Hello chaps and chappettes,

Finally got a website going showing my work. Feedback muchos appreciated.

Thanks!

site looks simple and easy to navigate..one thing that bothers me however is the darkbrown text on the black background...strains the eyes a little to read it fluently:cool:

Hi Tommy,

Looks nice! Might want to change the spelling of "cantact" to "contact" on your home page.

Really nice images. I love the composition of all of your work. Good luck in the future.

i'd like to see the images a tiny bit bigger, and not automatically scrolling through.

 

also, is your website a personal project, or a site for catching work and attracting clients? only if it's the latter i'd re-word it to be slightly more proffessional and less chummy.

[Tommy L]

Wow, thnks for the really quick comments, esp the spelling mistake! Strat, I guess your right. I know very little work actually arrives via a website, but i got tired of uploading attachments to send on every email i sent to cold email a potential client. So this site is something i would refer them to. I could tighten up the english a little.

Thanks

you're right. i dont find any work comes in via my site, but i use my site to woo clients and secure work with them if after an initial contact. a very usefull tool.

initially nice style.

 

jus a few pointers -

 

the title that appears at the top of internet explorer says "- home-", maybe u should change that.

 

on the navigation bar, only the word "Links" starts with a capital. i think it should start with a lower case to match the others.

 

i think u need more links in ur links page. add link like http://www.cgarchitect.com, cgsociety.com, and other related sites.

 

i think there maybe should be an option to view some high res images in ur gallery, maybe when u click, another window opens and displays the large image.

 

id also change "other bit" to something more profesional like "personal" or "extra". "other bit" sounds like uve missed something out.

 

the photos passworded page was really annoying! i clicked on it, and it asked me for a password, which is prob simple, but i didnt know it. now when i tried pressing back it wouldnt let me. i had to come bk onto this forum page, and click the link again. this wont impress a client, and they prob wont reopen the page.

 

hope i havent been too bad , jus my view.

 

good work, and u cud have an excelent site with a few changes.

Like the american montage Tom, but how did you get the muppets to model for the shot......!!!!

Eyup Tom,

 

nice site. i like the personal feel to it and the humour too. 10/10 for getting the muppets into your image!

Good start Thomas. How are you trying to display your 'image'? Right now it's screaming 'freelancer'. If that's what you wanted, you definitely hit the mark. But, if you eventually want to create a more business approach, you should separate personal from business. For me, I created a personal and business-based website from the start. Thank goodness I did that...now I have a personal website (with tons of pictures and personal info) that gets around 3,000 visitors a day and a business-based website that focuses on my business.

 

Also, as someone mentioned in an earlier post, you should change the title of your page (i.e. 'home' or in HTML terms the info in the
