Thanks!

good and bad critique very welcome

It's pretty nice. There's not much to look at and it could maybe do with some more graphics, but I guess you're coming from the point of view of a coder so that isn't what you're trying to sell?

Use a .gif for your logo instead of a .jpg, there's some ugly compression showing there.

i like it. it does need more graphics though.

where in belfast are ya based?

[zbo09]

I am from Castlereagh, East Belfast.

Yerself?

Thnx for feedback, I am trying to keep with using type for graphics. Clean and simple. I may try a few additions of some simple looking graphics.

I disagree about the graphics. I really like your minimalist approach. The only section that really needs graphics is where you show off your portfolio samples. One thing I think would make a world of difference would be to change that background color. The heavy color is weighing down your site and making it feel 'dated'. Try white or experiment with some subtle 'beige' variations.

The only other thing I noticed is that the placement of the CV menu feels a bit awkward visually. I'm not sure where you would move it though. I'd also work with the text on the homepage. Mix up your grid format a bit. That second paragraph of text is smaller than the first. And you might rethink those horizontal lines for those headers since you have the horizontal bars going across. Really like your typeface for the logo. But why do the 'ka' connect and not the rest?

All in all, really clean. Nice work!

Nice work, the lack of illustration is a slight concern but I can see why this option was chosen and that also works.

I like the cruinn site in your portfolio also. The splash was particularly interesting.

Cheers for comments, all taken in and in process of touching some things up.

Nice work on yer home site BTW!

To my eye it looked a lot better before. I reckon you'll need to lose the underlines on your headings - they look like links.

Clean look. Could do with extra graphics on pages such as "approach".

Two suggestions, the first is the light blue you use for headlines and such, I would use a color with more contrast, the current blue is sometimes dificult to view. Next would be all your copy, there is a lot, especially when you get to the approach section, perhaps try condensing it or a bulleted list, perhaps have a friend go over it and see what they would remove, thats what I do since I tend to ramble when I write. OK I lied theres a third thing your overall color scheme seems to be blue, black/grey, and white, but your favicon is red?? Otherwise nice, hope I helped.

the cyan is hard to read on my laptop screen

h1, h2, h3, h4 { cursor: crosshair; }

The view site links in the portfolio section don't work.<- My mistake, they do.
Way too many divs.

I like the logo.

[zbo09]

I would like to see more leading in the main text, feels a bit cramped to me.

Also your using two different blues, one for the nav and another for the heading. If it were mine, I would use one but make sure it's the darker of the two.
