My Portfolio, Redone.

[surfcali]

Alright, so I re-done my entire profile using tables (I know, some will say bad idea, but I prefer it..). Anyways, I updated the sections, have more samples and whatnot. Please review, thanks.

The site looks good, and the tables don't take away from it.
I do have a few questions:
1) Do you have any other graphic designs other than the Ipod inspired ones? It just shows that you are re-doing ads, rather than designing them.
2) If you have been in business for 13 years and are going to emphasize it, you should show off more of your portfolio and give people an idea of what you have done, other than re-doing Ipod ads.
3) Doing graphic designs for as long as you have, you should show off some of your prior work. If you copied Ipod ads for inspiration, what did you do in the past? Show off some of your work and show how you have progressed over the past 13 years.
Other than that, the site looks good.
Good luck......

thanks. as far as the ipod deal, that's in the past work section, which is just for the work i've been paid for (i.e. graphic deign jobs)..the main course of my work is in the samples. i've done lots and lots of different kind of random graphics, but just started building websites. that explains why my samples section is smaller than it should be seeing that i've been doing graphic design since 13. what i didn't mention on the site, is that i just started messing with web design only this year. thats why i'm not opening to clients yet, i want to learn more about designing websites. but yeah, the past work is a section for my past jobs (i should rename it, maybe)..not a collection of all my work. thanks for the tips

Just a small comment...

Are you going to place it with a different host to angelfire?

When I entered your site I got a pop up for an online casino. If I was looking for a designer and went to your site I wouldn't be impressed by having casino ads thrown at me.

yeah, as soon as i decide to start making websites for clients, i'm going to upgrade to a professional server.

I liek it though, when you go to the samples page, and click on a sample, i got stuck, i think that there would be a back page, or a next page. i think that that would make more comfortable buyers, so there wouldnt be any loose strings.. also i think it would be better if you added a bit more of contact info..it looks a bit plain IMO. also i dont really like having to "squint" my eyes to read, it hurts my eyes in a strenouous way. but very nice none the less good job

Same thing happened to me on the samples page.

CSS layouts are the future, don't get intimidated by going tableless.
