I decided a huge porfolio website wasn't needed as I design under another website alias so I created this simple portfolio page, please tell me what you think.

I like this buddy, it's simple and does the job. Nice use of pastel colours too!!

 

One thing I would say tho (this might be only on the iPad) but on each paragraph section, the left boarder doesn't seem to line up with the top and bottom of each paragraph........if that makes sense

Hi Philip.

 

The layout is clean and simple. However, the vertical alignment of text - is such that - it doesn't all fit on my screen. I'd widen things a bit - ensure that everything is seen *above the fold*.

 

The background pattern is distracting. Makes reading the text difficult. Also, a darker font might be best.

 

Hey - hope this helps!

One problem i see is that to users with even slightly bad visions right through to quite drastically impaired will have a hell of a time trying to read that white on blue text.

Another vote for fixing the text. The contrast is too high and the texture of the background is too vivid. Other than that, though its a nice layout.

I think it looks stylish - nice and simple.

 

The logo reminds me of haveamint.com - looks good.

 

As per other comments, the blue bg on the links is v. hard on the eyes.

 

Looks great though - very clean and straightforward.

What a simple clean design man, it works well. I do agree make text bigger for readability and you'll have it bagged good Job man

Well done sir!

 

The website is clean and simple. I do agree that you need a little more contrast with the links, perhaps just make the text a darker color and you can leave the blue alone. The typewriter font is a bit hard to read when up against the background. Besides those suggestions, I love it. Less really is more!
