Hello. I have posted up version 16 of my site. If anyone has the time to critique the site, I would appreciate it. The site isn't complete yet, as there are links that haven't been activated. And, from the previous feedback I received, the intro will have a "pop-up note" to inform the viewer how to navigate the site. In the meantime, I hope it isn't too difficult. The link is below:

ok off top I can tell you, for your portfolio it takes too many click to actually see something. I usually dont trip off that but it took more than 4 clicks to actually see something. That must change. Also I am not to fond of the nav and the sites actually takes a while to come together (intro) and I missed a skip button. Also the colors and overall design seems very flat. i like the direction you were headed but the execution let me down. And may I see the other 15 version...:lol: Never saw anyone put v16..

Even with knowing exactyl what to do, you cannot get to the meat of your site or see anything worth while in under 30-45 seconds.
;( :tired:

^lol.

Lose the Enter Screen. Clear up the clicking for the selection screen for the portfolio contact and remember to embed your fonts.

Would be nicer if it was full screen having it so small kinda looks weird.

Wow, let me just say version 16 is impressive lol. I cant do past v2 of a site without scrapping it. Oh & i love your illustrations, very kinky stuff :hoser:.

Pretty much, I liked your site.

Then I hit the Contact Info button from the main screen. Then I instantly hated your site. I was looking for a back button? Then I am moving my mouse across the screen... "Where is the back button? Where is it?!". Then I saw my cursor change to a hand... then back to a arrow... So I am moving my mouse in circles thinking "what the heck?!"... You shouldn't have white buttons on a white background.

Is the theme of your website "hide and seek"?

I'm sorry. I am usually not this negative towards sites, but that was just ridiculous.

The first 15 versions are more incomplete than this one. If you were let down by this one, the other ones will depress you.

Thanks for the input.

The "theme" isn't exactly hide and seek, but my objective is to explore the site, finding the hidden buttons. Since you showed a lot of discontent towards that approach, I have to restructure it.

I'll restructure the navigation...and, I thought I embedded the fonts already.

navigation is impossible..it took me forever to figure out how to get out of the portfolio section
also, the font in the section about you is waaaaay too small..i can't read it at all :S
and one more thing..the site isn't vertically centered on the page, so there's a huge blank space below, which i personally do not like..it might be my browser, but i dont think so :P

Actually, I don't know how to vertically center it. I can center the page but not vertically center it. As for the nav and the fonts, it will all be restructured...I got enough complaints as a good reason to do it.

So for anyone who would care, stay tuned.

LOL

FWIW noone cares what version number it is, and 16 versions really tells that you haven't nailed it well enough each time.:P
