Narfmaster Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Fine enough layout, deeeefinately worth changing the font to Verdana or Helvetica pretty snappily though. In my experience your portfolio really needs to show off your talents as a designer so go all out with it. :] Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 yeah i know.. its def a work in progress. but at least now i can show some things that i have made and hopefully add to them. spread the word and get my site out there Link to comment
Jeter2Fan93 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 If you need designs/layouts, try http://www.opendesigns.org/. (I'm in no way affiliated with them). Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 haha, well if you realized it. i dont think you would have caught it. but I MAKE DESIGNS FOR CASH. thats what my site is. LMAO wow. delete that post please Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 At least your a donator Link to comment
Jeter2Fan93 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I wasn't trying to insult you; I was merely pointing out a site to reference for layouts. Right now, your current layout is ok but it doesn't jump out as web designer for hire. Sorry if it came across wrong. Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 i know. like i said im working on it. i just wanted to get something up so people can see my works. Link to comment
biggyme13 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 It's terrible. Honestly, I'd take Jeter's advice... some of those free designs are a great start, and easily customizable to your needs. Just use one to "get something up so people can see" your works. Link to comment
Jeter2Fan93 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Another thing I would suggest, regarding your contact page: If you're going to put your screen name or email address, consider creating separate ones for work and play. "LeBron 0wns Y0u" doesn't scream out that you're willing to chat seriously. Just something to consider Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 yeah i thought about that. but i also figure im pretty lazy and dont like to log onto two sns at once haha Link to comment
mike868y Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 laziness is not a way to build a good, profitable business btw Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 im well aware of this. i am currently working on a template that is 100% better than the current. my main focus of announcing this was just getting the name out there. for better or for worse. i should have it up and coded within a week or so Link to comment
mike868y Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 i would recomend moving to wordpress or drupal. They are very flexible and make great site design very easy. Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 i thought about WP at first, but I dont have much experience with coding wordpress templates. so, until i learn that im doing this. And the way I have it set up I can just replace the background color with an image and it doesnt really affect the coding much at all.i like to keep things neat and organized. it makes for a more professional look and it is much easier to manage when you have a lot of things that you are dealing with.

Jeter2Fan93 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Organization and simplicity work great Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 hah yeah, well i am showing a preview of my next design. Link to comment
Jeter2Fan93 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Wow. MUCH better. Good job! Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 hah well it IS a web design site. like i said i just wanted to get something up. then i add in my design =] Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 heres an update: i have been working on coding the site up. it should be ready at the latest next friday. most likely wednesday, so i am pretty happy about that because then i can get rid of that old crappy design and put my new nice one in. Link to comment
mike868y Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 the new design looks to be up, its really good but here are a few recomendations:1. make a mouseover on the nav bars2. change the font to something other than times new roman3. make the sidebar be links as opposed to just text4. link to some of the site you've designed as opposed to just images5. the air and heat integrity design and the design for the fire department are almost identical with just a change in color, it seems a little repetitive to have them both6. get rid of the alternative blue highlight on the portfolio pageoverall it is a huge improvement Link to comment
AirForceOnes Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 actually every single one of those that you listed were on my list of things to change. right now im working on a new way to present my portfolio. i mean as far as that page goes.anyways, i am working on that as well as another movie review site. so i have a lot to do for a while haha Link to comment
