My Website

Ted · Sep 8, 2018

I've always wanted my own website and I finally got one thanks to MTG
Leave me some feedback on it! I spent many hours working on it.

IMO you should almost never have music on a website. Also some text is unreadable because it's white on white. There's barely anything else to comment on.

sleek design, one thing i did notice that you might want to add is little speaker button in the corner to mute the music. some people might not like it, I liked the music but remember someone might not

Ok so here's my opinions:
IMO this website looks super immature in terms of design (no offense)
1. Remove the particle.js effect. It's super overused and no good website should be using it in 2018. Maybe use a parallax effect for the background instead?
2. The typography is off. In your <h4> where it says "Web designer / developer" the letter spacing is too much. You might want aslo make your main header bold or something. (edit it looks like the header is already bold, but you might wanna test a bit more with the text)
3. You should also probably add a blur or a light background color in the back of the white-border-box that surrounds your content, because it is somewhat hard to read.
4. The icon hover effect also looks somewhat immature. I would increase the transition speed and make it not scale up that much. Good design is always subtle and meaningful.
5. There is a little overflow on the page, you should try to figure out whats causing this, or an easy fix would be adding the following to your CSS:

Code:

body {
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
overflow: hidden;
}

Lastly, I know you said this is your first website, but in the future if you plan to work as a freelancer, you might want to make some changes;
a) Get a better domain. You can try to freelance small projects to make at least $12 to get a .com or something.
b) add SSL. Some hosting providers provide this for free.
c) Since you did say you are a graphic designer, you might want to take some web design courses, or lurk around dribbble.com etc. for inspiration.

Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions. But I'm new to web development, and part of this website was brought from other resources. I don't plan to work as a freelancer either. This is just something I made and forgot about it

However, thank you for this. I will look into web development more into the future.. All of what I've done is self-taught and going from web-web to fix problems or add small things.
