How about some critiques on my portfolio site? Elliot Swan Designs

Very very nice, but I still suggest changing the color of text. It's hard to read actually.

That's amazing, love the effect. But yes, the text should be another colour!

:tu: !

Love the graphics on your site. Very nice!

I agree - the text is a little hard to read so you should focus on that.

Good luck.

Not a bad layout\design but it is not to my taste though.

This is definetly different than most sites you find out there. From a design standpoint, its a great concept. From an execution and pratical standpoint, it needs a little work.

Lets start with the site dimensions. The site itself is an awkward size. Width wise, it is perfect. Vertically, however, its a little strange. The scroll bar should be eliminated, especially since there really isnt any vital content below what is shown, save a few links. My screen resolution is 1024 x 768, and the scroll bar kills the front page. I suggest taking a little off the top of the header image to shorten it up.

The menu doesn't hit me well. Once I noticed the repeating image behind the menu, it immediately gave me a poor impression of the site. It needs to be more seamless. I would also suggest changing the mouse over color to something different.

Sorry for the novel. Just a few little changes will make this site a lot better.

Thanks for the great comments!

Yeah, it looks especially bad on a 1280x1024 resolution....

About all the text comments, I may fix that, I'll have to see if I can find a better color that both looks good and is more readable.

I don't really like it, It is not my style.
Sorry

Nice design =) Great pictures. The text is tough to read. I'm not sure how well the site fits for webdesign promotion though. It may be too aesthetic to be taken seriously. Though I think it is beautiful!

 

[hazza.mcazza]

very interesting design. well done.

it is a great shame about the scroll bar and the repeating river bank image. fix those and the site will be fantastic!

 

[bhyraj]

[suppau]

very nice. But I think the brown color information layout should be aligned more to the right.

 

[Petter]

Nice idea, but not my style really ~ Not a bad design though
