Redesigning my portfolio site

Featured Replies

Very nice site. What is the script you are using? The colour scheme is very clean and calming. The only thing I would suggest is that when you click on one of the porfolio work, that it opens in a new browser window instead of the light box effect.

 

Saying that it still does a good job. :)

Its just a jquery script. yeah, i think i'll get rid of the lightbox on the web work. my problem is htough that some of my work is not online so i just have images up. might just use the lightbox for sites not online.

cheers

Your site isn't coherent. Your menu doesn't fit to another part of your site. It's look you stick it, because you had to have menu. Generally some of your works look better than your portfolio.

Nice site, I like it a lot! The bold font and white on black scheme shows off your work effectively and the information is clearly laid out. It will certainly impress prospective clients! On another note, what script are you using for your tooltip if you don't mind me asking?

I like it, but here's just my thoughts.

 


  •  
  • The menu effect was a tad disorientating, if you faded the others out it'd probably be better (and look proper swish ;) )
  • The slider could do with better easing, it looks a little sluggish.
  • The slider seems buggy? It seems to randomly skip sections if you start going back and forwards.
  • Some of your tool tips have the bottom left corner missing
  • When you get to either end, the button should disappear, or have a disable state, or just loop it back round.
  • This on your light box disorientates me as well '8 9 10 11 12 13 14 1 2 3'
  • Your send button seems out of line slightly

 

That's all i got though :p

 

Overall it's pretty swish.

Looks really nice.

 

Something I would change, though, would be in the footer where you say "If you have not already noticed how important the internet can be for your business I think its time you opened your eyes."

 

To me, "...I think its time you opened your eyes" sounds a bit brusque, I would be tempted to change to something like "If you have not already noticed how important the internet can be for your business, open your eyes."

yeah, true. to be honest i am gonna rewrite the whole site. it needs me to site down and actually think about what im gonna put in it. i prefer the design side of things rather than the content which may be my downfall!

I think the fact that he has the live site in the lightbox and not just a jpeg is quite cool. I love it when people put a twist on the norm.

 

I love the site. I'd be impressed if I were a client :)

Looks good!

 

Problem: The whole thing is supposed to fade at the sides, right? Except when you slide the content, there's a clear edge where the content is disappearing on one side, and re-appearing on the other. I'd make a fade.png, and fit that on both sides of the slider's container, so that work fades in and out, and keeps with the theme you've got.

What's with the Thundercat's favico?

Couldn't see any info on their about you...

Thundercats are go! i still ahve to work up the content side of things. the index page as a large black area under the banner that im gonna put in some info about myself and maybe latest and up & coming work. still have a few sites to be uploaded. (which means i will need to drop a few of my older sites)

thats a nice idea. i'll do that when i get a chance. still need to work up the flash page too. cheers

one thing thats annoying me, not sure if any of you's noticed or if its just me being picky. if u view it on a larger screen the background moves slightly to the left as its a fixed bg. did any of you's notice that? i like the background but if its too noticeable i may have to re work it
