Thanks a lot for the suggestions, Adam. I'd rather keep the text as it is, simply because I want to use as few images as possible. As for adding more spacing between the four context areas, I can't really. It JUST fits on my1024x768 resolution, although I suppose I can try with fluid widths. I'm going to re-think the colour scheme, the colours there were honestly just hastily thrown in as I tried to make it less dull. I'll also see about reducing the image sizes. Again, thanks a lot for the reply.

I recently revamped my portfolio. It's HTML5 valid. The CSS is NOT valid because I'm using rounded corners and transitions. The image gallery is pure CSS. Overall, I'm happy with it. Right now I don't have a lot to show, but I'm currently working with a client, so I AM doing work. http://pete-murray.co.uk/

Pretty much. I can design, but it's really difficult for me. I know all I have to do is practice, but right now, it's a struggle.

I also forgot to mention, regarding my level of skill, I believe my level of skill in graphic design is adequate for the website design I do. The reason my website is lacking graphics is that I wanted it to be more functional than anything else.

I figured that would be an answer, and I completely agree. I'll include some graphical elements to my design and create some better examples in my portfolio.

This is my online web development/design portfolio. http://pete-murray.co.uk/ I like it... I just feel it could be better, especially since it's a web design portfolio. The thing is, I'm still not a great with graphics yet... Anyway, I'm looking forward to your opinions.

Don't I feel stupid. XD Are their any security issues with?: <?php $page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 'home'; //checks if there is content for the chosen if(file_exists('content/'.$page.'.php')) { //if there is, it is included include('content/'.$page.'.php'); } else { if(file_exists('content/404.php')) { //if their wasn't any content include('content/404.php'); } } ?>

Here's a live example, I'm having trouble explaining. http://pete-murray.co.uk/ Valid site. Links all work. http://pete-murray.co.uk/random/url Breaks it. It's because of the slash in the URL but I don't know how to go about fixing it.

I tried (I think regex) on it to ignore slashes, I couldn't figure it out. I'll take a look at the link, thanks.

I hate to bump, but it was on the second page and I'm still not sure how to fix this. ><

strtolower is basically just "string to lower(case)". It just converts a string to all lower case.

Ah right. Cool. That seems a lot easier than the $pageID method I used.

Would that not cause problems in sub directories? say the URL was website.com/directory/index.php The link to website.com/index.php would be active. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh right. I've never really used PHP_SELF, jsut read a little bit about it.

I'm hoping this isn't too far off topic, but this article explains the security issues within PHP_Self.
