Need feedback on my new (uncomplete) portfolio design

Wow what a difference in the 2nd design - much brighter and more inviting + the latest projects really stand out.

ok thanks everyone. I am going to go with the second design due to everyone liking it, obviously if you think I can tweak it please let me know.

Now I need to really sort out the text. Anyone up for helping? I also have the services of Claire Brown Copywriter to utilise, so I will be asking her to draft me up some killer text, as my attempts as you can see are pretty lame.

HI Ben,

I have to say I really do like the second, my only question is, do you really need so many contact buttons/details on one page?

eg.
Quick Quote
Quick Contact
Contact Button at top
Contact Details on page
Contact Form on page
More contact details at the bottom
Contact link at the bottom

I know you want people to contact you but surely that is a bit OTT for one page?

Just opinion.

hmmm, yes it is alot, however, I dont think it comes over as super selly or anything, does it?

Hi Ben

The site with added colour is way improved, looks far more contemporary and funky.

I'm afraid I do agree about the overload of contact buttons/info! One link would suffice, its a bit overkill having so many links and forms.

Good luck with it

"we create great looking PROFFESIONAL logos..." Hopefully you get them spell-checked first?

The biggest mistake you can make is to big yourself up - and then mess up with a spelling mistake on your front page!

this is only a mock-up, and the text is merely filler text as such

ok, I've loaded up a new design, if you could comment on it. RE: the content, I will eb getting the fab claire brown copywriter to completely reword it e.t.c so thats not an issue here, I want to know if everything is there you want, if its too confusing e.t.c

Thanks,

Ben
