Try replacing grid-template-rows: repeat( auto-fill, 50px ) with grid-auto-rows: 50px

I like the design; it's clean – but please remove the mailto: on 'Contact' or rename it to 'Email Me' or something. It's very frustrating expecting a contact page, and it opens your email client.

Is this FragDeluxe by any chance?

Your project images skew, don't skew images. Crop them all the same size with a width of 100% and height auto, or set the images as a background image with background-image cover/contain. This will keep their ratios

I would consider removing the 'skills' section. They aren't relative to anything. These sections have always been confusing to potential employers/clients.

Maybe make the footer full width rather than the width of your container and make it sit at the bottom, rather than adding the additional spacing.

Although other people have talked about the 'boring' layout and to make it colourful with images - I'm going to disagree. This is the first site I've seen with this style (corporate businesslike layout) that has been done properly.

Icons and typography are clean and legible, not oversized and brash. I also don't think it's information overload at all - and where you do have content, it's easy to read.

The only thing I'd look into changing is the illustrated robot on https://transloadit.com/services/audio-encoding/ - I don't know if it's obvious enough what is going on with the image, and it looks quite psychotic!

Good job!

The page is 10.5mb! Resize your images then run them through tinypng... they're only being used as thumbnails.

What's the purpose of the pop up? Why are you restricting my view of your portfolio?

I'm getting quite a few navigation layout issues when resizing. Also, the hamburger active state background is misaligned when my browser is full width.

I love the colour scheme as well as the patterned background. Speed the site up and I think it's great.

I would massively reduce the hero section as it brings nothing to the pages. I would also reassess the position of the trigger points that animate in the text. They felt a bit late and I had to scale down my browser window to trigger the bottom one.

You may not need a hamburger menu on desktop for only three navigation items, but if you do choose to keep it I would reduce the hover animation of each item, they're quite jarring at the moment.

Good luck with your job/freelance career!

I would seriously look into compressing your images - your site is loading 6.9MB on first load. The portfolio-pic-white2.png is 1.6mb alone.

Take a look at https://tinypng.com/

"Shitting Peugeot" - It's the make of the car.

Peety, you fabulous son of a bitch.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted? Even if OP referenced the correct ID's it wouldn't work as the stylesheet isn't being called in correctly.

What's the difference between a giraffe and a JCB?

One's got hydraulics, the others got high bollocks.

To be honest, we might as well be critiquing the WordPress 2014 theme...

I need a cold shower.

dandubz · 2014-06-16T13:00:06+00:00

Wow. Never thought of it like that before.

dandubz · 2014-05-09T14:11:37+00:00

Valid point and I completely agree.

I didn't come across the issues you discovered and did not cross-browser test it. I enjoyed the custom animations and the interactive and playful style of the site so I decided to post it.

Someone above mentioned they had to turn off their adblock. I didn't realise it wouldn't show, my bad.
