My first portfolio site!

Hi Jim! I am a usability specialist with 9 years experience and I do understand you are just getting started. Here are my top 3

1. Broken Links - Make sure the links don't ever take a user to an error screen (I am getting error 404 on your portfolio link and about)
2. Dreamweaver is spelt this <--- way. Spelling is critical for trust so while your coding skills are what people have come for this is not going to help :)
3. Small thing but if you want your horizons OPENED then ad a +1 before your phone number, its very US centric to just have those numbers starting with internal country area codes. 4. Lastly (bonus Item) reduce the size of the blue so that that content shows higher. The design of the page needs to allow users to see that the content is changing as I click on links. I wasn't expecting that content to be so far down so I thought your contact link was broken.

Hi Jim,

Site's looking really good so far, you can remove that last border with a pseudo selector:

nav li:last-child {
    border-right: none;
}

Only criticism I would have is the 'More Info' button, I don't think it stands out enough. If you're using it as a call to action it needs to be bigger/more emphasized to draw the users eye to it.

Hope this helps :)

Good work. Few things I noticed. The More info button needs some refining. Also may be adjust the spacing above and below it. Another thing is the alignment of the 2 half columns in the About Me section. The title looks out of place.

This will get rid of the border from the last menu item

nav li:last-child { border:none;} 

OK, I made some adjustments including the button, and switched the nav and button around. Plus made the display: none; for the button on mobile devices as it goes to the about page and its really not needed especially on a mobile device. http://www.myjamsite.com/ Thanks, Jim McQuarrie

Hi Jim, I notice that if you resize the browser window at around 627px width the 'More Info' button collapse to the 2nd section where you have the description. Maybe same height for the 2nd Section description. About Me title has way too much gap from the text bellow it, kinda distracting in my opinion. To be honest, I am not a fan of the percentage on the skills part. I think it would be better if you just write something like 'Excellent' or 'Master' or 'Very Good' something like that instead of percentage, but that is just for me.

Hope it helps.

Hi Jim, normally startup company would want people with less experience. I think for now the best way you can do is just keep on learning the skills. Try also building another site that shows the tricks that you learn already. Maybe try building a template and giving them out for free at first, you know if a lot of people are satisfied with it, who knows maybe you can put a price on later templates that you build.

A friend of mine told me that Angular JS is necessary if I want to look for a new job as a developer.

On your portfolio site, I think 3 pages should be good enough. Home, About and Portfolio. I think normally people won't read all the stuffs and just look directly on portfolios (what you have been doing so far). You can put education in about me page and put contact on first page jim or even on every pages. It is kinda important, so it is easy to contact you.

Good luck Jim !
