The website has a simplistic design, there are three main colours that have been used these are white, grey and green. This provides a good contrast for people who are viewing the website. The same layout has been used through out the website to keep consistency.

The main emphasis of the website is on the banner, even though the banner adds a graphical feature, I think this could have been a bit smaller as this would make the banner fit in with the overall look of the website more. The main features such as the links could have been made to stand out more so that when users are using the website they can navigate around the site more easily.

The homepage has a welcome page which is also been used to show recent work and news updates. I like the way the text has been broken down so that there isn’t loads of writing to scroll through.

The about me page has information about the designer. On this page she has also added recent work and news updates again, I think that maybe this doesn’t need to be on every page and could also be categorized so that this fits in with the portfolio page.

Her portfolio page has a number of different websites that she has designed, I like the way that the websites have been designed has it makes it easy to view her work. But I think may be she could have had less writing on the page so that more websites she has designed could have been added to the page.

The contact page has a simple contact from to leave information so that you aren’t having to fill in boxes of information.

The website is well structured, there are there main colours that have been used these are white, grey and green. The website has a clean look and is well laid out keeping his portfolio simple with only having a few pages. The same layout has been used through out the website to keep consistency.

The homepage has all of the main information for the website. On each of the pages there is a moving image which allows you to click on it so that you are able to view his work. I like this feature as it allows you to view his work from any page that you are on. The text is well set out making the main text bold so that you know what the website offers.

The portfolio page has images and text to explain what the website is about. I think that the images are at a good size so that these are easy to view so that you no exactly what the website is about. On some of the paragraphs there is to much spacing between them, if they were more together it may make it a little bit easier to read.

The contact page has a contact form which has a few boxes to leave any details.
