hey people,

what does everybody think? the works not anything special just yet but what about the site design etc?

Nice, clean. Simple.
You might want to offer the user a bit more control, like maybe 'forwards, backwards, slide show buttons' or maybe a thumbnail menu to enable a jump to a particular image. When you have more work on display it might be a little frustrating having to sit through loads of images to get to one you remember seeing in there somewhere.
On the plus side it loads quickly, so there is no hanging around for an over fancy site to load up.
Looks ok to me.

Thanks Duffus

I had buttons on it for months but i could never get them to look good on the page! As long as I keep the number of images to 5 or so then it should work fine... and then also gives me some images to save for interviews etc.

But thanks very much for looking!

nice work, on the site, already you have passed 5% of the course which is at the end of it to have your own website promoting your work. nicely done. I like it a lot

[itschriswebb]

thanks geldslaw!

it's evolved massivley from what it used to be. it had buttons and about me sections before.

i just thought less is more.

hello everybody! been ages since i posted on this forum! it's been a long xmas of partying etc!!!

anyways... i'm just putting the finishing touches to my all brand spanking new super duper online portfolio website!

itschriswebb.com : design portfolio '08

what does everyone think of it now? any suggestions?

[Jelmer]

It looks great, one of the best portfolio sites I've seen around here so far, i like the minimalistic design! In terms of html and css you can improve it if you want to (but that would mean you have to start again from scratch, because you're using tables) but it looks good. One thing I would do is replace the ----------- with a <hr>, you can style it to make it look just like that with some css:

hr
{
color: #000;
background-color: #000;
height: 0px;
border: none;
border-top: 1px dashed #fff;
}

Firefox doesn't like those windows media player videos, maybe you should add a download links as well, since a lot of users use firefox as well.

Looks great to me too!

If anything maybe just space each section a little more to make it absolutely blindingly obvious what belongs to what....no big deal but it does tend to all blend into one big paragraph.

Other than that, nice one!

Regards.

Very nice work. I like the layout but you might need to change it once you post more work as you dont want the main page to be too long. I checked out your CV too and I think the design, use of colour and layout is brilliant! The orange on the white background works very well. Great Job

[itschriswebb]

thankyou very much those of you that have given me some feedback. good to see a lot of positives there!

there are some things i want to work on. i can see how a download button would be good as that way people could choose which player they want to see it in. also some sort of preloader would be good but im not sure how that would work in html. as for the tables and spacing everything out i will def look into it!
