I've finally redesigned my stupid website(mahdif.com)

    Okay so besides the copy and the ton of useless content about you which tells me nothing about your skillset as a designer or a developer or whatever you want to be, I have a few points:

    • No client work. I had to go to your Dribbble account to see what you actually can do, although you are a quite decent designer. So what would make me hire you? Some stupid side-projects don't do the job well.

    • I get the idea with the copy, but some things don't make sense. "I love summer The sun & the beach." That's cool but who cares, how does that makes you good at your job. Get to the point.

    • If you want to use 30 photos to present yourself and your workspace, please make them at least a bit bigger

      Thank you Joshua for the nice words.

      If you want to know my professional skill-set you can always check my LinkedIn/Dribbble.

      My website is a place where I can express myself freely, and publish my side projects and experiments on the web.

      Yeah some stuff don't make sense because I didn't want them to, like that line you copied, I just wanted to put a smile on your face that's it, nothing else :)

      And about the pictures, maybe you're right I should've made them bigger.

        But the goal of the website is to make people hire you isn't it?

            For design-work? And not for being a funny guy right? It would be maybe a good idea to show your work then

              That's why I have a link to my dribbble account in the navigation and also a 3 tiny side projects in the projects section.

              The lab section is where I try different stuff while learning new languages or skills.

                Hm, if you want to keep your work on Dribbble and on Dribbble only, the site is quite pointless then. For the side-projects: Only one of them is actually designed: http://www.subsfinder.com/. (What does this btw?, the search exampes show "not found")

                  Don't agree with you on keeping a Dribbble account only.

                  It's a place where you can find substitutes for food, like if you were cooking and found out that you're missing something in your kitchen, you could search the website to find what else you could use.

                  The website is still new, try typing buttermilk you'll see some results.

                  Other websites aren't designed because I didn't think they need to be more complicated, the content is more important.
