But very nice style choices Good looking job!

23,177 PointsHi Cris,
I've never been a fan of any form of scroll hijacking. It makes navigating any website a bit of a chore. After all, as the user I have to sit back and watch it scroll down or up at by itself. It's pointless and timeconsuming.
You use quite a lot of typefaces on your website, up to 4 of them if you include the typeface of your logo 'CN'. You use them in different weights, line heights and sizes. Cut all of this in half, use one single lineheight and your website will look a lot more organized.
The icons you use don't feel like they belong on your website. e.g. the marker font gives your website handmade feeling, the icons are cold, geometrical, distant. Perhaps you can draw them in the same way.
There are also a couple of scripts like the googleads thing that don't seem to have any impact on your website when I remove them (although I might be wrong about that).
Not sure if you should list responsive webdesign under skills. 8+ years ago it might have been still considered awesome, and rare but nowadays it's considered a given. Instead maybe you can say something about webapps?
Who is your audience?

With the scroll hijacking, I wanted to add some flare/animation to show creativeness. I see a lot of commercial sites use it too.
If you're including the logo, I know I only use 3 fonts, Permanent Marker, Montserrat and the Logo. Yeah I get what you mean with the amount of line heights, should reduce the number, keep it more uniformed.
With the icons, you're saying they should be more handmade looking?
Yeah, I tried getting googleads on my site, wasn't successful. Haven't bothered taking it down yet.
As far as audience, just want to show potential employers/clients what I can do.
Appreciate the feedback.

39,853 PointsThanks Steven, I have some gif demos linked in the github repos on the non-live sites but yeah I think it would be better to have them live.
