The front page should by the choice of photos indicate what market or what customers you are trying to attract. The problem I see in the first page is the implication that you ONLY do black and white and sepia work.
Then comes the question: As a customer, why would I want to buy a black and white or sepia shot of the kind that you have on your front page?
Your front page needs to "answer" those implied questions by the choice and nature of your chosen photos.

Big issue is that in any portrait the eyes must be visible, bright, sharp, and in focus. That is basic. No shadows around the eyes.
Sorry to pour cold water on your enthusiasm but the details are important when it comes to both photography and web sites.

If you do more reading in magazines such as Popular Photography or in any books on portraiture, you will find the emphasis on the eyes and getting them right as an integral part of any good portrait. Even look at the great portraits by Josef Karsh. Hardly Walmart type stuff at all. Look at the work of top wedding photographers and others that are making the big bucks shooting people. The eyes are always sharp, visible, bright, and in focus.
So, you would be in a minority of photographers who many customers would not consider capable, if you ignore what are considered to be the standards in various types of photography.
