Check out my new portfolio!

Hey Everyone!

I have just launched my new portfolio/business site. I'd really appreciate if you could have a look at it and let me know what you think.

All feedback is very welcome.

It looks good, but I think it's not too nice for the footer's content to be centered on thinner screens.... Or when the browser is reduced. It becomes a bit long. But from what I checked, it's responsive and catchy :)

Thanks, Isaac. I really struggled to come up with a footer design that was functional and still looked good on mobile screens. Any suggestions would be great!

See Envato's footer. On mobile devices, their footer's link headings get vertically aligned, and dynamic arrows allow users to toogle to see children links. Maybe you can do something like that? I'm not an expert it scripting, but maybe JQuery is the way.

  1. favourite - is not a typo, it's a non US version. But "I'm a minimilst who believes less is more" - 'minimilst' that's a typo... right on the home page.
  2. Apart from that in the services section under Design you get "when you have nothing left" phrases one right under another in different screen widths and it causes the eye-jump sort of thing. I'd think of rewriting the text for this section cause you also tend to use "I" too much which is not the best style and in the Development paragraph gives a river-like look.
  3. And the footer does tend to look longish on narrow screen.
  4. The copyright sign is usually accompanied by the year

Hope this is helpful.

Love the icons by the way and the transitions of color in links on hover look great.
