I finished my portfolio page about a month back, and I kept changing the color schemes and layout. I’m still not sure if I like the green, but I’ve decided to leave it for now because if I keep changing it I’ll never move on to other projects!
The green doesn’t works so well with that green at all. So I’ll try to make with a good palette of colours, dig the web to find a palette that you like the most!
Yes the colors were my biggest issue! I love design and I’ve always had a distaste for the combo of green and orange, but for some reason I combined them!
I’ll see what I can do. Can you (or anyone else for that matter) recommend any color theory or just general design resources out there on the web?
About the navbar – do you mean one that collapses, or just a smaller one? Because I can’t find a way to get a slimmer, sleeker navbar on mobile. The tabs just collapse under the bar and although it works it looks clunky.
Thanks for the social buttons tip, that sounds like a good idea
For your portfolio:
I really like the green bars showing your skillsets, the purple is a great shade!
However there is too much blank space beneath it before the portfolio section.
The back background in your portfolio doesn’t really go well with the rest of the page. Maybe you can have it be white, and make the background of the contact section purple?
I think you should use a good contrasted palette. The contrast should be between background and the links and header for example, with reds, magentas etc.
Yes, the one that collapses. Also make the text CamelCase (I guess) or maybe all UPPER would be better.
Are you not using any framework?
I used Bootstrap.
Thanks for the feedback, I will check and see what I can do. I have created as post for that…so if I change anything I will update it there and let you know here as well.
The reason why I left so much whitespace is, because I don’t know what else to put there.
Do you mean the placeholders or just the small buttons? My computer screen is quite old and damaged so colors always look a bit “softer” for me, I didn’t know it was that bright!
