to 5 pages and is called Serif WebPlus Starter Edition. It is a limited program but free up until a point.
