One question that my team and I have been mulling over is the effectiveness of the in-depth case study pages. From user testing it appears that users have a scroll retention of about 4 frames, beyond that people get tired of scrolling. However, scouring the internet you'll find tons of long...

Taking feedback into consideration across the board, we made some key adjustments to our website. 1. Home page has been toned down with the use of an earlier iteration. It's more conversion focused / gets right to the gist of who we are. 2. We re-worked the UX a bit on the portfolio...

Hey Levi, Thank you for the input! Home Page For a little bit more insight on the home page... Our home page is more of an experiment then anything. We devised a message and wanted to convey it in a way that forced the user to read down the page. The blue neurons in the back are a video...

Just heard about this thing today actually (outside of this forum) and it looks like a pretty great presentation tool!

We do have a toggle on the bottom left of the portfolio overview to provide a 'quicker' way to view the work. The thought behind our existing presentation was to create a interactive experience that highlighted our clients sentiments for their experience working with us, as well as a highly...

Hey Levi, Thanks for the in-depth response. The animations are completely CSS3 driven, which means by-in-large they're quite light. Images more then anything would hinder a user on a weaker bandwidth, but in 2014 it seemed (through our research) that most minimum system requires still load...

Hey guys! We recently re-launched our website, and we're interested to hear what the general design community has to say about it! 1. Tell us what you like 2. Tell us what you dislike 3. General ideas for improvements, comments on usability, and overall design are welcome! Check Out Our...

I'm personally of a similar opinion where: if you have the real estate, might as well use it. Another implementation of this is this website I came across: http://humblebee.se/ With how the navigation is hidden (under a icon for the brand) I can't imagine it being effective for the typical...

Also, I'm not sure how strong you are with development skills, but parallex effects would be pretty kick-ass on the home page you've constructed. You can find more info by following this link. http://wagerfield.github.io/parallax/

Hey Guys, More and more I'm starting to see mobile navigation styles (such as off-canvas toggle activated nav's) pop-up on desktop websites. Does anyone have experience using this style of navigation on a desktop website? If-so, how does it impact your conversion ratings / perceived...

I'm going to agree with the first part of this, and then disagree with the rest of your sentence. Your home page is great (however I do believe you need to apply aspect ratio scaling to your image) the rest of the website falls short man. Your website needs to take that same creative...

Not sure how you've got your prices but a comparable mac mini would be $1,446.00 + the cost of the monitor compared with the base iMac at $1299 including a monitor. Is the upgraded mac mini truly comparable to the imac out of the box? We currently have a 'out of the box' imac, and it's a...

Hey Guys, Our company is looking to ramp-up with some new machines, looking through the latest Mac catalog, the new iMac computers look great (Sleek & Shiny) but their specs out of the box aren't great. In order to get what we need, we'll need to order custom with upgraded processors, hard...

To solidify what has been said so far: You should know enough (And this goes for anything) to hold a conversation with another professional. In terms of your personal skill set, if you plan on being a successful front-end web designer, it would make sense to get a strong handle on HTML(5)...

Honestly, for a personal portfolio website, people don't want to do much more then learn about you, and see your work. Primarily see your work; so your choice of showcasing your portfolio on the home page is a good one. What I do think you need to do is tone down your thumbnails, Dead-note...
