My New Portfolio Site

I'm trying to become a freelance web developer and I've been working on this site over the past couple of days.

What do you think?

http://www.imben.co.uk/

 

clean and simple. I personally don't like inner site links opening in a new window.

 

Which links? The ones on the portfolio page? I thought they would be better to open in new windows as they are sort of different to the rest of the site.

 

Look simple but maybe better put some additional information.

 

I wanted to take a look, but the link is dead.

 

I've updated it quite a bit now. What do you think?

Sorry, server troubles.

 

The only thing that kinda bothered me is loading time regarding the big background. But visually its good.

 

I've compressed it quite a bit. Its now about 300kb, it was around 700.

 

your site is good but sites in portfolio looks not very good

 

now it worked

Looks good and functions well.

 

Simple, professional, clean. 10/10.

However, I have a single question. do you have rights to use the picture thats in the background?

 

The site looks quite good

 

Look Good and well link maintained. But you should change the picture that set in the background!!

 

so simple
need more colours
best wishes

 

very simple and clean
nice work

 

Hi Ben,

Nice looking site.

I think however that it needs to be less about you and more about what you can do for your customers. Prospects need to know "what's in it for me."

Don't do yourself down, tell what you do, not what you hope to do.

You have done very well with the sit design it all comes down to tweek, tweek and tweek again.

All the best.

 

The layout is nice and clean. And site is easy to navigate. Also, the background where was it taken?

 

The white background the text is on, is maybe just a little bit too transparent, as the background is somewhat distracting when you try and read the text.

 

When I first loaded the site I looked at it for a few seconds before closing and coming back to here, at that point I was thinking "it feels a bit like a domain parking page I can imagine a shtload of ads all over here", then read some comments and see there was a background, so go back and let it load, it looks a lot better with that but if you could try and make the bg load faster that would be great but I know that's not always possible.

Without the background, to me at least, it does feel like a domain parking page. I'm just trying to be honest (I would expect the same from people reviewing my site(s) but you can tell some people are just trying to get their post count up).
