your portfolio doesn’t have links to any work, just text descriptions. are they made up?
issue: when you click HELP it opens up a pop up window. the first problem you address in your help section is “Nothing happens when I click enter.” - then you explain that it’s a pop up window. the problem is that your HELPO section is also in a pop up window. so if a user is having a problem with the ENTER button not popping up the window, they are going to have the same problem when trying to open the HELP pop up. no?
fair enough, maybe you could put those sites that are no longer online in an archive on your own server so that you can link to them and people can see your work.
The site is pretty nice visually, but there isn’t much to interact with once one is on the content pages (email address can’t be selected/clicked on, etc.).
The green glass image reminds me of the Bacardi Mojito site:
Just wanted to make 2 quick suggestions about the copy on the site.
In my opinion it might be an idea to remove the welcome message altogether and replace it with the “About” section, because the first sentence doesn’t really sit well with me. The first thing I thought when I read it was “I’ll try and fit you in between lectures” rather than “I’m eager to work so give me money to make your stuff look good”.
Also, on the “About” section, I wanted to suggest more or less swapping the first two paragraphs so it reads more like:
“I’m Noah…I’m 19…I have years of experience…I use Photoshop, Flash, etc.”
“I live in London…go to uni…study blah blah blah”
“My full profile…”
I thought it would be best make sure your most important assets are first and foremost on that section, as it’s the only paragraph you can read in its entirety without scrolling.
I think the site looks really good. Nice and clean, and great color. The fx you used are nice too…but I think theyd look a lot better if you removed some frames and made it punchier–they all seem to be waiting thier turn to much (the ones when its first getting put together). Not sure if the rollovers are intentionally slower on fades in/out–but thats something again I think would look a lot better a bit faster. But anyways, yea other then the speed of the fx I think it looks great.
