alright fine, let's go there

your website header is ugly and barely legible, there's no logo to represent you or your work, and if you're going to use just your name, it should be clearly legible
there's no footer, you should have footer content inviting clients to contact you on every single page, not just a link to a contact page that has your personal info on it. include links to your facebook, twitter, dribbble, etc.
the template you used is ugly, it's not fluid and looks trashy. it looks like a site you would go to if you wanted to download counterstrike hacks back in 2003
the copy on your homepage is too small and there's too much text condensed into a small area. there's no call to action for clients to seek further information about you, and it's too pretentious to be taken seriously.
keep it short and sweet and relevant. for one, you introduce yourself as a graphic design student and don't offer any sample of design work, and based purely on your website i would not take you seriously enough to contact you.

now let's take a look at emu's page

you visit his site, and the first thing you see is his name, position, and contact information. returning clients, or clients referred to his site via business card, or personal interaction know exactly who it is, how to reach him, and what he does.
from there, his navigation features links to an in depth explanation of recent works and clients, demonstrating his workflow, sketches, and completed pieces

he doesn't need any heavy explanation about who he is or what he does, because his work speaks for itself, and if a client wants to contact him, they know exactly where his contact information is because it was the first thing they saw upon visiting his site.

e: am i saying emu's site is perfect? far from it. however, it's a demonstration of his abilities and adequately represents his interests as a professional.
