Review My site

It looks really cool and I like the design a lot. The only thing that bothers me is that it's very large. It's hard to read because of this. I have to zoom out if I want to read anything without having to scroll down the page. Same thoughts on viewing on my iphone5, it's just huge fonts

On the widget manager, when you log out it tells you "You need to sign in or sign up before continuing." It should say something like you are now logged out, or see you soon. Also it didn't seem to be working when I tried to add a box to my order

I like it a lot. Did you learn all the aspects of the design from the courses here?

Hi Bill,

I like where your site is headed. Overall this is solid. A couple of suggestions:

1. Cut down on the text underneath all the subheads (Wordpress, CS6, etc.) It's too much and doesn't encourage the visitor to read it.
2. I'd add some extra spacing between the "code and design" section and the featured image. I'd also do the same between the footer and "recent work" section too.

Again man, good work here.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I will definitely look at everything and take it into consideration. This is definitely why I love the Treehouse forum. Tons of great comments.

Thanks for the feedback and I will definitely be working on the proportions of the text and images. Also I will take a look at the widget manager issue. Thanks a lot for the feedback again.

• Thanks for the concise suggestions.

• I think as far as e color scheme goes I will probably stick with what I have but I will definitely take a look at colllor and see what it may have to offer.

• Similarly with the transitions but I will take a look at them again and see if they effect the overall user experience.

• The links being consistent hover states and colors is a great suggestion and I plan on going through this and standardizing links across the site.

• I planned on doing some testing in ie but I had a need to go ahead and get the site live so testing in browsers with browser stack is a priority this week along with uploading more projects and adding comments to the blog.

• The contact page is without a doubt my least favorite section and I will be changing it soon. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions on the contacts page and I plan on incorporating all of your comments. Also thanks for all the great references as well.

the responsive font is a priority for sure. I noticed the proportions are way off as the site transitions between mobile resolutions. I also plan on taking a look at those break points.

Thanks for the good comment. I learned a great deal of the HTML, CSS, and rails at treehouse. I also went to Big Nerd Ranch for Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I also use www.codeschool.com

Thanks for the comments on the spacing. I will take that into consideration and test some different options. Also the wordiness is a little much so I will be looking at being more concise with my text throughout the site.

please keep all the great feedback coming

I think the site looks wonderful and evokes a bit of excitement. I like the bright colors, they are quite bold. But I personally love lots of color when used well.

As an addition to what Michael Morton mentioned on cutting down the text, that's a possibility. My suggestion would be to add a little space to your line-height, both in the text under the sub headers & even in the blog page. The text seems a bit scrunched together. Just a little space I think will make all the difference.

Also maybe add a smaller version of the image of yourself that you use on your about page on your contact page. That would I think bring it up to par with the rest of your pages.

Great job!
