Okay. You've obviously got plenty of experience with critiques, so I trust you'll take this the way it's intended. ;-) I really do mean it constructively. I do appreciate that you're not a web designer, of course, and before I start I want to note that you did a pretty good basic job. :-) That being said, here we go... Popups and advertisting are pretty unprofessional. You really might want to look into hosting your site somewhere that doesn't require stuff like that. Every time a potential client goes to a new page to view your work, they're going to get another popup. :( Main/Index page has no title. "Untitled Document" doesn't look so polished. ;-) (easy to fix in Dreamweaver) I can't seem to get to your source code because of the way Tripod has their frames set up, so I can't tell if you're already doing this, but if you're not, use ALT tags. Super easy to do in Dreamweaver (just type the text alternative for the image in the ALT box). It's also a really good idea to provide text links as well as graphical. While it's unlikely that a potential employer wouldn't have graphics turned on, it's a good option for usability and it shows attention to detail, and some people just plain prefer text to visual for various reasons. The mousovers are reasonably cute, but seem slow-loading. Look into pre-loading your rollover images (if you're not already; it could be my connection but I'm on a fairly quick cable link). Still, in this case, I'm not entirely sure that the rollovers really enhance the content especially. There's nothing wrong with them, but the focus here should be your graphic design work, and I'm really not sure that the rollovers really aid that. I really like the fluted edges on the thumbnails for your examples. VERY nice touch, and shows attention to detail. Not keen on the yellow background, though. It's generally a good idea to keep the same general color scheme for all the pages in the same site, for continuity's sake. Put in footers on the pages, to finish it off. Just a little note such as maybe the copyright information, a text link to the main page, etc. Set the font to something other than the default (which is usually Times or Times New Roman). Times New Roman is a great font for print, but it really sucks for reading on a screen. Use something like Verdana, with secondary options for Arial, Helvetica, and sans-serif (you can do those all in one go, just separate the names with commas). The yellow-orange pages just make reading the text that much harder. Having a straight "mailto" link is just begging for spam. Spambots and spiders will get it and you'll never stop getting spam at that address. There are options you can use to put up an address that's still usable but isn't as easily harvested, though. I've got a bunch of links and other information here: http://alicorna.com/resources/Miscellaneous_Resources_Spam_Control.html Now, as for your actual work, WOW. Excellent stuff, good choice of samples. It shows that you're versatile and have a lot of basic talent and technical understanding of the field. I'm really enjoying looking at your work (although I've had to turn on my pop-up blocker, as mentioned). Again, please take this the way it's intended. I really want to help, not pick on you. :-) :-) :-) If you like, feel free to drop me an IM or email through the R'osity mailer thingy and I'll pass on resources, help, whatever you'd like. Your graphic design work is so good, it deserves a really well-executed setting. :-) bonni
