current site looks way better... for your type of work, it's best to keep it simple, and a simple scrolling page is better than the alternative.

I don't understand :(.
The current one IS better, in comparison. But I'd change the background at least.

Whoa.
Why not try a system like Indexhibit or 4ormat? Something that would be easy to set up for yourself and update when you need to.....

Look at the end of the day mate your not a web designer and it shows, it's nice to try and do everything yourself but this site is letting you work down and it looks amateur at best which is a shame because you professional work is great. I would invest in a web designer, if it gets you more work your website will pay for itself.
- what he saididentity
- i won't take advice from a "designer" who forces one to scroll to even see any image on his site. (u ain't designer either and it shows too)pr2

SUMMARY OF THREAD:
*Enter pr2
*pr2 requests feedback for his site, claiming clients are put-off by the lack of organization and overall site usability. Proceeds to request feedback for newly redesigned site.
*Enter other users with lots of good, concise feedback for many of the issues pr2 has addressed.
*pr2 completely ignores any feedback then continues berate users for their comments.
*pr2 fails at life.

the color palette seems to be all over the place as is the type selection and size. all you do is video and you provide just tiny thumbnails with a quip about the project?? find a grid and use it. i would do at least 2 thumbnails at 480px wide making your two thumbnails as wide as the site with details below.
- u didn't click any thumbnails?pr2
- i did, but it's just too much clicking, just get to it is my pointquack
- but then i would have an avalanche of images that you have to scroll throughpr2
- you are having a hard time minimizing this into a fluid experiencequack
- select 2 strong images per project and move onquack
