Hi Teale, right now I think your biggest problem is the quality  and focus of your models over all.  I'm not exactly sure what you wish to do, by which i mean, Do you wish to be an animator? an environment artist? character artist? etc etc.
If you're trying to be a modeler, then I'd only post models on your site, and get rid of the excess stuff. (typography, animation, etc). 
IF you're trying to be an animator, I'd make a demo reel. 
Go and look at other peoples portfolios to get some idea on where your quality bar should be set. 

 I hope this helps! Good luck. !

I was just about to comment on the same thing. The website is a bit awkward to look around, i didnt know i had to click 3d models to view them all I thought you only had one model. Plus nothing seems like it is game ready more like just highpoly stuff with some materials slapped on.

You have a long way to go, but keep it up

In terms of the site itself, as others have commented, its not very well put together.
I'd actually suggest you using ArtStation as your portfolio site instead
Or atleast something like Wix if you really insist on a porsonalized site. 

In terms of quality of work theres quite a long way to go, try picking up some tutorials on the subject you wish to focus on. (Hardsurface/Character/Environment). If you wish to be a 3D Artist, try to only display relevant artwork. You can remove the Animation/Typography bits as they will not benefit you at this time. 

Also, once again, i suggest taking a look at the 'Trending' page on Artstation, this will give you a rough idea of the sort of quality you will need to push for.  https://www.artstation.com/artwork?sorting=trending&medium=digital3d

All the best.
