Just because I really am convinced that it is really bad advice. You see, I hesitated after writing this, but then decided to stick with it. > I think you really need to take a breath here. It makes the site more usable, less cluttered, faster to load, less maintenance and more easily navigable. I would argue that keeping it simple is helping him. I fail to see how I'm sticking my head in the sand. I'm saying that I like the style he chose, and disagree with the "improvements" that you are suggesting. I am giving OP proper feedback, which just happens to disagree with yours. I think you really need to take a breath here. "I'd prefer to have it look like my site I created for geocities with Frontpage" is not what will help OP presenting this to a potential employer, or making it a viable source of income. Let's at least try to give OP proper feedback without resorting to head-in-the-sand subjectivity like that. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd have to see how OP implements your suggestions before actually deciding. I personally find color-schemes annoying. I don't like extra styling, as it ends up cluttering the display. But the way I interpret the changes are how I've seen other sites do it, and it just sounds worse to me. I'm basing it on how I see your suggestions in my head.
