This is my first version of my portfolio page for my freelance web development aspirations. I’m looking for feedback and criticism on all aspects of it: Design, function, performance, usability, anything please go through it and tell me what you think. Some things are placeholders, so ignore those. It can be found here: http://cameron-burkholder.github.io/cameron-burkholder . Again, any feedback is appreciated.
Some text on your slideshow are getting lost due to the dark background in some of the photos. I think too much black/blue in your photos.
“Website Renewal” – thought it was about domain renewal. Maybe use another term? Refresh? Maintenance? Upgrade? Facelift? Remodel?
Just a minor comment - The rectangular photos on your core services looks so sharp and angular… have you tried using a circle photo? Use a square photo and just apply border-radius: 50%
On certain browser width, the Core Services section is just a mess. Need to test it on all possible browser width.
You really should reduce the sizes of the images on your website. They take too long to load on a slightly slow connection. Also a live preview type of thing for your projects would be nice to see.
So I’ve fixed most of the other issues (besides the text for the image slider), but I don’t know how to fix the core services thing. On my laptop, I use the Chrome Dev Tools to test different screen sizes, and when I set it to iPad, the services look fine, but I guess on a real world browser it still gets messed up. Currently, it uses relative units (VH) to set the margin between rows. Should I use pixels instead for that media query?
As in the other reply below, I used relative VH units for the tablet media query for the margin. Should I use pixels instead? Or is there a way to make some sort of min-margin?
You need to create media queries so you can re-adjust/override the dimensions/margins of your photos/divs on certain browser sizes. Right now, you’re not using any.
