I have been working as a website designer for a company i part own neonerve media solutions, but i have recently decided to open my own online portfolio to show off a little more of what i personally do. The site is at....

http://www.adamjordan.info

It hasn't had all my projects added yet so please criticise on a design/coding perspective as opposed to content at the minute.

and i have included what i intended to do from the start using a large image and a program called zoomify. Please can you check out the new idea and tell me what you think of it being place on the home page of my design site. Thanks

yeh, i really like that site. I think it works well, looks really pro. As for te soomify idea, i'd leave it out, too much user freedom would surely distract them from the content and destroy the nice look that banner gives it.

jason r · 10-01-2005, 06:01

looks very dated.

pat · 10-01-2005, 06:03

but look at the sorts of jobs he's aiming at. It suits his market.

C4D · 10-01-2005, 06:55

yeah I like it, easy to navigate but doesnt really dissplay the work you have done well, thats all I would look at.

Oh yeh montage is quite cool.

Alaska-Design · 10-01-2005, 16:29

Nah I like it - good job

jordan · 10-01-2005, 17:36

Thanks a lot guys...

I appreciate the comments... i tend to not agree with the site looking dated but that is your opinion which your entitiled to.

Still not sure what to do about the zoomify thing.... hmmm?

pat: "but look at the sorts of jobs he's aiming at. It suits his market." what did you mean by this if you don't mind me asking?

thanks again

jordan · 13-01-2005, 12:34

i was thining of perhaps keeping the main page as an image not the zoomify thing but making the image link to a popup with the zoomify thing in? what do you think.?

pat · 13-01-2005, 12:42

I just meant style wise, from looking at your portfolio on there, the site seems to suit......the sort of style those sort of businesses would like. It's positive mate, positive.

you knows it

Drop the zoom thing, and the banner. Go with a simple banner, your site is nice and clean and well organized. Looks a little macromediaish although it's still good.
