Hey everyone, Just finished my new portfolio site and would love some feedback, new to the Kirupa site and like what I’ve seen so far. If you’ve got a minute check out [www.zartwurks.com](http://www.zartwurks.com) Thanks, Jeff(-: ---

This might sound stupid, but after extensive searching I can’t find the enter button/place to click to enter the site. (-: Either I’m really very stupid or you need to make it stand out more 😛 Welcome to the forums BTW 🙂 ---

thanks colin for the feedback, the enter button is the middle line of text where it says “enter site 1024 x 768” hope you’ll take another look…JK ---

i would change the splash page text. For me, the text is small and hard to read. Try using a pixel font and im sure it will turn out fine. Good luck:) ---

Thats why, its not big enough on my 1600x1200 monitor to see it well enough 😛 On to the site… its a nice site, when you click the arrows to advance its really smooth but if you click on the of little boxes, its really abrupt. You might want to look into another way of going about that. It takes a tad too long to “construct” itself… to get all the movement stopped and at the home after opening the window. Otherwise, you just need to clean up the graphics a little. The arrow buttons seem crammed… maybe making the arrows inside the circles a tad smaller would do the trick. Hope that helps, good work though, with some improvements its could be amazing PS. I HATE FULLSCREEN! 😛 ---

nice smooth/lively site. you should get rid of the scroll bar in the fullscreen, or put it on “auto” at least. ---

Why not open the site in a normal browser window? ---

hmm 🙂 very cool navigation, one thing…speed up fps a bit, on the splash page make enter button more visible…and inside once u get into the main screen 2 that nav its really hard to see all the way down…font = white or light gray… nice…and in portfolio section instead of color boxes you could use small previews… keep on working on it! peace ---

> This might sound stupid, but after extensive searching I can’t find the enter button/place to click to enter the site. ahahaah! soz 😛 Hey Jeff, a very interesting site 🙂 But as it happens, yes the splash page. If you could, make aware of the enter button so ppl can see it clearer and don’t use [js] window for your site. Because its fullsrn, it makes it hard for users and annoyng :). if however you want to keep it [js] then its ok, it your website anyhow 😉 ---

I really do appreciate all of you taking the time to check the site, your feedback has given me a few things to fix…the enter button is obviously an issue so I will make it a little larger and the fullscreen pop-up is another issue that seems to annoy people, the reason for that was if you are running 1024 x 768 it just fits in the screen perfect…I would like it to pop up in a window but I want it to fit full screen and couldn’t find the right code to make that happen…if you know how to do that please feel free to share…your input is very helpful…thanks ---

> \*Originally posted by EthanM \* > \*\*Why not open the site in a normal browser window? \*\* Yea, I hate when people do this. It’s so hard to surf on other sites while the full screen one loads. But besides that, the site looks nice, you could give it a bit more life with some colors. ---

made some changes, if anyone is using higher resolution than 1024 x 768 please let me know if the text on the first page is easier to read, hence the enter button is what i am curious about…plus for all you who hate fullscreen i fixed that so it is just in a browser window now, seems to be better for you with big resolution…peace [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/new-portfolio-site/41984.md?page=2)
