SEO is a huge topic and I don't have much time right now but I'll give you a few pointers:

You must 1 (and only 1) h1 tag on each page
Don't put links next to each other (separated by spaces). This can be seen as spamming - but u only have a few so no big deal.
Use the alt attribute in your img tags to tell the search engines what the image says! The top 10 links of your page have no text. Complete waste.
Learn about (and use) the "strong" and "em" tags
Don't link back to "/index.html" - this is a duplicate URL to the same frontpage page (ie.: use "/" instead)

PS.: Are you really from Tulsa?

Thanks for the Help.

I have made some changes as you suggested.

Yes I really am from that Tulsa.

Diego is a good name. Same name as my son.

Improve your web-design.Improve and increase your content to get some genuine visitors.Your website is in the early stage so excessive promotion could only harm it's prospects.Adjust your meta tags properly so that and enable your robot txt files to allow the Google spiders to cache your website.Don't submit to search engines ...infact try linking to website from related categories so that Google finds your website out and indexes you.Keep trying out the basic optimizing tips and have patience.Success will come.

And have web page optimized at most for 3 keywords. That will give you opportunity to get better results.

Do you mean 1 phrase with 3 words? Or 3 phrases?

Your site looks really nice

However, I feel that there is a bit of stuffing in the keywords tag.

Search engines have made several changes in their algorithm in the past 1-2 years. Your keyword text is absolutely normal, but it can be perceived as a keyword stuffing excercise by google

Your keywords tag is as follows :-
"website design company, video production, 3d animation, wedding videos, custom web design, custom website design and promotion, website design, web site design, web site design company, web design company"

In this above tag you have repeated web site design several times, which will only dilute the ranking power for keyword web site design.

Instead you can use a smaller and seo effective keyword tag as

"custom website design, web promotion company, wedding video production, 3d animation"

If you observe closely, you will see all keywords arranged specifically to avoid duplication.

This will result in higher rankings as compared to the existing keyword tag.

As I understand it, getting rid of the tables will give you an added edge.
