June 19, 201115 yr Here is my new site its being launched later this week but any thoughts are welcomed. Please ignore the spelling on this jpg the issues have been fixed and new copy is currently being produced http://www.pandadoodle.com/dev/panda/panda.jpg
June 20, 201115 yr Too long in my opinion. Nice ideas though. 12 cans of pepsi max? Making out jobs sounds easy aha
June 20, 201115 yr Author Cheers for the feedback, its going to be a one page site so it scrolls as you read through should make sense once its live Yeah I have a massive pepsi max addiction lol
June 20, 201115 yr Author Thanks adamoverload just wait till I get the photos up on flickr with a panda following me around at networking events ha!
June 20, 201115 yr Guessing your gonna use anchors in the page? I Like it, and love the whole idea of it - But still think static pages would do you better. OR - have a form in your contact section, I think it benefits the clients alot more and the designer. all about ease of acess.
June 20, 201115 yr Author Nah numbers and skype have favored me better than contact forms over the years, there is a dynamic pdf the client can download and fill in once they hit send it gets mailed No anchors no
June 21, 201115 yr Author You have amazing talent and creative ability keep up the good work ! Thank you :blush:
June 21, 201115 yr If that's your real mobile number i'm jealous that's so easy to remember haha. Very nice site I love the drawings and such a laid back approach to clients.
June 21, 201115 yr Author No its not lol! I wish it was haha! My real one will go up when the site is live, same as the skype its panda_doodle not pandadoodle
June 21, 201115 yr nice idea. i'd drop all the info about your family and you dogs. honestly dont think anyone cares about that. your portfolio should be the most important part of the whole site and (although i know you havent inserted the imagery yet) i really sturggled to find where it was! i think you may need to restructure the order of it all. but like i said, its nicely design and well executed in parts, i think it just needs a tidy up in certain areas
June 21, 201115 yr Author Personal stuff works, why do you think so many people use twitter and facebook to post up crap about the lives --- ohh look at me so defensive LOL. Cheers for the feedback though I'm not an ad agency or a web firm im a freelancer, it gives a more human approach don't you think? Edited June 21, 201115 yr by pandadoodle
June 21, 201115 yr i personnally think its unncessary. people will start reading that and lose interest. its what happened with me when i viewed it. some info about yourself is good but i wouldnt bother with too much detail. but again its your call. if you think potential clients will want to read about your dogs then keep it in. i personally wouldnt bother.

June 21, 201115 yr I know what Al's saying. In this case i think the personal angle does work but i would tone it down a bit. Keep the more humorous stuff in their though! Looks great though i must say. Yeah I have a massive pepsi max addiction lol ...and Crunchies?
June 21, 201115 yr Author Cheers for the feedback guys, I'm just aiming to be personal and fun! Hence me going to networking events with a guy in a panda costume following me If it all fails ill tone it down a bit or if i ever go corporate which ever comes first
June 21, 201115 yr Author Ha! I resisted for 10 years think I'll be ok .. plus designing in pants would not go down to well in an office environment
June 21, 201115 yr Watch out for spelling mistakes and grammar man. ecommerce = eCommerce experiance = experience you business = your business lable = label? The whole text after "white lable" doesn't make sense, in my opinion. ill = I'll The italic text on the timeline section is too difficult to read for me
June 21, 201115 yr Author Its only a .jpg, I've enlisted a copywriter to take care of spelling, gammer and all sorts. Thanks for the heads up though
June 21, 201115 yr Hi PandaDoodle I also really like the design, not enough unique looking sites around these days or perhaps hard to find in the massive amounts of templates used. The panda you use is cute ,but the use/lack of color makes it not too sweet and still acceptable for an older audience. I think your personal stuff works as it is, not too much but enough to make you human, it always used to work on my resume, shows you are caring and responsible, which are invaluable traits. My guess is that when you add content to your portfolio it will still be too small compared to the other elements on your page, I would personally spend some time trying to make it stand out a bit more. Also the text in the contact area is almost the same color as the background and did hurt to concentrate. Finally I would probably experiment with more images to fill up some white space in the dark blue container on top, perhaps a simple landscape/background for the panda? Very nice design. p.
