    I love it - clever, clean and functional - succint and elegant too. Just how portfolio websites should be, imho.

    That said, I do have a couple of *minor* niggles..

    - On my 20" widescreen monitor the subtlety of the design breaks a little - the about and portfolio links are miles to the right..

    - As a user, I'd appreciate some state change between the main nav two buttons - even if it's just subtle.

    - Woody Warehouse logo : why does it get to be in colour? (reveals weakness of WW branding, i feel)

    - As a client, I'd like to know a little more about what each project achieved. It's strange - you're confidant enough to lead without images (about) but not explain what you did (portfolio)?

    - Weird issue in Firefox, my other tabs get locked up and glitchy when I'm viewing a project (probably something to do with the mouse pointer hijacking)

    - Why don't the +/- symbols match the x symbol stylistically? The close window X and functionality is beautiful - bring it on to the +/- too.

    - headUp logo should, imo, link to homepage - not contact. 'Contact' should link to Contact.

    Please note that I wouldn't be detailing all these niggles if I didn't like your site - I simply wouldn't bother if that were the case.

    Good Luck!
