Hey guy and gals, my website is up and running. I'm looking for critiques on my work and design on my website.

My Website

[A Sober Irishman]

Alright, just some general stuff about your website as I don't really feel that qualified to critique your work. Most of the stuff that needs fixing is pretty minor, I suggest you read this really good article: Your Portfolio Repels Jobs.

First of all, drop the About Me page, and move the information from it across to your Contact/Resume page. You should also make sure that every page has your contact information, even if it is just your email, leaving your phone number on the contact page, because you should ensure that employers do not have to go hunting for a way to contact you, ever.

Your demo reel does not seem to work. It might be just a broken link. Also, I think that the links page is kind of unnecessary, but if you absolutely must have it, get rid of the two random guy's emails, chances are that the person looking at your work is not going to be emailing them anytime soon, especially if they have no way of seeing any of their work either. Also, I lied about not commenting on your work, you should have your name and email address/website URL on every image, so if someone saves it then wants to know where it's from in future, they will know straight away.

I also think that your 2d page should be presented in the same way as your 3d page, with the full size images appearing in the frame besides the thumbnail. Other than that your site design is pretty solid. Just make sure you read that link too, it has been really helpful to me, I'm in the process of redesigning my site now, and it is my main point of reference.

Fallowing A Sober Irishman's advice, I made some adjustments to my portfolio page. Although I kept the about me page I changed my 3d work to my home page and added a flash gallery. I've also corrected the link to my demo reel. Unfortunately, I don't have an actual reel yet but it's coming soon. But I forgot to put my contact info on all my images, so I'll do that for version 1.3
