First up, far far prefer the new design, much better
I'd lose the clip-art style images, not in the accordion though, they're ok - but I agree with other posters, perhaps you'd be better putting some portfolio stuff there - I mean the ones lower down, CMS, e-commerce, training, the clip-art feel looks just a little cheap for a "handcoded" design studio.
Yeah further on that theme, I know what you mean by "handcoded" but I think the typical client might read it and think "handcrafted", perhaps that's an avenue to explore, knock some of the hard edges off elements and go for a more rustic feel. Just an idea
