Portfolio Redesign

This is a beautiful design!

I'd suggest adding a call to action somewhere that lets potential clients know whether or not you are available for hire (ie. a "hire me" button in the footer that leads to your contacts page).

Add a pager for the slideshow on the projects page - that way clients browsing your work will have a better idea of the large amount of great projects you have completed so far. Alternatively, provide a grid-based layout of all your work.

Overall, though this is a clean, cheerful design. Great work!

Very playful, if this is a goal then you totally got it :)

This I like! The point is straightforward, I immediately understand, it's a nice design and I love the recent work at the bottom. Excellent job.

i like your design, it'soo clear!

Hi Celia!

First off, great design! I absolutely love that it's so clean, clear, and easy to navigate.

One of the things that I'd look for as a potential client would be how you interact with your clients. Do you train them? Do you answer questions?

I'd suggest adding a link to a blog where you post different tips & tricks on things that clients would be able to have you implement on their websites. This would be great to keep existing customers coming back to your site and requesting more work.

Besides, most clients aren't too knowledgeable about joomla and wordpress, so showing them the capabilities of these products is a great service to existing and potential clients!

Also, in regards to what Serina has suggested, why don't you add a button for a potential client to request more information instead of having a general "Hire Me" button? You'd avoid your employer getting upset about your availability and still allow potential clients to contact you about projects.

Hope this helps! Great job!

Overall a very nice design. But I think you're trying a few too many ideas at the same time.

Play with this: Lose the TV, much smaller icons, push on your work (page 2 is better), remove the black page footer. I like the small hand drawn "more" button. Perhaps more like this to counter weight your strict corporate portfolio stuff? Keep the nice humane color scheme and the text blobs. Play with non-linear concepts and hand drawn details.

Looks good and clean. I love the amount of whitespace used in the design.

A couple of things to look at:

1. Like the icons but in page 2 the left and right buttons seem to skew away from the main theme. Maybe make them look like the embeded looking navication or drawn in arrows.

2. The first page seems pretty bottom heavy. I wouldnt remove the footer but lighten up the color maybe even use teh blue thats in your color scheme.

All in all super job

The only thing I would due is tie the dark charcoal color of the footer in with the rest of the design more. Great work here though, it's looking really good!

don't use colors on a headline. Just make that pop and don't be cute with graphics and colors on it. the colors are nice down below but contrast the text better so I don't have to work to read it.

its pretty good but it needs better use of text contrast work and no use of grays in headline. use orange so I read the headline instead of your name. make your name in gray if anything so my eye goes to what you're selling first.

I like your color palette, and design style. Contact form is piece of art! A lot of nice touches such as: matching social media icons, arrows, pop-ups. Very wholesome design.

Although icons in top navigation might be confusing. Even though you have self-explaining pop-ups I would still use word in all cases except home, it's more explicit, and more familiar for the most of users. I would also make headers of same level same color and size (e.g. 'About' page)
