    Another Critique please!

    Hi,

    You may remember I posted my initial design for my new site a few weeks ago, thanks for all of the pointers, I have changed the design completely (almost) and finished the homepage, here it is.



    Thanks

    Oops, should have updated the link, it's here now, working on another design though, so none of the pages are linked.

    I like it!

    I'm using Firefox 3 on mac and you have some alignment issues. I've attached an image - Contact me link intersects with border line and valid css in footer is moving off screen. I also get a white line at the bottom of the page. Probably because of the valid css link though.

    You have 1 code error <img src="images/6.png" width="74" height="80" /> (line 71, col 86) needs an alt and you have an extra } at the end of your typography.css file which could do funny things in some browsers.

    i quite like it, but am a bit stumped by two things:

    - the nice white space turns grungy at the bottom...?
    - at the bottom of the page it says "these are the social networks i'm part of" and then gives a link to your RSS feed!

    Regarding the first point, your white space is nice, but I think it's downgraded a bit by the fact you convert that into grunge at the bottom...

    Reviewing this from a pure visual point of view as I'm still getting to grips with the techie side, but it looks great! Very clear and bold, easy to read text. I love the white part of the page, but not to keen on the brown marbled effect at the bottom, then going into a black gradient. I think the black works, just not sure about the brown.

    Was also thinking - does the twitter feed need a headline? It's a little random on the page if someone didn't know that the blue bird represented twitter.

    But other than that I really like it, clear, easy to navigate and very professional! Well done :)
