Person Website Critique

[PaulRyan]

I have redesigned my personal website, and would like some critique on the new look.

 

It's not a portfolio or blog, it's more of a dumping ground for new things I find out and general grievances of developing.

I have plans to allow downloads of some small script I have developed, but need cleaned up first.

 

Thanks for your time, PaulRyan

The design is simple and clean, which I personally like. But, if you are doing this to promote yourself you may have to add a little more creativity. It all depends on the person who is viewing your site.

 

The only thing that sticks out at me is the content at the bottom. The site is supposedly "your" personal website, yet the content at the bottom is in the third person. If it was your business website that might make more sense. But, as a personal website it seems off. Should be in first person, in my opinion. Also the line about "making many sacrifices along the way" seems like you're wanting some pity. I'd drop it.

Thanks for your critique, I'll change the footer to the first person, and also remove that line of text.

 

The comment about the design is spot on, this isn't to promote myself, more so just to show some new things/tips etc I pick up along the way in developing, as well as code I develop over time.

 

I haven't got a personal website/portfolio to speak of at this current time, this is something I will bring about in the future hopefully.
