Hey guys.

We should have a place for web design review or something.

I think that would be cool.

What do you guys think?
 
Yes! Your website first! Post linky!!!
 
OVERALLY :
Lightweight
Clean
Responsive
Good Mobile Rendering

Recommendations:
Your website without www doesn't redirect to www
Underscores in the URLs. Rather use hyphens to optimise SEO
No Customised 404 page

Looking at the page source of your site, very neat and tidy formatting. I like that in a site.

However, you might want to run it through a html validator such as http://validator.w3.org/ as there are a few minor things that need adjusting.

Nice use of colours.

Looking at your portfolio, you seem to be spot on with your designs. They all look very slick.
 
Real nice simple and clean

On an iPhone 5s, in portrait, the quotes on the various pages overflow into the footer.
The images on portfolio only seem to have a left margin.
 
I'm still trying to build myself a full on portfolio type site. At the moment I've only got my coming soon page up :)

I'm more of a back end Java developer so any web project I do is more of a learning thing for myself. That page I was simply getting familiar with a lot of the webdev tools like gulp, browsersync etc :) So honestly not too much to review there but I thought I'd post it anyway :p

If you want to take a look at my basic idea for the full site layout I've been publishing my "dev" builds here

And lastly my other mini project/site I'm busy with

http://104.131.50.129/

This 1 I wanted to build fully using NodeJS, AngularJS, PassportJS & MongoDB. It's just a simple webscraper concept to keep track of all the different page views where it logs the changes to a mongodb. All the logs etc are then accessible through an admin page using PassportJS as the authentication method :) Again nothing too exciting.

When it comes to design I'm always trying to go for the clean, flat look. I normally base most of my "designs" off some of Google's pages and then whatever else I find that I think looks cool...Basically I'm not creative enough so these are all my attempts at trying to get better :p The majority of my time with these couple of sites though were spent wanting to get it to be as fast as possible. I wanted to change all my images to webp but IE and Firefox aren't too happy with that yet :(
