Hey everyone! It's been a few weeks since I've been on the forum and that's because I've been practicing and improving my skills by building sites through wordpress. I just recently completely overhauled my portfolio using wordpress (man I love WP! ). Anyways, I used some of the newer to me techniques in it like CSS3 and also made it responsive. I took the responsive a step further than most (which would just be mobile, tablet, pc) and made it responsive for mobile max 550px, small tablet 551-699px, tablet 700px-959px, smaller pc 960-1250px, and larger pc 1251px+. That way if you drag your window on your pc right now it never loses content.

 

Anyways, my goals were to make it simple, clean, and appealing to the viewers eyes. Let me know your opinions on it!

 

Cheers

ugly layout

You need to work on your grid system somewhat, so things aren't constantly hugging the left site of the screen with each successive breakpoint.

Thanks for the advice, I was kinda thinking this as well. I changed up the image sizes, got rid of the image borders, and fixed the layout so everything has the same margins on each side of the screen.

 

Also, I still have to fix the image sizes so that they aren't so stretched looking

Honestly, I'd just use bigger images then do width: 99%; height:auto;, also make sure those images are the same aspect ratio as the container they're filling.

 

Also, I see you're using wordpress, just wondering how you got those images boxes then links to child pages?

Are they a custom post type?

No The homepage is just recent posts and the boxes are set up in divs with just the normal the_permalink linking it the the post page

Not sure the colour scheme works for me. Also I'd tone down the drop shadows.

Hey there, I agree with what the other guys have said. You don't have a coherent theme for the colors, they con't come together that well - it's not a unitary look. You could try a color paletter from Colorlovers - they're usually very balanced.
