Well, first off, I generally think of an "objective" section as the part
that tells what kind of position I'm looking for - not what I've done. (By
the way, there are grammatical issues with that section, too.)

There's little consistency in your style of writing. For example, for one
job you state:
Site design for the Morel Hunters! A Nebraska based morel Supply Company.

For the next you say:
Did a site for a Cincinnati, OH catering company.

Maintain the same "voice" for each of your items. I'd say something more to
the effect of the following (which is totally off the top of my head and not
word-smithed and just made up);

--
Morel Hunters
Designed and developed promotional website for local non-profit
organization. Utilized Macromedia Fireworks to create brand-specific
graphics. Leveraged javascript, xhtml, and ColdFusion to create a central
Ohio portal for morel hunters.
--

In other words, start each phrase with an action word of some sort - and be
consistent about it. (By the way, morelhunters.com
<http://morelhunters.com>just goes to a godaddy park page.)

I don't think that most people care about the number of hours you spent
doing a site. I think they care about the steps you used. For example:

Utilized client interviews, use case studies, wireframing and prototyping to
architect multi-tier site, including administrative back-end controls and
front-end marketing materials.

Get the idea?
