Hello I was just wondering if I could get some feed back on my portfolio website www.ricardogarciaalvarado.com I was trying to go for something that was clean and professional not to flashy. My logo is based for my love of film and video editing by making it a camera lens ...anyways please tell me what you think and if you have any feed back at all that would be great ! Thanks Ricardo Garcia
Well, some actual content would be nice, and it's overreliance on Javascript means by default it opens to pretty much a blank page here (since I browse with scripting disabled by choice) and none of your navigation works -- the use of dynamic fonts inside fixed containers results in a broken layout at large fonts/120dpi, the entire design concept doesn't scale well (if at all) to different display sizes, and you may want to look into checking your spelling as there's a few boo-boo's in there. (like "Fallow") WHEN it works (firefox within a narrow range of widths) it is a nice clean layout -- some people might bitch about the harsh contrast level, I think that the black and white banding just makes the sections clearly defined. Under the hood, it's typical of what I've come to expect in the age of "the future is called 1997". From the HTML 5 lip service when you aren't even using HTML 5 (not that I EVER would), to the presentational garbage caused by building with some goofy off the shelf grid framework, to endless pointless javascript for christmas only knows what, to static style inlined in the markup, to inlined onevent attributes doing CSS' job, to endless pointless DIV... It's 8.5k of markup doing 3k's job. About the only positive thing I can say is at least your heading orders make sense -- even if the 'circles' ones quite obviously shouldn't be headings since they aren't actually the START of subsections. My advice, throw that stupid 'grid styles' framework in the trash, forget HTML 5 unless you REALLY have your heart set on that stupid malfing 'VIDEO' tag (which has done nothing more than return us to the WORST of the QT vs. WMP vs. RM era), swing an axe at ALL the goofy scripting for NOTHING, use CSS for your visual effects like those hover states with image-recombination methods (like the incorrectly named "CSS Sprites) so the hover states are pre-cached and use a fraction the code. You're basically using 358k in 26 files (not counting the VIDEO) to make it inaccessible and broken -- for what I'd be using around 100k in around a dozen files. You've got a good visual concept, and at least you are TRYING for a responsive layout -- but off the shelf frameworks for HTML+CSS basically defeat the point of even using HTML+CSS in the first place, and rarely if ever work in the wild... despite wild claims to the contrary by the people promoting the use of such nonsense.
