    the design is nice tho the content area is to small.

    you are making people scroll and stress to get to see things. Make it larger and it will be easier on the eye and more welcoming.

    I agree, It has a very nice design, but you should try something bigger ,) just an opinion, but looks really good.

    The first thing that popped into my mind was the buttons too. They look out of place.

    thanks guys, i do agree with the content area being small, i will leave it, and change it later most likely.

    I'll have to agree with most everyone else here. The viewing area is a bit small, but the overall look of the site is astounding. I must say, I've been on DP for a week now, and every day I see something better then I saw the day before. Good job!

    Your header font needs some serious rethinking.
    It's too big, too bold, and a poor choice.


    Your design itself isn't terrible, but your buttons are.
    Very clashy, and very-unoriginal.
    Re-do them for sure.


    Other then that, not too much of a problem.
    Could use some sort of a background effect though.

    I like that you can click on the images for a larger version...but it was not apparent I could do so until I tried!

    Some of the TN's aren't showing up for me? WTFblocked!, BidZap, HQMP3, Zeropaid.

    Like everyone else has said, larger :)

    Otherwise I like it so far!

    it seems i agree with everyone else here, i love that the initial page content is small & compressed but i was kind of hoping that a new window would emerge when clicking the portfolio link (similar to the way the images actually enlarge when clicked). I'd keep that index page the same size though.

    and as for the buttons, i think the color scheme is right but the actual glass effect seems a bit rushed, you should make them pop a little more with some shadows and maybe a slightly curved highlight line? you may want to make each button a little bit smaller as well .. so theres roughly a half-inch or more space to the left of "home" and to the right of "contact" .. the larger buttons almost amateurizes (i may be reaching with that word) the look of the rest of your design.

    hope this helps a little! i think you've got a great structure there and your actual designs are quite nice!

    very nice.. I like the retro style.. good color combination... But isn't too small for a portfolio?
