Well I put this site together to show off my work and also help people stay in contact. It is a Wordpress install using the Pro Version of the Mini Card Theme. The theme has had quite a few modifications done to it to help speed it up. I have tried to make the site: - Fast Loading - SEO Friendly - Easy to Navigate SITE: http://chrislowthian.me.uk Please tell me what you think It's not 100% finished but getting close!
I'm not really sure what to think, I was kinda confused as to what this page was all about. Maybe you could tell people exactly what it is when you land there. -sgt
good business card, but it will make people confuse, better you delete "What I'm Saying" just business card and your portfolio
Simple and clean... but the landing page is full of bookmarks, and to big. That is not what you want to sell right? not your bookmarks. What you want to sell is your content. I think add the bookmark below is good idea
Depending on whose research you believe, you have 4 to 7 seconds to answer 2 questions for the new visitor. The first one is "What can I do here"? The second one is "Why should I do it with you"? If that is the minimum standard for the effectiveness of a website, yours is a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10. After you address that, maybe someone can help you. The ultimate proof, of course, of how effective you website is, is whether or not visitors do what you want them to. My bet is, you are in trouble. Meanwhile, where you say "Web Designer In Training", I would put the "In Training" in capital letters. Kind of like "Caution . . . student driver". Take a few minutes and search Google for "website designer" and look at some results. Compare that to your site. Speaks for itself.
This is not a website ... the first landing page is only show social bookmarking. Very poor for your first landing page. Delete it and show the original content for your website. Very poor ... i don't like that. Rate : "0"
Nice and clean, but would suggest for the social media section to perhaps be placed under your portfolio.
I think its just ok... Could have been much better. Why have you used wordpress for building a single page? You could have created a custom made HTML page..
I think it is important for a user to be able to ascertain what the site is about and why I would be interested in navigating deeper. I would work on making your message clear and use the top portion of the landing page to create that message. I was a little disoriented at first; however, it is a good start.
i would emphasize the person name and his profile. Now the first impression is on social bookmarking icons
Nice theme, you should probably personalize it more It loaded "okay" on my end Apart from that I believe its still a WIP so I wouldnt start saying you should add a pic etc
Hi, I checked your portfolio website. Here's my review: - where's your picture? - if you are a web designer in progress, it could use some frontpage design showcase projects. It's nicer if we can see or view your works at the very first load of your page. You can use the extra plain spaces you have in your frontpage. - the links to other sites you have is a very nice idea. try putting a Share or a "recommend/bookmark" button as well. - Your favicon could use some work too... there are so many designers nowadays that starts with "C".. you can also add your motto or tagline, for me that adds up to the personality of the designer All in all, your site could do some improvements... just don't give up! Designers live to inspire! Have a Great Day^^
