:: portfolio review ::

Hi,

I am new to this site....just thought I would post my site for review

http://www.martincrumlish.com

let me know what you think (anyone want to link to me? )

Thanks,
Martin

Reminds me alot of Spoono, but there is nothing wrong with that . Looks good, welcome to the forums.

Nice. Graphic/html wise no comments. Looks good. The only thing im confused about is you have no navigation. Now I understand that you want everything to load into the main page (so no need for a nav.) but when i click a link(say one of the design works).....I cant go back to the main page(original iframe i mean). Maybe your working on this..i dont know. But otherwise its fine!

Yeah I see where the inspiration of spoono.com came into place, I would maybe change those boxes a little to make them more original, but other then that I think it looks great And maybe throw in a background or something :P

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback! I might make some changes seeing as some of you think it is like Spoono.

Regarding navigation, each iframe has a nav at the bottom to go to whatever page of designs you want.

Thanks,
Martin

the navigation looks fine and "navigable" to me - It's a nice site - wellcome to the forum martin - I like some of your works very much....it does look a bit like spoono but I wouldn't consider it a rip so...

I would try to incorporate your gallery back into the site itself. Pop ups are evil. For the average user, they will be able to see it because they either use a browser that doesn't let you disable pop-ups or they aren't using a pop up killer. But more and more people are growing aware of pop-ups and what they do. If a user has to enable pop-ups to view your content, they are more likely to go to another site and never see any of your work. It's all about usability.

I must agree about the pop-ups, as well as the very strong similarities to spoono/k10k. But it is relatively easy to navigate, and everything is all on one page, which is kind of cool.

Nice, you should add background image, some kind of pattern.

Martin,

Two questions, (awesome job on the logo) Did you make that blueish background on the logo with Photoshop? If so, How? And also, I love that font that you use for like "Latest News", "What I Do", where can I get that?

Anyways, keep up the good work - very nice work on the site.
