Nice find! This will help to reinforce the message that having a portfolio is paramount!

Harry.

 

Nice find, Mitzs. Rep coming your way. From the site's "about" page:

Gets my attention.

 

This sorta stuff is exactly what aspiring web designers/developers need to be looking at. Rep given!

 

Agreed, this is what newbies (to the web design world) need. Good doc.

 

Thanks guys, I know several questions have been asked about it lately and hope it will come in handy for someone down the road. Including me! Thanks for the reps guys.

 

So when are we going to see your first site that gets added to YOUR portfolio then Mitzs??

 

I fig that is still about a month away. I still have 9 chapters to finish in my css book, then I will have to pick dreamweaver back up after that. Then I will really get to play! I have to mary a site, one for our dogs and another one for my friends atv and repair shop.

 

I couldn't tell the dam thing posted! It just stayed at reply to thread box!

 

No worries. I removed the two duplicates.

 

Thanks for the useful link! From that article I found this portfolio. I love the little time of day theme feature, very nice touch!

 

Nice, but too dark for my tastes, plus it takes a long time to load. I hope his clients either have really fast connections or are patient.

 

Indeed from an aesthetic/code point of view it leaves a little to be desired (mainly in terms of size/load time agreed) but what I like is the way the time of day/night you arrive at the site determines the default theme.

Aesthetically i'd have preferred to see moon/stars or something along that colour scheme for the night time. The day theme is a bit of a poor colour choice too, something a little sunnier would have worked better than the white totality. It's the fact the feature was thought of and implemented in the site design that I like best about the site though.

 

I thought it was mine end. Glad to know it isn't.

 

Your first site won't be incorporating the merits of using duct tape?
