    Blog/Portfolio Design

    Hi,

    Would just like to get some of your views on my design, before I start coding etc. I was thinking about having a blog then having links to my portfolio and contact info etc.



    Thanks!

    I think it would be beneficial if you showed us a visual for at least one of the other (non blog) pages so we can see how the design translates across the site.

    But just going on what I can see, I like it. It has a vintage/cowboy and western feel to it which I kinda like but I think that if your going for that vintage feel then each blog entry should start with a drop cap letter.

    I would also play around with the positioning of the words "the work and blog of..." above your name because they feel a bit weird to me being aligned to the left when all headings and stars are centred

    I agree with Sweetums Chris, however I am loving the feel you are going for here. Keep it up and let us know when you have another version for us to take a look at :)

    Thanks for the feedback, I've had a little think about the design, I'm going to change it around a bit and possibly make it a one page site, then with a link to the blog, think this will be more beneficial in terms of clients.
