I found that I gave my site my personality very well while still keeping it professional. I also found that I was able to do a full rounded case study that explains my process very well without it being too much information.
What did you do poorly?
I feel like I could have produced more case studies. But with the time frame we had I only had one case study available to me, while the other ones I would like to include are not done yet. I will be taking the time over the break to add to my site.
What could be improved?
I feel like I could have more variety in my patterns to give me more options to circulate through with each page, some pages have the same pattern and might look a bit repetitive and learning users to think they didn’t change pages.
What complications did you overcome?
I overcame some complications with my specializations sections where it was not staying within the boxes I wanted and did look good in the between page sizes. I overcame this buy putting embed containers and giving it a width that can work for small medium and large screens with media query.
Does the website communicate the right message?
I feel like the website defiantly communicates the right messages, professional yet still fun and engaging for the user.
Is the website usable?
Yes, the website is fully usable and I am very happy with the outcome. I am still contemplating using parallax scrolling on my site, it does still look very nice as it is right now, but I can add it to add a little more interest to the site.
