I redesigned my site this week, no new work added but hopefully it's easier to navigate. I'd appreciate any feedback anyone has!

Nascent Ideas

site:

don't think using frames is not the best idea in the world.. that said the simple nav is working far better that your old site.

on the portfolio i kept clicking next till i got to the end of the portfolio - then realised i had missed all the thumnails at the top.

work:

i like it. simple as that.

Found it really confusing to navigate the content of the portfolio to be honest. I just saw three thumbs for the same project and my natural inclination is to click next, not previous which obviously didn't get me anywhere at first

But I didn't see the navigation of your old site.

And I might just have been acting blonde.

really, really like main site - like that font

don't like the framed blog - incorporate into main site?

also i wanted to be able to read the magazine work closer - maybe give option of opening in new window bigger?

think one of the problems might be the portfolio starts at the end??

one aside thought is you could look at doing a trade with a web designer type?

illustration commission for a wee portfolio site.. sounds fair.

I started the portfolio at the end because I think it's important at the moment to begin with my newest work, I'm going to swap the next/previous buttons around though i think. The blog is as it is because it's hosted by wordpress and you can't mess with their themes basically. If I could it would be much simpler and fit in with the rest of the site more. Perhaps in the future.

Keeping the magazine work small is intentional so I don't step on their toes basically.
