    Some nice work in there, but (imho) it's a terribly scrappy site.

    I love minimal, I love lo-fi — but given that you're, presumably, appealing to the greater design community, I think taking a leaf out of Ikea's book and going with vanilla Verdana was a mistake. It may well be ok for the world at large, where people don't really care about such things - but to potential employers?

    Also, there feels like quite a wide gulf between the quality of the work for your site itself and some of the projects at the foot of the page — and then to Ikea &c. It makes me wonder at what exactly your role was as 'art director'. Makes me suspicious that you're perhaps better at managing people or at using other people's creative assets than developing the work yourself.

    'hello, my name is ron' text is .. messy and visually unappealing (well-written though!). in fact, typography overall feels totally careless.

    'the entrepuneur superstore'?

    Perhaps some kind of indicator for 'concepts' to inform me that I'm about to hit a password-protected area?

    Why does the menu widget stop following me, around half way down the page?

    • Oh. I wrote all that, then read this was a joke thread. Well, fool me.detritus
