Hello DevBest.

I use to only code, and never design, because I never knew what to do next on one of my designs. But now, I'm pushing to become great at both coding and designing, so I would have a full set of skills. I designed a portfolio for myself, and I am at a standstill, in terms of what content to add next. Here is what I have now.



Can anyone suggest what I should change, or what I should add to complete the webpage?

Thanks in Advance,
Chris

I swapped the labels for the images around, you had them the wrong way :p

Anyway, here are a few tips you could use for improving in my opinion:

  • Design your website around your logo (or vice versa) - For some reason I feel the yellow in the logo doesn't really match with anything on the site;
  • Typography is a key part of design, choosing fonts that go well is always good and considering what their role is, is even better. For example, at the moment I feel your navigation font would suit better as a paragraph font and your main text over the image would suit better if it was bigger and stood out more on the page;
  • Chill with the shadows on the text, it looks like you're going for a flat sort of feel, keep it that way. By all means keep the shadow just go a little lighter maybe?
  • The colour of the font on the green doesn't feel right, maybe go for a white or lighter font or else the contrast starts to clash
  • I don't think the footer needs to be so large, it's not an important part of the page and it doesn't need much attention at all - reduce the padding you're using and maybe center the text
Sorry if this seems a lot, in reality it's not.. I've just attempted to explain why I've said each point. If there's anything you don't understand (probably because I rushed this and it doesn't make sense) just ask. It's a design that could be nice and modern, stick with it and take in to account what others have to say about it.

Also, moved this to "showcase" as that's the best place for feedback.

UPDATE:



How does this look? I wasn't sure how to design this page so I did it in a "FAQ" kinda layout.
