brilliant thanks I get the gist, good explanation cheers :icon_thumbup:

Sound cheers Mark I see what you mean, distracting people from the work is the last thing I want, it's good to get fresh eyes on it and to hear everyone's opinion, it can only make it better and I feel like i'm learning a lot! :icon_smile:

Ah right nice one cheers, I've just checked out a few sites and can see what you mean. When you say useless for search engines, would you just clarify what you mean in a sentence or two. SEO is an area that again I would like to learn more about but for the forseeable future have other immediate...

I know they're rollovers, but tbh that was the least of my worries when I embarked on the project as I knew hardly anything about web design. My priorities were getting a functioning site. I've done that and now I want to improve it or learn how to make at better one. :icon_smile: Pretty much...

I haven't squashed it, but I think I know where you mean and if it is then its the leading, glad you've drawn my attention to it though i'll get it sorted. I take your point about the colours as well, curtis pointed out about the green and they are all primary (not in the technical sense but...

Nice one cheers Dave, that makes sense. I think i'm pretty personable and I but at the moment it'll cost £25 in petrol to hand deliver it! Saying that I am due to go down fairly soon so I'll get the emails sent first an take it from there. thanks!

Thanks Curtis, The reason I made them green was for clarity ( and I thought it looked funky :icon_rolleyes: ). Also some of the text on the freelance is white and with white links I thought it would confuse things as not all of the links are on the left hand side. Click here to see what I...

I like the artwork Nickio, I know that loads of people do similar sorts of things but I still like what you've done. Afterbeat and Freedom are my favorites. On the Freedom one though why did you uses 3 images of earth? Maybe if you use images of other 2 planets the "escape the boundaries" would...

Hi all, www.joehoughton.co.uk This is my first completed site since I taught myself basic Dreamweaver earlier this year. I'm applying for entry level design positions and this is my online portfolio so i'd like to hear what you guys think of it. Any advice and/or constructive...

Nice one thanks Jason I really appreciate the advice. Strategic carpet bombing of the south coast is a go!! :icon_thumbup:

Thanks lads, That's what I will do. I'd much rather deal with a working designer who I can respect. Any recommendations on approach? Email, post, phone call, turn up on the doorstep etc? I'm thinking email and post at the moment, but then I suppose they are both easily ignored, maybe try out...

lol! :icon_cheers:

Thanks Jason, I know what you mean, I haven't had any good experiences with them in the past, but I guess i'm just optimistic! I have noticed that they don't have a great reputation with the guys on here either :icon_biggrin: It's good to hear that you think the direct route is more...

Thanks Mark, I really appreciate the reply and I will take your advice, i'm glad I asked! I have got a portfolio, it's fairly simple like the site but hopefully it is effective. Time will tell! I like your site by the way, the attitude is bang on ** I can make it happen for you but I...

It looks a bit like the silhouette in the middle has wet herself :icon_tongue_smilie: Also the girls in the middle are all roughly the same size so it doesn't give the image much depth, maybe play about with their sizes and see what you can come up with? I think that the rest of it works...
