dont think you linked DRUPAL enough!
seriously a client doesnt care that much about knowing more about drupal, in fact once they see the drupal site they will run away scared!
interlink to interesting components of YOUR site instead. your link colours are very obvious and the only thing I really saw was drupal, drupal, drupal...
think like a CLIENT not a web developer.
as for the site itself, its not too bad, but justified text is difficult to read, particularly when its a bit waffly. what the hell is going on with that footer, seriously that search bar just looks whack!
put the rss with the social media icons, it just looks odd sitting there all on its own.
make your slider a consistent height, its really distracting how it jumps.
your whole portfolio is a bit wobbly too, knockengine.com is that your first?, man it looks awful! it'll lose you more work than it'll gain, I would only place pieces you are proud of in your portfolio. and a grid there wouldn't hurt either...is john the painters image larger because its a better piece or your quality control was off that day?
the white dropshadow in the header is very distracting, whilst the main content headers have none whatsoever and probably could do with a bit of a subtle touch...
is there a need for 10 namespaces for the xml?
also there is way to much scripts in the head, place at the bottom of the document.
and I take it that you didnt name these css files?
css_TsVRTbLFUpEZAfw-_bWPJu840QT523CPjUVJ5MRWfyk.css
wow what a name!
trim the fat there as well and put all css into the one file. maybe even call it style.css so you know what it is!

Also a good place for the search bar would go good where the contact crap is in the header. Also on the contact page please make the inputs and the textareas the same length. Not the full size of the page either!
The colors go well together but I don't think the clients know or care what Drupal is. Personally I can't stand and won't work with Drupal.

it's quite cold, and er quite drupal looking 
coustard is quite nice as a display (i.e. heading font) but is too heavy for copy - try a clean serif font for the main text. justified text is just plain wrong on the web at the moment with current browser limitations you can just about get away with it for left area but the right isn't nice
'contact now' looks heavy and depressing and this info doesnt have enough contrast DFW (469) 248-7353

You'll can critize that one too....http://www.dfwrealestatehunter.com
Sure you'll hate the font....Style is my weak link
Good tips dave....the justified text....I though it looked better than left justified....I'll switch it around and play with it.
The css names are cached/aggregated by Drupal....the real style templates are simple like style.css
Yeah knockengine.com sucks guess I can take that off.
Don't like the fonts for text?....been trying to differentiate myself....EVERYONE uses the same old serif fonts.....think its a mistake?
Been switching over my sites to HTML5...did that now....cleaned up the namespaces at the top.
I'm big into training systems....thats where the outcome terminology comes from

Drupal Rocks! Lots of people ask for it by name in Dallas. Guess you haven't tried building a site with 100000 pages to manage...The Drupal market is blowing up! Yep its a little harder to learn than wordpress. It bothers me....Drupal is what I specialize in....web design review isn't about what system we use
Drupal has lagged behind a little in style compared to some other CMSs but it freaking rocks for anything with big data, categorization, GIS, data analysis

everyone uses the same old serif fonts (well almost eveyone) for a good reason that they are generally the most readable on screen.
try something like http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Droid-Sans

1. drop shadow is a bit too far maybe, but difficult with thin text
see http://pp.kpnet.fi/prescott/stuff/zeropoint_logo2.jpg (quickly done and i don't have the original to work with)
2. my bookmarks would be better named with 'listings' in the name
3. favicon is different to logo
4. top boxes could do with some padding
5. otherwise i like it
5. headings need more space preceding them
6. font size is a bit on the small side
