I have been working on all the content for this for about a month and a half from conception to creation. I have designed user interface and web designs since 2005. This website is all about what I offer, what I've done, and how I can help my clients.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Warm regards,
-Tim

Thats a really sleek design you have there. Really nice, lots of examples of your work, I like that. I wouldn't have linked to deviantart but thats just me (instead, fully display your work through your own site - which you pretty much did, so no reason to link to deviant anyway.) Good job.

Love your interface design work - very new, fresh, and techie without looking like an I.T. company trying to do design.

(Ok, there *ARE* a few I.T. companies out there with good designers but let's face it, MOST I.T. companies should avoid trying to do design)

I am really fond of your work - keep posting your stuff! I'd look at it any time, any day.

Yeah I hear on the DeviantART links, I wish some of the comments on that site weren't so unprofessional. :/

Thanks for the kind words guys, I'm glad you dig my work/site!

Nice site Tim. Like the use of tutorials. Good way to showcase your expertise and help others at the same time.

One piece of criticism... I think your graphics are very rich and really dominate the site. In contrast you chose a light font color as well as a light font-weight that when combined with the graphics makes it really hard to absorb the content of the site.

Content is where you communicate. Content is where you sell yourself. I would work on making your content more easily read.

Tim, I think the design looks really cool. The only suggestion that I would have is to change the background color slightly to look more noticeable when you hover over the top links.

Other than that I really like it.

Great job indeed! The design seems to be cool. You just need to work on the background as well as font color.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

the content on my pages.I will take most of them into account. The hover links could be a little brighter, I agree. Not sure about making my content easier to read. The font size is large, the font is clear and simple, and there is a good contrast between the letters and the background color of the content area. I don't think I can do much to make it easier to read. 99% of the normal viewers should be able to easily view and read. I'm totally open to suggestions though, just can't think of any on my own that aren't simply opinion/preference based.
