    Hey Israel,

    I'm into minimalist design so I'm happy every time I have the chance to go trough one.

    I like the sleek logo ;)

    Here's what I have a problem with: 1. Sound. It's annoying. It's not needed and beeping every time I hover a menu item is simply frustrating.

    1. Colors, menu. I like the grey of the logo, I would play with the dot's (the i letter) and try some combinations. The problem comes when you try to navigate the site. The grey for the menu is way too bright and the letters to small. The clickable area is awfully small. The active menu tab is not working properly and most of the times you don't know where you are on the site.

    2. The navigation arrows, letters don't match with the menu font / colors. E.g. you're using blue to highlight the active letter and black for the active menu tab.

    3. The home page is an extension of your portfolio page ... it should have definitely more content, more relevant info about you and what you do, integrate social stuff there, news, etc.

    4. The news ticker is a no-no. It's like the annoying marquee tag overused 7-6 years ago. I advise against it. Move the news to the content part, no need to have them in the header.

    5. The contact form has a button that doesn't submit the form. I know it's still work in progress, however i would have liked to see how the validation works :)

    6. The back button on some of the pages is not in style with the menu and is not very noticeable.

    7. I like the more link style, it's a good call to action button.

    That's about it for now. Nice work :)
