Fair point David – and one I’ve thought about before – just finding the time for these things – as always!

Appreciate the feedback though and great to see your site is still going strong.

Hi Darren,

I’ve always liked the simplicity of Indexhibit sites. One suggestion is to further-integrate your blog so the transition is more seamless. Had you thought of WordPress instead of Blogger?

A few tweaks to the site since I last linked it on here so interested in hearing all your thoughts.

Still having issues in older versions of Explorer (who doesn’t!) but since my target market don’t generally use that browser it’s never bothered me too much – true be told I kind of like that it doesn’t work so well in it… kind of like 2 fingers up at IE!

Adrian, I recommend moving off Wix. Showing their advertising on your personal website, for free, isn't a wise move, and I know you can make a better job of it. My personal CMS preference is for WordPress. Good luck.

Hi,
I work as a junior designer in a Media Company. Recently I’ve decided to refresh my website and my portfolio. (Iast update was about 2 years ago). I’ll appreciate your professional comments.
P.S: I find your website very informative and well orginized.

I just found this page as I was writing a blog piece on this very thing “What your website says about you”. I love the exercise you’ve come up with and I had a similar one. I guess great minds think alike! :) I also included color and typography in the mix as well as the right font and color scheme can say volumes about a site (and the person behind it).

Thanks very much, Dara.

Your site is clean and uncluttered, which is great, though I find the small grey text on your black background quite difficult to read. As you can tell, white backgrounds are my preference, mainly for legibility reasons.

Hi David,

Great website & post!! I think your design definitely says all three about you. It’s a small thing but I like that you have your photo on here, having a face to the name (site) definitely makes it more trustworthy & friendly.

I am a graphic designer with HTML/CSS skills. I think I’m in a similar position to Josh as I have been learning HTML/CSS without using Dreamweaver, and built me site myself. I am also trying to get my head around databases and want to build my own CMS for my site. Hopefully these skills will mean that I can use them for freelance work.

I would like people to think I’m professional, creative and friendly. What do you think my site says about me? – I read the earlier comment about dark backgrounds being bad, I think that this is something I will definitely look at in the next update. I like how you’ve got your ‘dark bit’ as your footer.
