Hey thank you very much

[TextOnAFlatScreen]

Looks very clean and properly designed. Only criticism I would have is the Search field, why would you need it for a portfolio?

Post your URL here when it's all done! Would love to see the finished project. Ace design

[the better twin]

Love your work giannisgx89. I second what TextOnAFlatScreen says. Would be great to see it live.

Wow, that design looks great!
If only we all could design like you

I really like the design but the only thing I would change it to not to round the corners of the search. It looks out of place with the rest of the content boxed. Would like to see it could out.

Thank you all guys i made some more fixes (visually) to the site but i'm having trouble finding and using a slideshow like this
Anyone can help me out?

Also about the searchbox, i'll remove it and i'll put the menu icons there.

[giannisgx89]

Just wanted to say that the website is almost ready and i'll post the link here in 1 or 2 days and you guys can give me more feedback too.

You can check how the home screen looks like with all the slideshows and some other new improvements.

Today i'll upload the rest of the categories once i finish the last touches.

So tell me what do you think about the design and fuctionability of the website?
Also keep in mind that the home page plays the 3 slideshows at the same time but this will change and they will play at different timmings and maybe
i'll change the some of the hover slideshows images.

I also made businesscards too so i'd like your feedback for them too.

I know your website is not finish yet but the design page is having messing images.

[TextOnAFlatScreen]

Site is 'Under Construction', you probably know that.

But business cards look well made, make sure you don't skimp on the printing if possible!

As for slideshows and 'fancy' moving concoctions I always check http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/ (site is in development, not complete but most of the useful plugins are still there).


Edit: maybe this page is easier to navigate http://archive.plugi...om/most-popular

Really thank you for your help

The website in online now http://www.johnxde.com and it is almost complete, i only have to add previews of my works (websites and logos).

Now i don't know if i have any kind of errors in my website or useless lines of code that makes it load slowly.
Maybe i should try and replace the backgrounds with gradient but when i tried to do that at first time the gradient was not so smooth, it was like separated with lines.

Again thank you for your feedback guys and i'm looking forward to improve the website even more.

According to the net panel in firebug, there's 1.7Mb worth of content on the homepage, so I'd definitely look into optimising where possible, even when loading virtually everything from the browser cache the total load time is ~10 seconds (and that's on a 30mbps connection).

Other than that though, it's a nice design, if a little busy for my liking (not a fan of elements that move without intervention, the previously mentioned change on hover, or even click to scroll would have been my preference for the slideshows, I think)

[giannisgx89]

Thanks for the feedback guys
i tried to optimise the images but most of the have transparency and they are in png format.

I saw once that i can slice the website from photoshop and it will automaticaly optimise the images and it will make them in jpg with very small size, is that true?
