I could use a little feedback on my folio site's design: http://korpusdesign.dk/

You could maybe do with a little more space between the projects.
You like white sites, huh?

If you are going to have an English version and look professional you should really look for a copywriter to do your copy.
Detritus has a way with words...
& What's a "empirical target group"

English text needs work. It's very generic and the bottom part of the site doesn't look special (basically, it is full of white space). I like how you have the quotes changing.

the browser windows and then the full size crop side by side don't work for me. and it's all a bit bloggy.

do it side scrolling, it'll throw them all a lil

at my resolution 1680 x 1050, I can see 3 projects at once and I don't like that...

should say ""Korpus - we dont understand search engine marketing"
home page looks ok tho the work all looks like cookie cutter blog templates?

don't like the grey box which is butted up against the same grey of the browser window.

I just added a little extra space between the entries on the frontpage.
You're right about the English content - I'll look into it.Dancer: My point is that the analysis is based on empirical data. Perhaps I'll just strike that word out.
Jaline: Do you suggest that I spray some color on to the lower part of the pages?

i think if you need to show screenshots in the browser windows dont display them on a grey background, just get rid of the grey border maybe, just have on them on white with the slight drop shadow that you get with osx window screen-grabs. It would make it much less boxy. separate your work a lot more as well.

No templates or blog software used btw. :-)

I agree that the projects could be portraited better. However, I'm having a little trouble deciding how to do it best. Any suggestions on that?
And thanks for the feedback!

not too many vertical one pagers find a nice balance for all resolutions... that's why I do like the horizontal ones better....
not that this is what you're trying to do, but still one of my favs for displaying work well http://www.spin.co.uk/
- I agree one of my favourite websites, so simple it hurts!!!uncle_helv

Maybe separate the project elements rather than smashing them together (two columns?). Not sure about the gray gradient on the sides, seems kinda choppy on my monitor. It's nicely done tho and showcases your style.

Good point, I'll keep it in mind next time I need some copy...

doctor, your grey gradient needs some fixing. i see a bunch of vertical lines going through the grey rather than a smooth gradient.
