Have to agree. I'm still learning.

I love the concept! Somewhat familiar workspace too. Will check it out and leave more in-depth feedback in due course. I did have a quick look on my break earlier though and quickly came across a bug with changing the text colour. I've lost my screengrab for this so I'll see if I can re-produce the problem (shouldn't be too difficult, I was only changing the colour of some text!).

Not 100% on either - it would be nice to see a few more iterations.

WordPress seems wayyy too overkill for a single page website.

I presume you're using <h11> tags to demonstrate how individual you are?

Just float the icons individually. Put the headers in the the 2nd, 5th and 8th icon and simply hide them when they all drop to one icon per line. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/mJjKjm Update: modified to display header above 1st, 4th and 7th icon when resized to one icon per line.

I prefer concept one (as Robby pointed out, it does look better without the distracting banner at the top). I can't help feeling, however, that it lacks a little personality.

Best bet is to post a screenshot for others.

Wouldn't even waste your time. Looks like you need a re-design/build.

If you're fairly passionate then sooner or later you're gonna need to ditch the awful software you're using to generate websites and write them yourself.

In addition to the above, take a good look at the source code for sites that take your fancy. You could even try and replicate your favourite site, providing it isn't too complex. It'll give you experience in building actual websites and you'll know exactly where to apply what you learnt!

Yes, exactly that!

To clarify, :hover is a CSS selector. Where as .hover is merely a class name.

Definitely not worthless. It's a start. Anything you learn from there on will be beneficial. As Robert mentioned, you'll probably want to sink your teeth into Javascript sooner, rather than later.

If you have only the compiled SWF, you'll need a Flash decompiler in order to edit the URL(s). I think this will be sufficient.

I did some digging because I didn't fully understand what the desired output of the API would be (I also don't have a RA account to test) until I came across an old thread of yours. As far as I'm aware you just need to parse the XML that RA outputs in your code. See this answer on how to parse XML in Javascript. You can skip the first step as I'll assume it's already going to be valid. Skip the second step, also, if you are using another method to fetch the XML. If anybody knows of any better tutorials, please do share - I couldn't find anything simpler.

So as not to distract the user from the article, I'd put it at the bottom You could also use some kind of modal window!

Let me know if you want help implementing!

It's a little difficult to give feedback on a template. I cannot possibly know what you have/ haven't done. Whoops, sorry for necro. Didn't realise this was over a month old.

Digging the 3D cloud, but little else. For a landing page it's extremely dull and I don't really get a sense of any brand. Needs to pop!

Are you referring to the slider you're using, or actual images? When you need help it's easier to post your code/ a link to. If you don't wanna link to your site, stick your code in a pen (codepen) here.

I highly recommend looking into responsive grids. It would solve the above and, well, is responsive! Take a look at Skeleton.

While I strongly advise against it (after all, what ARE clients paying you for? Perhaps the backend, but...), if you must use a template for your clients' website(s), you are obliged to purchase the extended license.

Perhaps emphasise on the free element!

Lacks any kind of brand. I can see your logo in certain pictures - why not use it? Finding it a little off that not a single link can be identified (at least mark them with a different colour/ hover event/ outline/ etc), although it is a little more obvious with the text in the header.
