Show DN: My new portfolio. Thoughts?(aleksitappura.com)

almost 5 years ago from Aleksi Tappura, Designer

    I have had a quick look through and had the following thoughts:

    It feels fast, loading is minimal which is good.

    Stick the gradient that you have on body::before on the html and make the body background white. Then when you get browser bounce when scrolling up you will see the gradient rather than white space which will look nice and give the impression that extra care has been taken in development.

    You say you have 5+ years experience on the about page but your work experience only goes back to 2015. That would make me suspicious (of your maths skills at the very least).

    It feels basic but the case studies are neatly presented.

    Hope that helps.

      Thanks for the feedback!

      I edited some copy on the about page. My intention on that paragraph was to showcase that I've been doing this stuff for 5+ years, and not that I've been working professionally that long :)

      eehhh the amount of work shown doesn't have to correlate with the amount of time you've been working.

        Don’t worry, I didn’t expect to see five years worth of case studies!

        Originally, the about page text said that Aleksi had 5+ years experience but then went on to show only 3-4 years of actual work experience listed. As a potential employer I would find that suspect. I wasn’t having a go, just pointing out the inconsistency that has now been fixed.
