The text slides off the layout in my Opera browser, but it looks nice other than that. Good for a personal hobby portfolio, but if you want business you should probably tuck away the sig stuff and add a Logo and Template showoff section. Looks nice, but a bit empty on the front page.

I like the playful type on the site, too.

Hi,
I already gave my opinion about the design in your other thread. I like the lights you have added to the buttons and About Me section.
Now, about the website, I know you said you are new to coding but it lacks some interactivity to me (rollover effects, etc.)...

I hope the Updates and News section the way it looks now is temporarily there? It doesn't fit the design...

Yes, this is just a beta version as in I am learning in coding. A 2nd version (which I will actually update often) will be created soon.

Good template to begin. You can easily recreate this fully with pure CSS and achieve even greater visual presentation. This will also correct the main issues your site has; positioning inconsistency, load time, and text clarity.

I recommend keeping the "Signatures" and "Others" template the same as your "Large Pieces". Having the objects enclosed in the gray box gives it more presentation. If you can, make all your portfolio icons/examples have transparent backgrounds so they dont clash.

On the Contact page, I recommend establishing a form system, as opposed to just displaying your email. This achieves 2 things; it looks more professional and it saves them time. In addition, do not list set prices. This makes you look unprofessional and cheap. Only establish your charge once you know all of the work that will go into each individual project.

If you would like references to accomplishing any of what i mentioned above just send me a pm.

OK, thanks for the help, I'm really a beginner at web design, so I really appreciate it, I'll PM you when I'll need help coding.
I will, as previously stated, re-build a completely new (and improved) website, with better coding and designing.
Thanks for the comments, I will definitely listen to them for my next web design project.

Hi,

For some reason the large pieces section, the images are scattered about. I think the background colors wash-out your images. Maybe since you do mostly sports, try using the team colors but in matted tones (not the bright primary tones) to enhance the images.

nice work but one thing i can help you is that you are using sliced images i guess from photoshop ... ! the images are too big you might wanna make the pattern as a background it will load much faster
