Freshly Redesigned Portfolio Site

  • Hello everyone...

    Since it's the new year, I thought I should finally launch my redesigned website. Anyone have comments, especially related to usability / accessibility? I tried to focus especially on accessibility, and though I don't necessarily understand everything just yet, I hope that it's a good start.

    This is probably the most detailed site I have done to date, and has taken a significant portion of my time over the last month or so. There are still minor things I can tweak, but it's 99% complete. The next step will either be to write a blog engine/CMS in PHP (I know I would be reinventing the wheel, but I need the PHP experience) or use Wordpress or CMS Made Simple.

    Thanks for your comments. ;)

  • You know, I don't think I have any critiques, looks great.
  • Looks very nice, the only thing I would mention is that it took a considerable time to load up on my dial-up account, but that may be nit-picking.

    No, that's valid... The site is a bit heavy (about 250kb when initially loaded, though it drops to 80kb or so once items are cached). I'll see what I can do.
  • I don't think the file size was big at all, especially for a portfolio site.

    I don't think you need to do any changes there.
  • v nice, and I like the simple footer a lot.
  • thanks for the comments!
