Portfolio Concept (Wordpress) v4

I would put some more ways of contact on the footer Direct ways like phone and e-mail. Just to make it easy for people to get in touch with me. Just an idea because de design is really awesome. Congratulations, I really liked it!

I find that the impact of the great logo is reduced by the background

I think you must work a little more on header and footer. The footer is ok but empty, you can try to repeat the menu or insert something else, just don't leave it empty. For the header, i think the logo should have greater emphasis ... may sound fool, but you try to rotate the header backgroung of 180°?

Hey Noel. This looks good. It's simple and well structured. Here are a few things that caught my eye: - The light shining from the top in the header and footer are too bright. They are the focal points of the page, but they shouldn't be as there is nothing overlaying the brightest spot to bring attention to.

• The keywords stretched from left to right in the header could be mistaken for links (I'm assuming they are not links). I would find another way of listing these services (perhaps by replacing the left most case study and combining with the services offered section that is hidden at the bottom right - they would then be html and better for SEO).

• Add a copyright and some contact information in the footer to fill some more of the space - it is unbalanced right now.

Though I think your previous design worked a little better, this works as well. The only change I would make is to move the "RT" to the top left corner, get rid of the long line of text and then put some sort of nicely laid out tagline. The top feels a bit empty, cold and forgotten. Just my thoughts, good work here though!

I really like this concept! It is really laid out well and well executed.

There is nothing to change in my opinion!

Overall the design is very clean and it's certainly easy on the eyes. A few things:

1. The starburst background is a little "OS X" I do like the effect and it is super clean, it's just very popular at the moment... so as far as being original I think it loses a few points there. It is a look. I like the 3rd version the most

2. I'm not sure I get the logo? Is that an RT? It's hard to see an NT in there, and the logo takes command of the page not your name. In terms of memorability I'd think you would want people to remember your name on your personal marketing site, not necessarily your logo. I like screen 2 for this a lot. No logo, just your name. Clean & simple.

Overall good work.

overall i think this is a really solid design. changes you have made along the way have improved the design and third version with tagline is definitley the strongest. Id prehaps bring the font size of the tagline down a bit and increase the logo size a tad, if the copy of the tagline could be reduced down to two lines I think there would be a better propotion with the logo.

And I thought your third revision was awesome, then comes this one. This is a great design no matter how cliche. I really like how you're presenting yourself, what you've done, who you are, and what else you can do. Your structure rocks. The top of your site is a little too much in the first screenshot but I think you've fixed it in the last image by sneaking your logo in there for contrast. I'm glad to see you removed the keywords from your banner, they did make my eye think they were navigation elements.

I know you get stuck with footers and to be honest the only thing left is to add another small set of links to your other pages, blog posts, whatever you plan to add later.

Noel, you're doing an amazing job. As someone said before; I wish we could see how great you are at spreadsheets if this is your part time hobby!

I loved the third style , but i think i'd be great if your put the light source at the top , just like the first style , and add some more sparkling lights .

But when it comes to the footer ... i don't like it , when i first saw it , i didn't realize that its a part of the portfolio , i thought its a stand-alone jpeg !! make sure you put a transition area between the portfolio and the footer ( like a drop shadow maybe ?? ) and put a footer menu there , it seems empty to me .

Dude!...its just keeps gettin better and better! I love this new design!

I would however, rethink the design of the header. I like the background, but the placement of the logo and the description isn't working.

I've uploaded an image to show you what I might do with the layout. (Ignore the colors I used.)

It's quite a good design however there are some elements that just don't work.I know the look you're going for since I've seen it over and over again so keeping this in mind i will highly recommend the following: 1.Cut down on the number of the boxes:I can count about 7 box areas(header,footer,3 portfolio images,about me,services area) that are present here,so there are too many boxy areas.You should have only 4 areas instead of 7,so try another layout idea.

2.Replace the area with the 3 photos with Icons Basically you should have 3 icons presenting your main services:Web Design,Marketing,Photography

3.There's too much text present in the about me area,by placing so much text there you're basically forcing the user to read it thinking there's some valuable info there and thus backfiring at you because users/visitors don't want to read too much,they're interested in your design skills,not for example where you were born,etc.You should keep that amount of text only if you won some awards or you've worked for big companies.You should have around 3-4 rows of text about yourself and a click more button,so if they are truly interested they can read all about your childhood :) on a separate page.

4.You should rethink the whole 3 featured projects that are present in this design.Maybe use only one featured project instead of 3 and besides it use some text like the one in the header of the 2nd & 3rd picture.

Basically you're on the right track but there's still a lot of work to be done.

Hope it helps.
