Skemcin Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'll offer my quick two cents...For a site's who's stated purpose is not for freelance but for full-time employment, the content doesn't coincide with the objective. If I were you, I'd make my homepage a copy of my formal resume, have my about me section reflect my work ethics, beliefs, and/or methodologies. I'd add/solicit testimonials and/or offer some case studies (here is situation and here is how you resolved it for the client). As it is now, the site comes off more as a freelance marketing tool.As for the design, its not bad, but the white on black makes difficult to read/follow and (for some) impossible to print or copy-n-paste. The way your twitter posts are brought in is a little bulky and blends a little too much with the rest of the design - it doesn't stand out or seem to be very distinctly separated.

Synook Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hey it's you again! :)Try cutting down on all the different fonts / point sizes you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danm68 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 What's more important? The information, or the twitter posts?My eye's immediately went to the twitter posts.As skemcin said, separate it, and maybe smaller text?More spacing!I think the larger the text, the more space you want. (List just before the bottom of page)And the top of your footer feels a little close, and separate the links as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsilk Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Overall, okay. I like the choice of subdued colors. A lot of it is pretty big, though. You know they say when you use ALL CAPS it looks like you're yelling? I feel the same about font sizes, as well. Also, I was checking some of your portfolio sites. For instance, your logo, as well as the FirstChoice Group site's logo has a lot of jpg artifacts. And the Shruti's bg has a really grainy appearance. Keep in mind that most people have broadband now, and you can design for that. Your thumbnails needn't be that big, either. Lure them in with a smaller thumbnail of the whole page.Finally, I think you can fit your whole home page without scrollbars. Not bad for a first go.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atar.yosef Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hello there!!!I think you need to improve the styling of your web page.It seem to be some boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulbish Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I like the way the colors go together and it looks very professional.But I think you should put an html version of your resume, just in case the viewer does not have pdf plugins.
