Design b seems to highlight the page content and navbar better, would personally choose that one.

Yep, the logo looks to be all good now I was on the desktop version of Firefox.

And the information your Dad or whomever uses it as a quick reference is likely to be false. I really can't believe we're even having this discussion on this - it's like debating the colour of the moon.
On what planet can a resource that publishes (A lot) of incorrect information be considered a resource even worth visiting, never mind good? Especially with an alternative like MDN.

I've just shown this thread to some of my colleagues who are all senior or higher developers and they just shook their heads in disbelief. You'd get laughed out the room at any reputable dev environment if you tried telling them W3Schools isn't bad.
 
NFC212: There isn't a single article on W3Schools that even closely resembles that of MDN, you are talking nonsense, if you are that adamant that there is then show me and example to counter mine.
 

The title next to logo is displayed wrong in Firefox (wraps onto newline).

You shouldn't just test against common or even existing devices, you want to check all of your UI renders at any possible screen-size. There are countless devices you are unaware of and many more being designed and released.
If you have a decent understanding of CSS this should all be trivial.

Have you turned it on and off again?

background-attachment fixed has horrible scroll performance implications.
 
What you want to do is create an element that has position fixed and positioned over the entire viewport and add background-size: cover. It has no browser issues in this instance. Also add transform: translateZ(0) to force this into a composite layer which forces GPU rendering, this will also improve scroll performance.
Then add another container to hold all your content and place it above your background image using z-index.
<div class="page-background"></div> <div class="page-content"> ... All your content </div> .page-background { position: fixed; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('my-background.jpg'); background-size: cover; transform: translateZ(0); } .page-content { position: relative; z-index: 1; }

There are many way more capable code editors than notepad++
 
Sublime, Atom, VIM, and IDE's like Webstorm.
 
 
As for the command line - I didn't come from it either, having only started coding just over 3 years ago, but it's how modern web development is done, so I like some others on here have embraced it and learned to work with it, and now I wouldn't want to have it any other way.

Linux I love it. It seems faster than Windows, there are fewer hoops to jump through, it doesn't try to force updates, and is customisable. The software available is perfectly adequate for my needs. I would probably have issues if I wanted to do a lot of design work (adobe) but I'm primarily a developer. There's also a significant performance increase with using Virtualbox. And I love using the terminal instead of graphical applications.
 
That said, there was a bit of a learning curve coming from Windows, but the Linux community are amazingly helpful, so it's not much of a problem.

i'm concerned for the choices for vegetarians and vegans - how do you make it accessible for them? carrot sticks?

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll keep it, as more people seem to think it's a good thing than not.
 
Jakdothtml -
Okay, I'll have a look at that.
 
Jacobg830 -
Thanks! That's what I was going for
Yeah, suppose I'll have to re-draw it at some point...

I am going to use it every time I can't decide, but you have to fix this:
 
satsuma.jpg is an image 3456 x 2304 displayed as 224 x 168. and v slow to load. It will drive me nuts.

I've just changed two mop heads which was a more entertaining experience than looking at your site. I have no idea what you're trying to convey with it.
 
The first thing that strikes is your scowling image stuck right in the centre looking as if you would sooner be somewhere else.
 
The jarring, transition-less slider seems totally out of place with the rest of the page.
 
The nav buttons change on hover but don't work unless the text itself is clicked.
 
The form is, well enigmatic to say the least, I wasn't inspired with confidence to enter anything into it.
 
The colour scheme is drab and drear, like a rainy day in Port Talbot.
 
The only reason I bothered to look at the About Me page was to get away from the damned slider flashing away.
 
None of the links seem to work.
 
I was however amused by this in script6.js
$(document).ready(function(){var profileDesc=$("<p>The most handsome web developer</p>");

Well, I have a few different idea in mind thanks to your feedback fisicx!
 
 
Thanks, I don't see SVG logos that often, but when I read up on it, it seemed like a good idea.
 
Contact form is a planned feature.

I think it looks pretty awesome.
 
Maybe make your social and email buttons more prominent, making it easier for folk to contact you. When clicking contact in the nav, it isn't obvious where your contact details are.
 
For tablets, I would keep the logo beside the navbar, not on-top, as that would greatly help reduce space used.
 
Nice to see a SVG being used for the logo

Just published a blog post if anyone is interested. I don't blog often, but I am trying hard to do so when possible.

The blog post contains nothing that would be considered illegal and is purely for educational purposes only (as always). It merely demonstrates how a malicious hacker could take things one step further.

LOL, that made me laugh. Wonder if they can read this:
yield: ({*yield(){yield yield;}}.yield((yield) => yield)); * I saw this on Twitter and fell in love with it
 
On topic I generally find working on "real-life" projects is how you learn best. Especially when you have a deadline
