BrandMooreArt Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 your "works" page is a bit of a mess. instead of showing so many thumbnails in one area, just show a shot of 1 project for each of your different areas (web, print, etc). the rest of the site looks pretty solid and clean.

drdougfresh Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Very clean. I like the blue/white combo, and the script/sans combo in your logo are refreshing, as well.A couple of criticisms, one is personal preference, but the other two are more usability:- As Brandon said, the works page is a bit cluttered. I think you're also missing an opportunity by not having the screens on the home page link to the works page (I'd probably just make the entire object a link). Ultimately, you want people to view your work and hire you to work for them (I'm assuming) -- think about the user's path there. Right now, there's not a clearly defined path to the conversion point (contacting you). I'd make the works page easier to get to. You should also get a PHP contact form set up so it's easy to make that happen.- The kerning on the all caps type is very tight and which makes it tough to read, and a bit visually heavy for a subtitle.- Personal preference thing: You've got a very cleanly designed site, but the way information is presented feels very overwhelming. The about page, for instance, is rather lengthy. I think you can definitely get the same amount of information in there in a more visually appealing way, and you should definitely put a photo there -- it's about you, after all. People connect with faces, not words A basic slider (I'd recommend LayerSlider or Slider Revolution, both $10, but they give you a lot of layering/movement freedom) might work a little better with the visual theme of your site than the iMacs, too.One other thing that may be worth considering is using some toggles or columns for your resume, so it's easier to sift through the names and information, and nothing gets lost below the fold (the rest of your site does a very good job of this).Overall, a lot cleaner than many personal sites I've seen before. I think a couple tweaks will really make this thing stand out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derschwigg Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks, Doug! I've already implemented some of the easier fixes, like the kerning and the home banner. I'll look in to the other form and overall curation later this weekend if time permits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
