    I've very recently revamped my site: http://shrten.com/q9k
    What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Very nice site, clean and well laid out. Also interesting to see that I've actually stumbled across this site wmtutorials.com using google and had a good read so thanks. Overall I like the site, it's simple, yet not (if that makes sense), easy on the eyes to read and well laid out.

    Nice layout... the iframe at the top is a little confusing. Might look better with full site thumbnails, but otherwise very nice.

    very generic.
    you need something on your website to distinguish your brand from every other website out there. maybe for your particular website, try out a new logo and use a bubble hover for your top menu items.
    all the best with your website.

    @DomainPawnshop - How do you mean confusing? It's a simple slider which slides through some of my recent work.
    @capsis - Thanks for the comments, I might invest in paying for a nice new logo :)

    Thanks, keep them coming!

    Great! I'm happy to hear that you like it. Do you have any suggestions for possible improvements (apart from the logo which I know sucks).
    Thanks everyone!

    @Python - In my browser, all it showed was the corner of web pages, thus the suggestion that thumbnails would work better, as then I could see the entire, albeit smaller web page. If the thumbnails clicked to a project overview for that site it would be all the more helpful. It's not an insult - just a suggestion.

    @DomainPawnshop - Yeah, the problem is that if I was to shrink the full size images it would lose detail. Full size images of each are on the page which they're linked to.
    @digitalpointdino - Thanks :)

    Really nice and clean design, but personally I do not like too much white color..

    Yeah it is quite a bright design which plenty of whitespace. My previous design was quite dark with lots of dark blues so I've gone the complete opposite.
    Thanks for the comments! Anyone else?

    Brilliant - I'm happy to hear that almost everyone is liking this new design. Usually it takes me quite a while to create a design I like - funny thing is that this one didn't take long at all, and it's so much better than the last!

    If anyone has any more comments I'd love to hear them!
