Work/About really need to stand out more.
I'm ok with how the work is being presented. It works, which is good enough. I didn't have any usability problems, so it's fine.
I think that the About page should be simplified. People are only coming to your site to see your work. That's all that matters. Everything else is not necessary, so info about your inspiration and lifestyle isn't needed and is just cluttering the page up. Noone really cares about that stuff, they just want to see your work.
When people first create portfolio sites they feel this need to put all this info up there, and really not a single thing is important to anyone outside of your contact info and the quality of your work. Stuff like blogs and all that, noone really cares. Just focus on the work, limit the amount of copy as much as possible, keep it very simple.
- I agree with you about the About page. What I had before was basically a few sentences, then someone suggested expanding it.AmandaLee
- expanding the content....but I definitely agree I prefer to have the highlight on my work vs meAmandaLee
- Keep your about info. It is appropriate someone at your level.sisu
- Established designers and internet-famous designers can leave out all the info but it looks like you're looking for a job or freelance, no? Clients/companies can get a sense of you with that information and feel better about hiring you.sisu
