Its nice though I don't really like that green pattern thats behind links when you hover them. It's alright for the navigation at the top, but I don't like it in the paragraph area.

Other than that it looks nice.

you could use more contrast on the hovers
the titles too, the effect of translucid doesn't fit right

overall its good, but I think you could do better then that

for Nick, Yes, I just wanted to bring some new ideas for link. So Decided to change a bit

As for Matheus, I think the Contrast is enough, and for the titles, I meant to have them like that so the surfer will concentrate on the text more.

Thanks For Comments guy.

:closedeyes: Found a bug

In your works section, under Thuiven Design Productions, when you go to click on View Design it opens up danfolio v1

Other than that, I'm really liking the way you've presented the site.

I like it.
Although I was checking your portfolio and all your works seem to follow the exact same style.
I do this sometimes to, I tend to get hooked on a style that is working for me at the moment and do a bunch.
I think mabye you should show some different styles your able to create well.

I could be wrong as well.. It seems this is a WIP and it just might be for testing.

None the less good work!

he was referring to your spelling, portafolio

it's portfolio....

all in all it's quite nice n sleek... maybe make the link text in the main navigation black on hover so it's easier to read against the green background

Yeah that's what I was getting at. Sorry I should have left a comment about the design by the way. It's a great site I love it I wish I could design like that, and I especially like the hovers, except for the one at the top, which is a bit too bright and makes it hard to read the text.

Great site.

Oh, haha, Yes, I chose it to be like that. Makes the site with a more unique name, (??)

Websites should follow a consistant theme in this case I don't see that working, nore do I see that with any portfolio. I believe it should show a range of skill and styles. When you have a portfolio to show potential clients what you can do for them, using the same style and basicly the same colors on every web design you have to show off doesn't really show potential clients what you have to offer, but*** ????? Very grey designs, Some glossy effects, and a little bit of color added here and there.

I know if I was looking on the internet for a Web designer, and I happen to come across this website.
Unless I am looking for grey designs, Some glossy effects, and a little bit of color added here and there type of designs, this will not be the person I hire.

My defence.

First of, let me start with that that websites DONT have to follow the same Style, that what makes the sites be creative and unique. I happen to love dark colors, the gray in that case, yes I know, I have passion for dark colors, that's my style, In my opinion. There is nothing wrong with it in my opinion, Usually, people choose the right clients for them through their portafolio, and if they want dark style, (in this case) my style, then they ofund the right person, if they wanted something else and they see that my portafolio isn't their style, then whatever!
Curtisbanks, I am not really getting your writing, sorry If I worte something you didn't mean. I think that here you are commenting and giving me feedback on the Portfolio Projects more than the actuall portfolio, and that's not what I was asking feedback on. It's Good you are "defending" yourself here but there is nothing to defend m8, it's all opinions.

Thanks again for comments

wot he is saying is to greater ur chances of getting work u should show u are capable of other styles in ur portfolio... following the same style will only appeal to a certain amount of people - dont know if that makes sense to u as i cant think of how to word it properly lol
