olospo

Hi everyone, just wondering if you'd give me some constructive feedback for my portfolio website. There are things with the website i'm not completely sure about so would be nice for people to say what they like about the design and where i can improve it. olospo.co.uk Thanks in advance, Tom

Someone needs to introduce this designer to CSS. The "CategoriesList" code is just stupid. 1,524 lines of code! I can't deny it looks nice but this designer really needs to work on their coding.

Hi Sandra, Looks pretty good, the alignment does need to be worked on (nav bar for example overlaps). The code is very messy but i have a feeling this is because you are using a site builder (if this is the case i wouldn't worry about it as much) Also maybe too many images in the sidebars?

No this is my point... scrollbars aren't part of the site, it's part of the browser. "higher education, is the non-compulsory educational level following the completion of a school providing a secondary education, such as a high school, secondary school" Higher Education wiki

you shouldn't really be messing with scrollbars... not yours to mess with (it's not part of the website) higher education = uni or college

You are joking right? nothing is best viewed in IE. I'm not meaning to have a pop at you but i'm confused why you'd put "Martial Status" on a clan website... and a 12 year old in higher education?

I'm studying web design at UWE, Bristol. Because i had done html, css before the first year was a doddle and meant i could spend more time drinking and sleeping. This year however we are doing more complex stuff and i'm really enjoying it. Defiantly recommend it you get to experience uni life while doing a really enjoyable course.

Thanks, i'm going to continue tweaking it when i get some spare time. Wish i'd done all this in the summer when i had 4 months off

got rid of the php and it's running smoothly, very weird.

i love that site i submitted the picture i can has cheezburger?

My cat is called Neil, his brother was called Finzi (before he was run over ) We are getting a new kitten in 2 weeks time, calling him Arnie Neil:

i think you should experiment with the font for the word "tapas" other than that i like it, defiantly wouldn't look out of place above a shop window.

yeah i think the php on the page is slowing it down, strange it doesn't load though... no idea why the php is slowing it down.

I think by 2 years experience they are talking about working with html, css (and probably having a portfolio of past work). It would take up a lot of time and money for a company to teach someone all of this, that is probably why they aren't giving you a chance (they don't want to have to hold your hand) I'm currently in my 2nd year at uni studying web design. Although most of the learning is done by yourself the tutors are there to show you what you should be learning and correcting you if you're not doing it right. I'm pretty sure you could sign up for a short course in web design somewhere or even teach yourself. Best of luck

Made changes to various pages, any more suggestions? For the homepage i want a news posting and comments system (almost like a blog) but have no idea of doing this.

I'm currently waiting to hear back from 2 clients so i've spent the whole day surfing the net and making minor changes to my website.

I don't think you'll find that many people going on facebook to find a web design company, however people do seem to spend insane amounts of time on it they may just stumble across your page.

I do freelance web design when i get some spare time, i'm currently in my 2nd year at UWE, Bristol studying web design. This keeps me occupied most of the time, i'd like to go out more but funds restrict me doing so i do live in the center of Bristol though so it's easy to pop out for a few drinks with mates.

no archive feature i don't want to have to click through "view older post" again and again if i know i'm looking for something from months ago.

stunning websites, great advert for flash

Wow very useful thanks

Love the logo, not a fan of the wood look and maybe instead of a gradient background just sticking to the light blue? I think this would really fit in well with grass and trees as mentioned by others here.

mikejonesey - Thanks, still thinking of stuff to put on the homepage. Was thinking maybe a mini blog about my design work etc? notbanksy - Again thanks i take great pride in my code being clean and valid (probably got a few errors but haven't checked yet) I find it very hard designing a website for myself as i never know what i want. I've taken in your advice and started to make some changes. Just trying to work out what to do for navigation... maybe use images?

Hi MacMonster, Thanks for the feedback, i think i will look into giving it some sort of border in the next few days. Any of views?
