I must admit I wasn't a fan of your previous portfolio design, but this one is much better. Nice work James.

The way the <strong> tag is used, it could misguide search engines.

Quite impressed actually, i'll be honest and thought the old version was pretty poor but this is definetly a step up. Only change i'd make is getting rid of the scissors and maybe increasing the size of the logo / removing the text from underneath it.

Good job.

One other thing, i've just read over your contract for clients, i'd look at re-writing it or altering the current one. I think it could be a lot clearer and shorter, and idea maybe to use a custom contract for each project. Rather than listing all your services and prices etc you could list what your undertaking for that specific project and just require one signature.

I really like the new design bar the scissors and the small logo. However, I think a lot of the text doesn't fit together.

For example, you say "We are an in-house based company from Glasgow." which sounds very professional, but then next to that you say "It’s also a great way to socialize, so please do so and follow me on Twitter " which is super casual.

I think you should choose one or the other.

Do kind of agree, i think the only thing that makes "We are an in-house based company from Glasgow." sound professional is company. If it was.. "We are an in-house based team from Glasgow." It changes a whole lot. He's probably going for a professional, yet not over the top type.

Yeah, being 'in-house' is kind of casual right? Alot of business men use Twitter. For this version I want to make sure that I get to know my clients better and I think having a twitter account could be a greater advantage in achieving that.



Thanks for the heads up guys

I'm liking the new design but as always I feel that the actual content and some of the design decisions are really letting you down.

For the text on your page, I'd heartily suggest hiring a professional writer because I know at the moment you're going for "kind of casual" but actually getting bland and generic. There are also a number of grammar and spelling mistakes which any company, however casual, should do well to avoid.

You're probably not wanting an in-depth review so I won't ramble on too much! So I'll sum it up with, great work but could do better (sounding like a school teacher!).
