Hello those reading this topic,

I recently put together a little site as a portfolio page. As of today, I have not bought a domain or hosting, so for now the portfolio is on a free server without SMTP access ;) , but I mainly used this free hosting to test some things, as this was my first time using FTP or anything. It's mostly an experiment, and I would mostly just like critique on the graphic layout of the site.

Please do not tell me that my contact form does not work. I am terribly aware of that :rolleyes:

Click Me!

Thanks guys.

I dont think your struggling all that much, the portfoli lacks imagination however and is pretty contrasting. Personally as a client id like to see a clean proffesional and easy to read yet enticing portfolio.

Though I am slightly biased, Gimpwise you're alot better than me, i can't do a straight line on that damned program. Your portfolio wants to draw me away from my beloved PS so there is always going to be some conflict between me and it.

Thanks alot, that's the kind of stuff I was looking for. I would agree it lacks any imagination, however, I haven't really built any professional sites yet, so I haven't found my flavor yet.

One day I hope!

I see it uses tables for positioning, just for your information, it will make it very, very hard to edit your content in the future. That's why I always stick with CSS positioning, plus it's very easy.

About your site, I think it looks like it should belong to some gaming clan!

I actually did originally design it in CSS. I just think tables are easier since that's how I learned how to do it. I'm not sure how it is much harder to edit content, could you clarify please?

I use dreamweaver if that helps lol.
