- @col dixon Cheers... might do that!
- @Stefan Vallance Good advice. I'm currently working for a well-known company but they don't allow us to share our work on these platforms so I have to be careful how I present that work (my most recent). I'll have to message you for some SEO tips, if that's ok?
- @Richard Littler Ah! A very familiar problem I promise you!My process was considering first if a project was truly worth showcasing, if it was, I would build on it; create additional mock-ups, play with the branding more and develop more material to accompany the piece.If not, or if it wasn't recent (within 2 years - though that's a personal stance), it got cut.
- @Anna Panic Thank you!
- @col dixon Thanks Col, I'll have another look at my portfolio layout.
- @Stefan Vallance Thanks Stefan, the bit I'm struggling with is my portfolio, I'm still not sure how best to present it. One of the problems I have is some projects have more imagery than others, so I don't know if I have enough content to give each project it's own page. I'll definitely look at making the top section smaller and including links at the bottom. Cheers!
- @Nada Abughris Thanks for the feedback, Nada. I'll have another look at the bio page and see if I can reduce it down.
- Hey Richard!A rich portfolio of work, well done.Points to consider:- Move your projects to the first page of the site- Reduce the about me section and make it more concise. Peoples attention spans is so small, so capture what you want to say in a few sentences.- The categorisation of your work is great, could you possibly separate each project so that we see more of it isolated on one page?Good luck. Keep up the good work :)
- I really like it; you've put a lot of time and thought into it and this effort really shows.Thinking about this from a UX perspective and have a few simple ideas that could help your site make a stronger impact:- On your homepage, you lead with some detail about yourself which is helpful, but it takes up a lot of space on your page before you get to the work. You'll find potential clients/employers come to your site for the work first so either reduce the height of this section or move this section to below 'Services'.- @col dixon already mentions the interactivity on the website, I fell into the same trap and expected to click on a project to view a separate page explaining your work.- A simple link in your footer directing people back to the top of the page is always useful.I hope these ideas help - a portfolio is always a beast to tackle but something to take pride in! I'll leave you with this: don't forget to update the SEO on your About & Contact pages... ;)
