Decided to do some work at last and create my own online portfolio with graphics, animations and web sites that i have made recenetly. The site isn't yet complete and i haven't entered all my latest projects but i would be grateful if you guys would take a look at give me some feedback.

what still needs to be done:

- date formatting for projects
- style sheets
- more projects adding
- few image tweeks
- advert adding


open for criticism guys....
please criticise taking the above into account

Lots of images, took my cable connection a little longer than usual to load. It looks to me that it was worth the wait though :wink: . Your index page looks great, easy to navigate through and read. In your about section, I'll just throw some friendly advice that I was given, dont post your full date of birth online, maybe just toss in the month and day. Its more of a security issue, my dad works for a fraud dept. in a bank and gave me the same advice. But thats just a side note. Browsing through the remainder of your site, I honestly cant find any design flaws worth noting, everything looks organized and professional. As with your other site, you'll have to toss in some meta content/description/keyword tags and also throw in some alt tags for your images. Also looking at your code, it would be a good idea to put your scripts and css into an external file and just reference them, makes it easier on the eyes and easier to debug. Awesome job though, very good work.

Cheers....

the buttons at the top for some reason do that delayed thing? don't know why...

sorry about shafting your connection... the big image will be replaced by a flash animation that alternates... not that that is going help the connection LOL

thanks for the note about DOB... mods have been done, before you turn into me. LOL

Cheers for the tips guys


(i've updated a little more since... should look sweeter apart from a few broken images) !!

nice site, no doubt at all. Reminds me of the macromedia site a bit which is def. a good thing. I would hire you to design websites if I couldn't do it myself for sure. This site is one of the better looking I've seen in fact.

Cheers, it does remind me of macromedia's range now you come to mention it. Once it has the large flash animation at the top too... it will definately look like one! :D

sometimes I think sites could do without the flash. Done tastefully and making it subtle, it's all good but a lot of sites go way too far and it's just distracting.

My idea was to use some flash software called zoomify which allows you to have a massive image scaled out and zoom into areas of it to view closer detail.... and the idea was that the large image would be a large design!

hi, really nice site, smooth layout, everything fits nicely and a really nice feel, i was thinking as i seen more of the site like others have thought, that is has a feel and slight look as what macromedia's site does, very professional looking, keep up the good work, i would definatly buy your web services if you do them and if i couldn't do them myself

well done!
