Feedback on my Portfolio Website

    I'm very green with web design and html, but I've managed to build this website for my art portfolio. I've only seen it on my laptop, and am not sure how it loads on other browsers/monitors/etc.

    Would love any and all feedback on how it looks and how it works for you.

    Thank!

    Mia

    I like it. Loads up fast. I like the art even more. What is this type of art called?

    I also like, both the site and the art, there are some masterpieces there; I liked the one "find alligator, elephant and bird" most! :)

    The site is simple and elegant; I like its light layout, dark themes are trending nowadays, so this is refreshing for the eyes; it adds to overall impression of happiness behind the art.

    I like how it responses down to mobile layout - from four column, sidebar plus three columns layout, the columns dissapear one by one all the way down to one-column mobile layout. In other words, it is responsive and displays properly both in 24" screen and on mobile phone.

    I get the warning that site does not run https connection; there is SSL certificate by Let's Encrypt, but there's something wrong with it. Since you don't require user to enter any sensitive information, it is irrelevant security-wise; however, some browsers have settings to warn visitor if there is no https, so you might want to check, in order not to lose traffic.

    As for speed, it loaded fast for me, too; though, some tools give different results, attached screenshots, you might want to have a look and adjust a thing or two...

    Overall, for a "very green" designer, I'd say it's an excellent outcome! :)

    We don't often get to review websites that blow us away - I'm glad I decided to check this one out.

    I picked http://mianovember.com/Walk.html at random - your work is amazing!

    The very clean style of the site works beautifully with the images and you have enough white space around each to showcase them nicely. What might be bland on a wordy site is perfect with your art. It loads quickly, looks great on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
