PaulRyan Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I have recently updated my site/portfolio, totally changing the layout/design. As I have not finished off the main functions, I'm just looking for some feedback regarding the new looks and feel. URL: http://www.paulryanmc.co.uk Thanks in advance, PaulRyan.

Dusaro Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Maybe add more features on the sides, too much white space... Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245894-personal-siteportfolio-updated/#findComment-1263104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM1 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thoughts: Serif fonts are generally unfriendly for the web. Look for a sans-serif alternative. Along the same lines, I also dislike the small indent you have with the body of your text. It's so minute that all it does is make your site appear that it has alignment problems. If this is your site to advertise yourself, then why is your blog the home page? Look at other, professional freelance sites. The ones that know what they're doing have their advertising spiel and a couple examples of their best work front and center. A blog is not a selling point. Examples of your work are. Don't make your entire portfolio your home page. Just the one or two projects you feel best highlight what you can do. Speaking of your portfolio, you need links to your actual projects, and better large images. A small corner of a site here, a header graphic there doesn't say much of anything. In fact, it creates the impression that you're not proud of your work. Else, why show so little? Do you have a logo for your own business? Even if you're not an official business entity, you still need to look the part online, on your invoices, business cards, etc. Make a logo or icon, even if it's simple.

PaulRyan Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Some great points Nightslyr, I'll look at all of those and come up with something Also, some of these project are not live as of yet, so I cannot provide links to them, although bigger images would be a plus. Thats why I love PHP Freaks, great help, always! Thanks, PaulRyan.

u214 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 It's a bit plain as they mentioned. I'm a big fan of colors that go well together, I don't think "Yellow", "White", and "Black" go well together. Maybe if you reduce the white color, it would look better. Not bad though Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245894-personal-siteportfolio-updated/#findComment-1264990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
