A New Portfolio

Posted 21 June 2008 - 07:07 PM

Hey everyone!

I registered here a couple of months ago and never really got the time to get into it. Now I finally do and I'd like to introduce myself by presenting you my new portfolio page. It's my first real portfolio and I actually launched it yesterday, so beware the fresh paint on the wall...

http://www.lerain.de

I'm really looking forward to some comments.

Cheers,
Lerain

Smooth design, original in places, for me atleast.
Not strict, but clean enough coding.
Just one tip: add more attention to cross-browser compatibility, i see a small glitch in main page with last two categories, browsing it with ff2

Anyway, looks professional enough. Keep it up!

Hi Chung & Maxson, thanks for your replies

Yea crossbrowser-coding gave me some headaches there. I think I've been experimenting too much without cleaning up the code every once in a while; I should have probably re-started from scratch at some point. Anyways, thanks for the advice Maxson - I'll try to fix that as soon as possible.

About the prices - yea I was not really sure about them indeed, which is why I made that "fixed" and "orientational" price-separation in case of websites with alot pages, long promo videos, booklets with many pages, and so on... Adjusting them to an adequate level is a matter of experience I suppose.

Thanks for the feedback!

I also like the color change on each page and dislike the white space to the right of the screen. I find the vertical links on your Collection of Work page difficult to read, too. Overall, I think it's a great website.

You also have spelled the word "amount" wrong on your Contact page.

"I did this separation because the ammount of work for some projects . . ."

Fixed the typo, thanks alot

The white space on the right was the very last thing I worked on. I didn't really want to just expand the gray bars of the top header and the footer. The white space in between always looked like something was missing. If the site had a dark background it would've been a different story. I felt a little frustrated at some point because I didn't find THE solution and I was like... screw this - lets just cut it off; in the truest sense of the word But his is definitely something I'm gonna think about again.

I finally fixed these bugs. I was/am using FF3 and didn't expect any major changes in the way the browser interprets the CSS (in comparison to FF2), which is why I didn't notice the problems with FF2 :/

Thanks again for the notice!

/edit: and I added a new/old project, linked on the main-page.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Yeah, I actually love the portfolios where you can scroll through the entire collection of work on one page, but on the other hand I wanted to add text to most of the projects and hence I went for the extra 'work' section.
