    Portfolio - I'm aware that many of these projects could do with creating mockups to give a more prepared feel, but are there any that should be removed altogether? Or any favourites that I should give extra attention to?

    For context... I do all types of design, but my specialty is internal comms, presentations and events. Basically I'm a designer and a PowerPoint expert. (I also specialise in Rich Picture illustration but there's much less demand for that)

    • Great stuff. Your website should lead with your specialism and what you can offer rather your experience. The Strategy guide for Virgin Media looks fantastic.Chimp
    • Hmm good shout. It's a little tricky though, as presentations often don't look as good as printed material. But screw it, I'll push some presentations upProjectile
    • Design and layout of the page feel a bit dated. Use hi-res imagery both for your work and iconography - they look a bit blurry.duckseason
    • Reduce the amount of projects and focus on those you feel create the most impact - there are currently 34? Some look like duplicates at first glance.duckseason
    • Work on how you write about each project. Tell me more. What were the benefits and/or results? Give me more qualitative and quantitative metrics if available.duckseason
    • Your about me section doesn't really tell me much about you, rather more like a laundry list of traits. Consider making it a bit more personal.duckseason
    • ...and replacing everything else (skills, software) with a link to your CV. I don't think Flash and Dreamweaver are necessarily things to highlight these days.duckseason
    • Perhaps refer to them in more general terms of animation and HTML/CSSduckseason
    • The back button does not work when you view a portfolio piece from the homepage.monNom
    • ^ yes - great points all. This is why I came to you lot! Lots of work do do, a lot of which is culling, and elaborating on the finer pieces.Projectile
