Hey everyone, As you probably don’t know, I used to be Ωmega…anyway. [http://www.darkmotion.com/rampagingwalrus](http://www.darkmotion.com/rampagingwalrus) That’s what I started tonight, what do you think? It’s going to be my portfolio in time, I think…I know I’m only young but this may be a good hobby and make a little cash along the way. Anyway. Tell me what you think, good or bad. Oh yeah, one thing. I know the image backgrounds don’t match the page background. Well they don’t in my browser. Peace, Ben ---

Well, there ain’t too much design stuff up there to pass a judgement. I think you’re leaning more towards a webdeveloper rather then a webdesigner. I may be wrong though. Had a quick look at your HTML and CSS coding, which looks clean and organized to me. A few small notes: - I’m not to keen on the h1, it could use a little more tracking. - the starburst background colour isn’t the same gray as the background colour underneath it. But as I said, there’s not quite enough to tell how good or bad you are. So I’ll reserve that for later 🙂 ---

Also, the text “I aim to deliver high quality web design and development” letters are too close together, it might just be the font. ---

nothing really special… your portfolio has got to show what makes you better than everyone else ---

> [@BlueNar](#): > > Also, the text “I aim to deliver high quality web design and development” letters are too close together, it might just be the font. Not just that, all the heading text if you look. i.e. Developments, My Skills, etc Other than that I’d say its a completely functional site (I think?). Just a little thing, on the golden stars, the background color doesnt match. Edit:// Right someone mentioned that. I really need to start reading the rest of the thread. ---

yes i must say nice logo. also maybe try a darker green in the background. But it has a nice feel to it. Waiting to see your work. ---

Ah yeah. I see it now, the letter-spacing is a bit small isn’t it. It looked to add a nice effect in the beginning but now I see what you mean. Thanks for the comments. I’ll take them all into consideration. I think I may delete the web designer part ☹ What do you reckon? Should I? ---
