A Review of My Freelance Webdesigner Portfolio by Tom Waterhouse

It's great having one page sites so you can use JS like crazy but there's always draw backs:

• Typically with these types of sites there is a scroll bar visible which suggests scrolling. A user would be more likely to scroll down before using your navigation to jump down the page. This could go against the experience you're wanting to give.

• What happens to users with a small screen? It looks like the typical 1024 "fold" will be somewhere around the guy's knee. So then you're definitely doing a combination of scrolling and using the JS menu. The 'click here for a free quote' is also a bit confusing on that basis.

• Finally, what happens without JS disabled? I know it's only a few people, but still...

Aside from JS, on the network page what does any of the content here mean? It's a bunch of nice photos of people but what relation are they to you?

On the quote page I love the error styling. The page is clean enough to get away with using these dark styles, otherwise I'd suggest using a brighter redder colour. Basically it's good ;)

Are the drop down boxes going to be JS styled as well?

Finally, a small thing, but perhaps with the 'submit' button there could be something a bit more human with it. "Submit" could be more friendly, or perhaps a 'thank you!' bit of text could be next to the button?

Those criticisms aside the real winner of this design is the simplicity. I especially like the first page.
