  • @Sohaib Nadeem Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and advice!

    Those are all great suggestions. I might actually change the website creator I'm using because I've found it limiting in a lot of ways, including with regards to things you mentioned such as typography, which I'll get to altering ASAP.

    Thank you again for your advice, and I will get in touch if I need any help- super kind of you to offer!

    Have a great day :)
  • @Benedict Cosgrove Thank you so much for your help! Those are all super helpful suggestions, and I'm going to make all of the changes you suggested.

    Also, thank you for your kind words about some of my projects! I'm just starting out really so it's great to hear positive feedback.

    Take care and thanks again!
  • Hi, Naomi -- Right off the bat, one thing seems to be missing from the Funfetti site: You! Unless I missed it, there appears to be no bio page or other section that lets a site visitor know who you are -- your academic background, job history, etc. (For my part, I *always* visit Bio or About pages of creatives' sites.)

    Also, be aware of SEO practices, e.g., consider including your name in the home page title bar, at least ("Funfetti Film Design | Naomi Smith").

    I enjoyed the project pages -- especially "Kokomo," which I found both thoughtful and playful. And the Wordsworth quote was an inspired way to poetically articulate your own aesthetic.

    Finally, I would recommend that the Funfetti cake fly across the screen only once. Having it reappear again and again might be distracting for some site visitors who want to focus on your designs.

    Good luck!
  • Hey Naomi. First of all, good start. However, I would advice on a few points.

    1. Whitespace. Spaciousness is less here, so it might help you a lot if you could work on that. open things up a bit.

    2. Heirarchy. Contrast and typography here is a bit messy. I would say use a combination of lighter weights and bolder ones. Just the bold one, makes it very brutal.

    3. Colors. It's using too much color. Maybe use same for all the features. And use one/two on hover on one of those? That might help. Oh yeah and, a lot of circles also a bit off. Maybe go for a cleaner spacious approach? Show a box or some background on hover? Lift the mood a bit?

    I hope these help!!! :)
    If you want any help, let me know. Cheers!
