moving to the critique forum Apr 29 15 07:02 am Link In my opinion, the header and page title images are competing for space and turn me off. I had to scroll a lot to access the text. Consider removing the page title (you don't really need those on parent pages) and heading image. -On the portfolio page, if you could put a sliding image gallery in the individual project details that would clean up a lot of space. -Simplify the About page and include your stats and styles. If I find you first on your website I don't want to be directed to a new website (MM) to get yours stats. Remove the selfie and consider adding your best portfolio image to the side of the text. The Hello's in different languages above new paragraphs throw me off. If you want to keep them, put them all on one line at the very top. Add MM to your social links! -On the Press page, I see images of what *could* be published pages but there's no information. What publication? Include some text information and a link to the issue. Apr 29 15 09:46 am Link You have a weird typo on your contact page. The part giving your email in case the form doesn't work. Apr 29 15 10:24 am Link For a website where images speak more than a thousand words, you have a thousand words or even more. Way to much. Also, but this may be regarded as valuable in your region, I would get rid of all that info about you doing modeling training and academy and stuff. You might have aced the exam, but you are not valuable to a team and client if you can't work the way they want. I noticed from the source code you are using squarespace, I am sure they have way better templates available no? Apr 29 15 01:20 pm Link Ditto on the "About" page. I would just have a 2 or 3 short paragraphs about yourself with maybe a behind the scenes shot on the right. There's too much scrolling to where you can lose track. The "Portfolio" is arranged nicely. Just keep in mind people want to go through the least amount of clicks as possible to reach your work. Not sure what "Press" really does over the "portfolio" page. Seems irrelevant in my opinion. I would combine "video" with the "portfolio" page, unless you are planning to have more than one video. "Contact" page is great! Also if you're using squarespace, I suggest using the cover page feature where the audience get's hit with a "money" shot then afterwards can dive through the other stuff you have on your site.

Everyone kind of likes to talk and share their stories. But you're right - I think there's just a bit too much fluff.

All that stuff I found online. Apr 30 15 12:09 am Link |
