'Hello my name Ron Coalson, I have 10 years experience with in the traditional and interactive world. As you browse through my work, you will see, that I enjoy playing in the channel of web, mobile, broadcast, and traditional. I take pleasure in projects that promote the bounders of what can be achieved by merging the traditional real world with the experiences of the virtual world.
As a Creative Director, I have a belief structure that I abide by to insure clients are delivered the highest premium product. The belief system is reasonably straightforward. I believe in organic listening, strong strategy, execution, and most importantly results.
Presently, I am Creative Director at Rosetta. All of my life is devoted to them at the present moment. Although, I am always opened minded to any fascinating projects that may appear.'

Yeah dude seriously, just delete that page. Noone about anything other than your work, and the English sucks on top of it.

- Could point. I wrote in 5 minutes. It is out of there.

The work looks really good. Your content area is quite wide with the project info out there on the right. I don't think there's anything on the about page that makes sense - starting with 'Hello my name Ron Coalson'

It is funny. It is so hard to write BS about yourself and I am the worst at it. I definitely debated putting it in there. Thank you for confirming my inter thoughts.
- It's really not needed. Your work is all that matters. People know you design, thats all they care about.CygnusZero4
- he already said he took it out. wtf.chalk

That 'Find Me' fly-out tab is really distracting. It just kind of sits there whilst you're looking at other stuff, and I wish I could get rid of it.
Otherwise, yeah, you've got some fine work in there.
- Maybe flush top and add a lightbox?
rson - Why not just a footer?Continuity
- Not a bad idea. But, it will fall below the fold. I can not believe I just said that.rson
- You did. :DContinuity
- true let me look into the footer.rson

As far as that find me, honestly I think the only things in there needed are the contact information and the resume. LinkedIn is useful too.
So why not just lose the tab on the right and take the old about tab and rename it connect or contact, and put that information on the old about page? It would tighten things up a little and would get rid of that floating tab.

rson, what you could do to solve the fold problem with putting your contact/social media/cv details in a footer is to add a 'Contact' link in your nav, and have the page do a smooth/eased auto-scroll onClick.
At least that way, you're still giving the user an indication that content is that, but tucking it away neatly so that it's not distracting from the work (the tab).

Hey QBN'ers thanks for the great feedback. I am going to go back and add contact info in the footer and see how that feels. I will update tonight. This is why I heart the QBN. Really appreciated. Thanks

BTW I just ran my fist 5 mile this morning. A little off topic but damn I feel good :)

You list your clients, which serves as navigation, but you don't put a title on your projects so I have no idea what I'm looking at or what to look for especially. It could be anything from rinky-dink web design to full blown campaign development or even brand design. At this point it's too hard to tell and a bit misleading. Cheers.
- I take it back. It's off the screen to the right where I would normally never see it.monospaced
- ever occur to you that people have windows narrower!? there's no way to see the right side of the content!monospaced
- and also, get rid of the fucking iMacs...it's overkill when it's identical on every. single. project.monospaced
- and who browses full screen 27"!? your renderings are false advertisingmonospaced
- Yeah I went back and fourth with the displays. The idea is to have a quick reference for the user and then expand on each project face to face inperson,rson
- who cares. leave the iMacs in. haters be hatin' on the silliest of things.chalk
