I use Chrome on my current laptop, and Firefox on my desktop PC upstairs. (just kinda the way it came about). I find Chrome to be a bit nippier, and less prone to crashes or the like, but there's not a huge amount in it in my opinion. I use Internet Explorer regularly in work, and that is a sluggish beast in comparison... though I don't need to tell anyone here that

I would definitely still include a reference to them on your portfolio. Every thing you work on, however small or seemingly insignificant it may seem, all helps build up a positive picture in the eyes of a prospective employer or client. I see numerous graphic designers portfolio's with references to work done for a lot of big names, and I know for a fact in most of those cases the work was done while working for a graphic design agency as part of a large team, and they were responsible for a smaller part of the whole project. They still include it. Just be clear on what parts you helped with and everyone's happy Agreed

PC for me. I just bought a new Samsung laptop; i5 processor, 8GB ram, GT650M, 1GB HDD for just over £500 brand new and its nice and nippy and capable of running every game I've thrown at it so far on, at the minimum, middle of the road settings. I could never jusify the cost for a Mac, but then, that it just me. It takes all sorts to make the world go round

Seconded! Its a nice, clean looking site. I agree with what's been said though, its not instantly obviously what the site is for. As a minor change, if the initial image in the slider was of an item of food from the restaurant, that would help rectify this.

First impressions are good, its a nice looking site. However, as mentioned above, the cursor is more of a hindrance than anything else. It will only serve to confuse people and is anti-accessible. The images in your portfolio section are way too small, and do nothing to show off the work you have done; the main aim of a portfolio website. I appreciate that when you click on an image, information is displayed (and I like the way this is done), but I think the initial view of the portfolio section could use some definition.

I've always preferred learning from a book. The internet is a fantastic, invaluable resource, but if there was specific information I required, available in book-form, I would take it in book-form in an instance! I think its for a number of reasons; 1. Its what I'm used too; grew up reading and learning from books, didn't get the internet until I was 15. 2. Convenience; I can flick through a few chapters while watching TV, travelling on a train, on a break in work etc 3. The FEEL of turning a page, and feeling that you have progressed one more page towards the completion of the book - this satisfaction cannot be emulated online. I'm old school I guess Kyle

I own a 360, but on the subject of AC Brotherhood, that was one of my favourite games of last year - WELL worth a blast Kyle

If its working for you then just stick with it I say

The client who I did the site for doesn't actually use the opencart system to monitor stock; every product is always "in-stock". They use thier own method for stock taking. I know when you add additional "option values" such as; 'color: blue, white, green, etc' you can add a quantity for each option type.

I developed a site using it a few months back, you can check it out on my portfolio (link in sig). Pretty good cart to be fair! Kyle

To go a bit further than that, it'd be worth you utilizing a CSS reset to help stop this sort of thing happening in future; http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ Kyle

Ditto. If you can supply a link, or the code, it would be a lot easier to troubleshoot your problem Kyle

I like the approach :-)

Same here I use it every single day, comes with the territory I wasn't criticising at all, I was just curious as to whether or not there was something in particularly that swayed you, or that you just got more and more tempted as time went on - I've been seeing you pondering it for quite some time! There is no denying they are nice pieces of kit, just not for me, at least from my experience with them. I really hope it aids your productivity though. Let me know how it goes if you do eventually for for it Kyle

What convinced you to make the leap then, mate? Just I know you've been considering it for a few months, and you seem pretty sure now Kyle
