| 1 | I think you shouldn't use opposite color. I now that you wanted to get project name stand out from the site but i think it still should be blue as all other titles.

| 3 | i would change this to: 'It represents me as a web designer and the projects..." |
| 4 | that 'empty stomach' phrase doesn't translate correctly. also, the word 'tend' isn't a great choice - it is too casual . I would write: "I always strive to finish projects in a timely manner, even if it means skipping some meals to get there :) "
|
| 5 | typo. Should be 'began' |

| 1 | Same issue with the messaging: small businesses won't understand 'i am not an expert at this'. You are asking people not to hire you. Lead with something positive. Stay truthful, but don't tell them what you can't do.

The design aesthetic reflects your styleThe design is simple, but it is very much in keeping with the type of design you provide for your clients. There are nice little touches like the handwritten font that help communicate your message. | |
Messaging: specialized in a few...This text doesn't work for 2 reasons: i think it will be confusing to people who want to hire a web developer when you say you are not a professional. They won't understand the nuances of that statement. I think you should have a simple, declarative sentence or two about your strengths "I excel at delivering clean, eye-pleasing, user-friendly..."

"at a glance"The about me pave is very easy to read, and easy to scan at a a glance. I like the 'so what's next' | |
Overall, i think the tone and clarity of the content is very good. The overall impression is that you are eager to please, helpful and very enjoyable to work with.
Nice job.
Thanks, you really helped me with the content.

| 1 | What's the value of "freelance" in your description? I know you're available for work, otherwise, why would you have a website? How about "terrific web designer" or "innovative" or "original" or....
|
| 2 | It's like "freelance" -- what other kind of estimate besides "cost" would I want? I guess I'd like to know a time estimate as well, but don't you include that? So why not just say "request a quote" or "get an estimate."

| 1 | Hey, I see your picture up in the CF user page, so I know you're not Elephant Man or horribly deformed or so otherwise unpresentable that you won't put your picture on your 'about me' page. This bugs me. I want to connect with you as a person, so let me see your face.

| 2 | I would suggest getting some copywriting help. |

| 1 | Talk about what you are best at, what you're good at, and what you bring to the relationship, don't talk about what you're not so good at. |

| 1 | I won't point out all the spelling errors, but they are throughout the site. I know English isn't your selling point, design is, but a good finished product includes an attention to detail. If you have spelling and grammar errors throughout the site, it indicates that you aren't going to put that professional finishing touch to your projects. Maybe this is an unfair comment, in that this is still a work in progress, so forgive me if that's the the case. If it isn't, then fix these errors!

| 1 | Hey, I like this a lot. I went to your live site to check it out, and wonder, why not make this an interactive online form, instead of a Word document?

| 1 | If you're going to feature this as a service on your home page, then I wouldn't say "I'm not an expert." If you're going to provide this service to me, all I want to know is that you'll get the job done yourself, or you'll bring in others to provide expertise you don't have. |
| 2 | Since this is your best strength, why not just feature it, and it alone, and leave out the coding and CMS, where you aren't as strong. Talk about your great design skills, your ability to create great user interfaces, and leave it at that?
|
Love the look and feel. Now focus on your messaging, get some help with English, look at other copy on other sites, and take this to the next level. Definitely an improvement on your existing site. Good luck!

| 1 | Does this answer the question "Why should I hire this web designer?"
|
| 2 | Eliminate "MY" - "Featured Projects" is about the clients, and not about you.

| 1 | If you are interested in solution selling at a mid-size business level, you need to segment your portfolio into industries. At a glance, it you are telling the visitor you work on non-profit websites versus for profit business sites.

| 1 | Be careful... It's not about you.
Think about doing a site for a plumber. What's more compelling:
- his availability?
- works after hours?
- certified plumber?
- featured examples of his work?
- articles about things homeowners should looks out for?
- DIY tips?
My point here is - some of that list meaningful & compelling, some are not...

Hi Zlatko
Clearly - you are a very talented designer. I only have minor tweaks for you.
Well done!
Thanks Michael, very practical advice. I'l check that video and the screenshot you provided me with.
I would've breakout my portfolio pieces into industries if they were more than 10, but I'm sure they won't be. I was forward planning that in case I reach a decent number that needs categorization. But you gave me the idea to at least just mention from which industry the project is.
Liking the logo its very basic but stands out. the sketched box next to the text pixel inspired is a great touch, Well done on this concept. Would like to see a live preview online though :)
I can certainly try that. I just imagined this way could look more balanced & playful.
