    Hello all - as always I like to get some feedback on my work. I just recently revamped my personal website so if anyone has some time to give some unbiased feedback (positive or negative) it would be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    Looks geat. Maybe a bit messy. The other sites that you have designed look better. I would give more importance to your potfolio. Some are impressive.

    Greetings and thanks for the reply. If you don't mine me asking - can you be more specific as to what you mean by "a bit messy"? It's a pretty simple site so I'm curious what you mean.

    Thanks.

    Greating.

    By messy I mean that when I enter I see a "4 boxes structure". Just the picture call my attention. Then I read the titles to get an idea about what is the site about. But they just read "Welcome", "Services" and "testimonionials". So I scroll down and I find a "three columns structure". Then from the heading "Proyects" I get an idea.

    I would prefer a welcome headings that says something like "Wordpress theme development". The picture looks write. Later "see my proyect", "testimonials". And "Joing my newsletter" call to action to contact. I mean something that can reduce the time to know the site proposal in two seconds.

    Just an idea 😉

    PS: I love your site http://carolinehayden.com/

    Thanks for the feedback! I understand what you're saying. I think I like the one word headers better -- keeps it uniform, but I certainly understand what you mean.

    Thanks for the compliments on the other sites as well!

    I like it!

    It does feel a bit busy/cluttered though. A little more vertical whitepsace in each content area might help.

    Hey Matt, I just had a quick look and my 2 cents worth is as follows:

    First off, the home page loaded very fast, so well done on that front!

    The site is nice, and bright and colourful and looks modern, which I like.

    I noticed 2 things which I thought I'd bring to your attention as I would have done them differently:

    a) The titles of the recent posts - I would have liked a smaller font. As it is, it looks heavy and clunky.
    b) I would have less of the preview text for the PondHole project.

    As they stand, I think they make the page look a bit cluttered. I would like to see more white space. That's just my opinion though and I am no expert (I'm not a developer or anything).

    I hope my comments will be of some help. Best of luck in everything and warm regards,
    Indika

    Hey Indika,

    Thank you for the feedback! I do think reducing the size of the post titles is a good idea. They are <h2> tags which are that size throughout the site, but they do look a little oversized there.

    Again - thank you for taking the time to take a look! I certainly appreciate it!

    Cheers,

    Matt
