Hello,

I launched (yet another) web design/css gallery: http://idsandclasses.com . It is responsive, with mobile-first approach, no ratings, no membership, no comments, just pretty sites. I know there are some issues with IE7 but, frankly, I couldn't care less.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated

I'd add a space in "handpicked webdesigns".

I'd make it "Hand-picked Webdesigns".

It's not bad. Would really like to see images that scale to fill the area and more flexible media queries (not much difference between 19" 4:3 monitor and 30" 16:10 monitor), but it's pretty solid.

"Pretty solid" from porkchops.

Praise indeed.

Edit: just realised how that sounded. I don't mean he's overly harsh, just that he knows a good 20-30 more ways it could be wrong than most folks, and it's not any of them.

Good. I long time could not understand this portfolio or the catalogue.

It is a pity that there is no choice of tags on the first page

Thanks for all your feedback!

I'm not sure what you mean by scaling the images. With media queries I tried to cover the desktop, tablets and smartphones. I may add the style for ipad landscape mode but that would require image scaling and I try to stay away from that. It's a pity that there are no hover on touchscreen devices but that is one of the compromises I had to make. I figured it out that the majority of visitors of sites of this sort are designers who are looking for inspiration when they're stuck - and they are probably browsing from their desktops

Honestly, I would remove all the elements that are not essential if I could get away with it. Ok, tags are very useful but they are only one click away.

I'm particularly interested in speed of the site. It is the first time I ever used Amazon AWS and so far I'm impressed. But that's on my comp, how is the speed on yours?

Speed is good. I'm not a programmer

I don't want make this click Add on homepage "Filter by tags: dropdown list". There is no "home page" in top menu

I think you should change the navigation bar for the [1,2,3,4,5...] to fit into the design.

It's overall nice, clean and classy but subpage list doesn't fit the design as Webzz said, and as for front page, it lakcs atleast sentence of page explanation (List of best design of all time etc.)

Bit of padding beneath "Hand picked webdesigns" - between that and the pagination. I'm viewing on Firefox. The tail of the "g" for example in "webdesigns" overflows into your pagination area. Edit - unless that's deliberate and you want the bodies of the letters sitting on the line like that. Looks a bit squashed to me, though.

I concur though, looks cool to me. Nice effort.

It's fantastic! I can't really fault it. Good job and I love the colours. I think it would be wise to get a newsletter going. What platform did you build it in? Wordpress?

I was thinking of that but I had to take into account 3-digit numbers and the narrow screens. I wanted pagination to be big and very clickable. Since I added dropdown list for mobile version, I might just do that

It is deliberate. At first I used webfont (Bebas Neue) and it looked better. Then I thought "nah, helvetica is just fine"
