so for the past 6 months, ive been to make a portfolio but never found the time. So this week end, instead of studing for my finals... ya i just designed my portfolio. I have uploaded all the work yet. lol ive designed more than 2 things.

.designer.online.showcase.

.MA TriX.

The Magellan Bioscience page is awesome, its really good. Incredible nice. It's clean, clear, aesthetically pleasing, I love it. Maybe the best design I ever seen on my decade on the web. Great logo too. It's a real masterpiece.

The Crawford isn't spectacular like Magellan, but its alright.

The Spencer Skeen site, well the inactive/dark image of work/client/about is way too dark, you can barely see them. The site doesn't have any contrasts.

The site does contain a <doctype...>, and does not validate as valid HTML code.

If you gonna do a image rollover, then its better to use CSS than JavaScript, because not all browsers support JavaScript, and not all people have it enabled, I use NoScript extension for Firefox.

Also, you should not use the © directly, you should use &copy; to HTML encode it.

Also see why tables for layout is stupid and this article about tableless web design.

Yea, this was a quick development for my portfolio. how i coded it is actually embarassing. I need to validate still and etc. Nice site on the image rollover. Ill make sure to change that.

thanks.

Nice work as always Ma TriX.

Also, you should not use the © directly, you should use &copy; to HTML encode it.

Is that so?

What difference does it make?

It's the HTML standard way of doing things, certain characters needs to be HTML encoded. So a valid document should use &copy; instead. It's the proper way.

It is even more important in XML, because if its not proper done, it fails to parse.

If you simply use the © instead of doing &copy; your pages will fail to validate.

its a portfolio meaing simple so i stayed away from the contrasting colors.

Simple is good. I like simple. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't use any contrasts.

For some reason, this makes me think of Albert Einstein, who once said; "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
