I would really appreciate if anyone could give some constructive comments on my online portfolio website! Anything you like/dislike?

- I absolutely love it! I think it has a very sleek look and is very professionally done. Would definitely catch the eye of someone looking to work with you!
- @Ekavi Stavraki Thank you so much!! I started from scratch really, I needed to make a name for myself for my uni module and promote my work on various platforms - I researched how other stylists/creatives promote themselves and used this info to try and come up with something new and fresh! The website was made on wix (it takes a while if you start on a blank canvas like me but definitely worth it) and I made my logo by experimenting on photoshop!
- @Abbie (Yallop) WhiteHey Abbie, I’m glad the feedback helped.I would just state who you are, either in first or 3rd person (e.g. I am a fashion stylist based...My work revolves around...) and I would state what you are looking for; brands, types of work maybe.I’m a photographer so the websites i’ve looked at have different sections such as education, client work, exhibitions, features, etc. I’m not sure how different that would be from a stylist perspective but it gives the client/brand straight to the point info about you, which is what everyone is looking for at the end of the day!Let me know how that works out for you!Joe
- @Joe La'Val Thank you very much for this feedback! What you said about the 'About me' section is really helpful, even though I researched other online portfolio's, I found it really challenging to create my own site from scratch! I'll definitely re-evaluate based on your feedback! What type of things would you recommend to have in the 'About me' page?
- hey Abbie!I like what you’ve done with your website, using a distinctive typeface for your logo is important and pays off well. As mentioned, it is hard to read in the body so i would change that.Your About me page, I would change the way you speak about yourself. Avoid saying you’re studying and put that in an education section. When you say “this portfolio displays...” i would take that out: you want the portfolio to speak for itself!Hope that helps :)
- @Tanel S Wow! Thank you so much for such in depth feedback! I made this website during one of my university projects and it had to fit specific needs, so definitely needs improving/updating!
- I like overall look and how it is created.I do like full screen mode. Hard to find though.I think you don't need that intro page with big logo. Some users may not click.I get the style with fonts however I still believe that body copy font could be more readable.I don't like dropdown menu navigation. If you could improve navigation that would be great. Perhaps add next / previous project thumbnails under open project page.Content is really creative and it is experience to browse.
