Very clean and simple to get around.

Two random nitpicks

Random capitalisation of Freelance?
Aliasing issue on the g of the ident, just looks a bit cut off?

Really like it, can't think of anything to pick on. The contact slide-out is a nice touch.

You're right about that 'g' will change that

"Crickett finance was a startup business that needed branding and stationary"

I also noticed some random capitalisation - and if it has to do with envelopes and stuff, it's stationery.

Smart use of a 3-col layout, not seen it done like that before. Nice!

copywriting has never been my strongest asset, will look at re-wording and de-capitalizing, cheers for pointing it out

Don't you get someone else to check it? Maybe you don't know anyone you trust to make corrections. I don't mind helping out - if you send your copy in an email, I'll give it a pedantic eyeballing (and suggest some improvements, probably!)

Looking good, mate.
Somehow I find a bit annoying the fact that I have to move my eyes all the way to the left to see the title and client. But it looks good enough not to worry that much about it.

Honestly, I like the concept and the color, but the only thing that stands out is the right aligned projects with the text floating on the left. It really looks a little out of place. If you could combine the two, it'd look decent.

When you click contact, and the contact form rolls down, perhaps you might want to highlight the "contact" button with the same background colour as the contact form. Just how the "Portfolio" and "services" tabs change bg colour when you click onto those pages.

Agree - also maybe you could have the contact box close with another click...

The gap is to allow for longer client names, I originally had the date left aligned after the client but prefered it the way it is

although the contact form rolls down you aren't actually moving to another section so to avoid confusion I didn't highlight it

And cheers everyone for picking up the typos, I should have checked more before putting the site live.

Beautiful layout, nice grid, and great choice of colors. stunning. my only critique is a personal preference...

I think that the font size is a little small in the footer, but again that is a preference.
