    Hello,

    Please take a look at my portfolio ^^
    Most of my works are 'art', manipulations, etc, although i do design websites, they aren't there yet, since i want to finish my last (and HUGE) project before adding them to the galleries.

    In any case, here it is: http://psnick.com

    I hope you like it!

    The site looks great however, it may be difficult to generate a high
    volume of organic search engine traffic because the site is a flash site.

    Thanks!

    I know that, but i prefer to show my work in a smooth and attractive way than having the html site.
    For google i added meta tags, and also i will post it in some other places.

    I really like the site, especially the "Nick" on the homepage. Did you do it yourself? I'm actually looking for someone to create a logo for my site. I know exactly what I'm looking for, but haven't found someone who's able to give me the quality I need.
    Sorry for getting off track; I like that the flash makes it run smoothly and that it opens to a few sample images. If I could change anything, it'd be to make the text a little larger.
    I can read it okay, but it'd be easier if it were bigger.

    Thanks, it might be a possibility, maybe i'll change the text size, or maybe the font.

    Please use the contact form on the site to send me requests. I currently have a few offers, but depending on what i have to do i might be able to work on it.

    Thanks again!

    Thank you!

    Yes, that's something i didn'tthink of at first. The reason is recause it's in flash that you can't scroll down and you have to use the bar.
    Still, it's a small thing you have to do, and only once since the page doesn't reload, so once you scrolled once, you don't have to do it again (unless you wanna go back up =P)

    Nice flash work. Sound sort of jumped out at me. Do you do flash work for others...we are always looking for good flash and photoshop designers for contract work. If so PM me some sample rates. Keep up the good work.

    Thank you very much for the review!
    I do create flash websites for others, but my preferred area of work is html/css in the case of websites, but i thought i needed the best for my portfolio ;)
    For photoshop work i have no problem, i usually make some time to make them (Either logos, manipulations, etc). The thing is, i'm currently working on a HUGE website that is taking most of my time.
    Feel free to send me an email through the contact page anyway, i will answer as soon as possible.

    Thanks again!

    I think it looks very professional, but I am not sure if music is necessary, not that it is bad or anything, but I personally don't like to hear someone's site have music while I get on it.

    Nice site although I agree with the above as I think most people will turn the music off. Maybe you could turn the volume down on it so its quiet background music?

    Too slow?
    What internet connection do you have?, it's about 200-300kb, so it should load pretty fast. After that it loads the music (another 200), but you're already watching the site.

    Thank you!
    Alright, more than one suggested that so it's a big possibility that i will do it. It'll wait a bit more some other oppinions though.

    Thanks again ^^

    I love it. The color combination is great!

    I really like the flash animation. It's nice and to-the-point portfolio.

    Thank you very much =)

    It's usually hard to find a great color combination to match the site content, but on my 'dark' websites i usually use black + green or blue.

    I like it, but you should change font to another one. It's too small... :( Little bigger and more readable

    Thanks ^^
