8,378 PointsMy first personal website. What do you guys think of it?
Hello everyone. How are we all doing today? I just finised my personal portfolio site. I know is not the best, but I'll appreciate your feedback. After learning basic html,css, and some JavaScrip at TreeHouse, I came up with this simple website. I don't feel proud of myself for the smooth scrolling part. I copied the JavaScript code,but the rest was all created by me using html and css. I am still working on my JavaScript. The form part of my website does not work yet. I'll add functionality to it after I learn some PHP. Here is my web URL : http://www.abrahamswaray.com/ I am proud of myself for achieving this within couple of months. Please use google chrome or firefox for the best result. I hate IE lol:D

37,861 PointsAbraham, I think it looks great for your first website. I really like the opening picture. The opening page looks a little darker and I thought it was going to brighten up after a few seconds. Could be a feature to add later maybe. It liked how the page scrolled when you clicked on one of your tabs. Looking good so far though. Good luck working on it.

8,378 Pointsthank you. I'll think about it.

2,173 PointsAwesome work Abraham. I like your design, its simple and pleasant to look at. The scrolling however wasn't so smooth on my laptop. The top half, where the work desk background is, lags as I scroll, however the bottom half is fine. Keep up the great work.

Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsGreat job Abraham! Nice clean, modern design. If I could offer any feedback, it would perhaps be to add some padding or margin around your image and the right side of section.about. Thanks for sharing!

8,378 PointsRobert Richey I'll work on that now.

5,160 PointsLooking good :) I would say to make the height of the 'about' div smaller, or probably better, vertically center the content, as there is a ton of blank space between your about paragraph and the contact form.
Also, when I view in responsive mode for phone screen sizes the bottom of your paragraph (after "please dont hesitate to") is hidden by the contact form below it.
Other than that it looks pretty sharp and the smooth scrolling works fine on my linux box with firefox :)
Well done :)

8,378 PointsThank you Neil Taylor. You were right much better with a height of 300px.

8,131 PointsIt looks good to me. However, review what you have written for errors. Some times reading it aloud helps. Remember that this may be the first thing a potential employer sees.

8,378 PointsThank Roxanne Carlson . I'll do that later once I am officially done with my portfolio.
