Clean and simple. Cut your images. e.g. office.jpg is 177k - way to big. Dunno what's up with the sideways scrollbar but it still does it at 1600x1200! Nice modern retro feel to flyers and nice offices btw. |

Alright mate. I've always loved the stuff you've posted up here and this html version of you portfolio has been added to that list. One thing though. I've always thought the reason to have an alternative html site was to offer better usability/accessibility for those that want it. Your site uses frames and alot of the text are actual images rather than markup so it's no better than the flash version. That's fuckin' ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It's a Swiss fuckin' watch.

scrolling: both (in IE, not in firefox) - vertical because the image is too high (BTW - top margin is a tad large) - horizontal because ?? I dunno. What I did see from the source was that you specify a background image with url(images/blue.jpg) but it doesn't show. Should be in quotes I think. I like the design, but the photos break your colour scheme. Don't know what to do about that. -= In theory, theory should work in practice. =-

Dead Simple - luv the stuff, would like to know more about it. I know designers aren't necessarily creative writers but short explanations about why, what, how, where etc would make all the difference. |

you are spot on there mate. I think that I see myself to much as an artist and not enough as a service (i would rather be the first than the latter  )So yes, I really need to start giving explanations. |

Nice, I like it a lot - maybe center header text horizontally and vertically, maybe not. |

The version based on your Flash website seems a lot tighter which I must say I really like anyway. It would seem to be a shame to discard that style of branding just because you're switching between Flash and HTML - a good design is a good design |
