Hi all
Can't remember the last time I was here! Been busy with academia and have just returned to pay some much needed attention to my website. Hence this new thread!
I've just updated my site (www.sadiqajabbar.com), no major design changes but subtle differences to the initial setup. I want to keep it simple and direct without the frills - much like my personality haha! However it needs to be punchy and attract more users and potential clients/employers, and I don't think the 'me' is coming through yet. The quality of work/content obviously is the first thing I reckon may need improving - I've been away from design for a year so need to update myself on a number of things/software etc.
What would you suggest? How easy is it to use in terms of links and getting around the pages? How appealing (or not) is the appearance? What makes you want to stay or leave the site/pages? How clear, simple and direct is it (or not)?
Please note that the main function of the site at the moment is to convey my portfolio of architectural and design work with the hope of obtaining clients and employment (in an architectural practice to complete my part 3 qualification).
In terms of logos - I've decided to use my name as the logo as it were rather than create a graphic.
Looking forward to your constructive critiques!
Kind regards
Sadiqa
PS: Last time I was hoping to learn some HTML - I've got the awesome book suggested and will be beginning the actual learning shortly. So the website at the moment has the cringe-worthy Moonfruit footer (can't wait till the day I can get rid of it!)
