ConnorWilson.com - My Portfolio/Blog I just re-released this yesterday after a couple weeks of a splash page, and some comments on the design/layout would be great. The dark colour scheme is a new direction for me, but I think it worked out. This is running WordPress, and it was my first time skinning/theming it as well. Thanks.
Maybe use some gradients of dark grey to black in more areas and get something inthe featured area otherwise i couldnt see anything i liked more! I really like the fonts and the way it all works together! It would seem by some features such as the search bar that you have been using wordpress for a while.
Really nice design...not sure if you want people to be searching, but you can hardly see the search bar in the top right...I really like the blue and the white fonts, they really match the colors and are not to extreme! Great.
I also really like the color scheme you've chosen. If you had a really colorful and sharp looking photograph under the ConnorWilson.com header, going acrosss where it says "featured", it would be even better.
Yes, thats the plan, except for three or so featured articles (images designed for the article) and it will have a scrolling thing. The images are lightblue/white as well. Thanks for the feedback!
Awesome choice on font, text size is great, colors are great, very easy to read. I really like the looks of this blog/portfolio, GOOD WORK. I do agree however that the Search is a bit small and hidden, but since it is a portfolio I would guess your idea is not to have people searching but rather looking at your work.
The reviews here have been more or less positive, but I also posted this on SitePoint, and they were much more constructive. The plan I'm thinking of now involved the main site/portfolio and then the blog is serperate (while still matching) in a /blog/ like directory.
