My Personal Portfolio Site, need some reviews

    Hi, Well there are a few kinks that need to be worked out on the website like the frontpage but i am nearly finished linking the wordpress to the frontpage to allow content to come through.

    This is my personal portfolio design, i created the wordpress theme and changed that into html for frontpage. If some links do not work, please tell me...

    Reason for this review: I would like some comments and criticism on how to improve it.

    Website:

    http://jagmit.co.uk/blog/

    Frontpage:

    http://jagmit.co.uk/

    ^not completed yet.

    Also, i have completed a full validation of the website and successfully achieved xhtml and css.

    ____

    Change log

    [1] Changed the blue..to black
    [2] Added a bit of colour in the background

    [6] Removed the background in the header
    [7] Changed the uppercase font on somethings..

    Thanks for the feedback guys, i have updated the blog and only the blog. I have updated the style and taken a lot of your suggestions into consideration.

    I like your site; it looks smart and professional, and the colour scheme is great. Just three minor suggestions:

    1. The header font is bland and lacks aesthetic appeal, which is especially important given that you are selling yourself as a graphics designer.

    2. Is it necessary to capitalise everything? It feels like you are shouting at the reader! Only capitalise the first letter of the phrase, or the first letter of every word.

    3. In the left-hand column, I would remove the white highlighting around the blue text. The grey background is fine.

    your site is very cute, but the size of letter on the left panel is too big, reduce it.

    There is blank area in right side on your site, it make looks wide. Your font size is too big, make it more small. Best if you change the font name also.

    "No thumbnail" in blog gives impression of incomplete works.

    it is simple and easy to understand, but the style looks very old by today's standards

    just scrolling through the website, the font makes it look like you are shouting at the user. Maybe change the font and size throughout the site.
