Hi I thought your website is a really great start :) Although I reckon you may still need to polish it up a bit yet if you want compete with other professionals on the market. Have you looked at using CSS (cascading style-sheets) for your layout - they are a bit tricky to get your head around at first but once you master them you can produce very sleek designs with them.
some examples:

I know what you mean about college work taking up all your time - it can be quite a slog getting everything pulled together, but you'll get there in the end! good luck :)
Hi Chris, thank you for your comment! Flattery gets you everywhere haha!
I got started in Flash when I was at art school (graduated three years ago), and just launched myself into every placement I could at the time, to get me started - even if I didn't have a clue what i was doing, just worked non-stop to figure stuff out as I went along. Then after I graduated I just launched myself into every job I could - same rules apply!
I had a look at your website - are you going to put more of your work on it eventually? Will you learn any back-end stuff such as Actionscript programming during your uni course?
Hi Chris, I've been working in digital media for nine or ten years now. I co-founded my company Inner Ear in September 2000 and launched Radio Magnetic on 19 March 2001. We'll be eight years old this Thursday.
What kind of digital media activities do you do? Are you involved in the music scene in Dundee?
Hi Chris, apologises taking me a while to get back to you!! I hope you are well. Looking to meet people in the web/software/media industry to network as we are specialist providers of developers on a project basis. Always keen to expand my network in this arena. How is college going? SJ
