As I said before, I don't see the big benefit with the excess width. You're giving 15-25% (depending on your traffic data) of your visitors not only a scroll bar, but you're also cutting off a portion of 3/5 ad units for those users. All with no otherwise added value.
This is pickier, but I also don't fully understand the map lines. What do topographical maps have to do with freelance discussion?
I really like everything else about it though. The colors are awesome and the flow is very nice.
