2. Put your location, phone number and email at the top of the page.
3. If this is your portfolio to sell your design services, what's up with "blogger entrepreneur"?
4. Please explain what kind of work you specialize in. It may seem obvious to you, but it's not to us. Mobile experience? etc.
5. The examples are too small, and should link to a larger image, not to the actual website (which will change).
In short: right now, I can't tell what kind of work you do, and I can't contact you easily.
Thanks for your input! :D
Having links to work you did do nothing for me. Did you design and code the whole site or did you just create the search button? You need a separate page just for your work that explains what you actually did.
I don't mind a contact form to be honest, but that also should be its own page. You should provide email and a link to an actual resume on your about me page and/or home page. If they would like to use your form they have the navigation option to dive into that page. Majority of the time they will email you from their mail client so that it is documented.
Your page shows how good or bad you are. What it shows me currently is that you have some design skills but your UX is terrible. The Organization of content, easy of use and relevance of content is done poorly. Create some page flows and really abstract pages for a single purpose not an all in one page that shows everything. I want to get to where I'm going and bounce not search.
1. Get rid of the Emerson quote. On a smaller display, it hides your contact information.
2. "Spam my inbox" sounds pretty negative. When combined with using a contact form (not how I like to email people) it would prevent me from writing you. Also, you call this email, but it is a contact form.
3. "Write your kickass message here". I'd change this - not because of the swearing but... "kickass"? I like the enthusiasm but I do not have a kickass message for you. Keep the enthusiasm, iterate on the message.
4. Keep the contact form but visually integrate my email address into it.
5. You're going to get a lot of comments about your form. I think it is a nice form, one of the better ones I've seen, visually, but some people will find it hard to accept that you have a big focus on user experience if you continue to use it. Not me, but some.
Overall, seems to be a big hate towards contact forms -- I don't quite understand why as maybe I want a bit more information to qualify the contact (like info on where they found out about me, or budget)? Just giving an email address doesn't allow for this.
Did you do the UX of the sites in your portfolio? Everything? Since there are so few, maybe turn them into case studies and describe what the client needed and why you did what you did.
