High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
never say this
Stop advertising on peoples thread. Stop being toxic. Hes asking feed back, not for an "Hey look at me Im God and your a peasant" to show up and tell him he sucks.
Seriously couldn't of have said it betterI'm just going to sum up what I said on your last post, not good.
Yes you want it to be simple and yes you want it to show your information but at a professional level that's not only what people want to see. They want to see your taste in design and your skills. Basic bootstrap HTML sites show none of this. If you want to charge £200 for websites then show for it. Static HTML sites are a thing of the past now. I cannot express this enough but you NEED to do better.
Here's what I want you to do: mockups. Download figma or Adobe XD (if you don't already have) and start using your brain's creativity state. Think of interesting styles and layouts for your site. DO NOT HOLD BACK! Even if you don't have the skills to do something you want, do it anyway. Plenty of people can help you accomplish it but you just need to have a mindset of what you want. I don't want to see a basic site. Go above and beyond.
For example:
Azerith design I made: mockups | site
Yes it's a forums theme but that's not what I'm getting at. Look at the creativity and unique features no other website has (to my knowledge). Where have I seen someone do a user menu system for xenforo? No where but this beautiful site is where I got the idea. Why'd I do it? Why not. I wanted it to be different than the other sites.
Have that mindset. Be creative and different. Go above and beyond. Don't hold back because you might think you don't have the skills. You can learn how to do it later. Come back here when you have at least 2 different designs for a DYNAMIC website that WILL NOT use bootstrap or any other CSS frameworks. I'm going to get you off that road. You say you are experienced in HTML, CSS, and JS; then let's put it to the test. An experienced person can use what they know about CSS flex box or CSS Grid (I personally like CSS Grid) and JS to create something responsive and feature-rich like bootstrap but unique to you. Get at least 2 different mockups of something creative and unique and get feedback from those. Then dive into pain and suffering (let's be real, it's going to happen) to accomplish your chosen design.
Good luck!
Kuchy | Web Developing Cake
P.S. Do good or no cake for you
Kuchy is a prime example of someone not being scared of trying something no one else dares to in terms of design, and it really shows how good this cake is
This site is pretty plain and something a person who just started learning web design for a month or so can do, so try experimenting, there will be many failed attempts (I myself have like 15 folders of different versions for my site from past) but you will get it eventually and it will be a proper representation of you
It's always good to see people wanting to improve themselves, Good Luck! I'll start from the top and go down.
Theme:
Generally it's best to avoid using centered text for paragraphs unless you have a clearly defined boundary for the text, something like a group of service listings for example, so I would recommend changing your paragraphs to a left justification. You can use containers to center your text when it's left justified so there's no need to change the formatting to properly place it in most cases.
I like your use of the single page website concept, it's fairly well done and each individual section is well spaced to ensure only one fits on the screen at any one time without any bleed. Your white-space is generally ok but when you scroll there are areas, like the bottom of the top section and the contact area, where it's just not even which detracts from the overall layout without any real goal.
Whether it was a conscious decision or not, we of the internet thank you for choosing a sans-serif font.
Content:
You don't say much in your introduction and that's leaving your first view pretty empty, if you don't have anything else to say you should consider making the text a bit larger and adding an image to take up a little more space. If you don't have content of your own to add you can use stock imagery to add visual flavor.
You have a... something... at the end of the first content area which just feels out of place. The capitalization of the text over the chevron makes it feel like a heading but it's not. The chevron itself serves no real purpose, people scroll sites all the time, yes you have more content but there are better ways to say it's there if it exists solely to point down. Consider making it a button and having it automatically scroll you to the next content area, or have it add visual appeal with a minor animation.
Your second content area's focus is on the images, which isn't a good thing, it's actually harder to look at the text because your eye is constantly drawn to the large bright images which flank it on two sides. You should make the images smaller and the text larger. It's also worth noting here that while your headings make good use of color changes they don't have much else to draw the eye, you might consider adding a banner or some small icons to spice things up a bit without going overboard.
There's not much to say about the slider, if there's nothing in it get rid of it.
The contact area deserves it's own page view, your goal is to have people use those details to reach out to you, don't hide them away at the bottom of the page where they can be overlooked. Consider adding a fixed box with your details or moving the contact details down and adding a form to send an email.
That's about it. I hope this was at least a little helpful.
Theme:
- Your use of black, purple, and white is actually pretty good.
- Your use of justification and white-space leaves a bit to be desired. (Details Below)

Content:
- The introduction area is lacking in content.
- The second content area's focus is wrong.
- You shouldn't use placeholders as content.
- The justification of everything is awkward.
