This is a design I intend to use as my portfolio website. It's getting closer to completion, but there's still some things I need to finish. What do you think of it as is?

Re: Critique my Portfolio Design

Move the "Custom Affordable Design" box down so it doesn't cover the FB, Twitter, and linkedin links.
Else looks good! great job!
 
Re: Critique my Portfolio Design

It's good, I'm liking it. Consider changing the flower though... or more specifically, the "pile of dirt" right above "Who Am I."

That was the first thing I noticed. Not good for potential customers, haha.

Hehe, I see how that can be easily misconstrued. The theme is supposed to be life, beauty, and growth and I don't know anything that better represents that than the flower/soil combo. Thanks for the feedback, both of you.

Yeah, the Affordable Design thing is getting in the way of the social network icons, but other then that it looks fantastic!

Looks Good 😉 the logo is kinda out of place
 
The icon for the logo is a bit too dark. I would more contrast to it. Just a suggestion.
 
There are several things I notice with your coding that are an issue if you are going to be selling design to others. You have no proper reset, your design looks absolutly awful in IE, even IE9 and you are using far too many images. You have the design idea but there is a lot to work on with the coding.
 
Works and looks great in chrome.
Didn't take a long time to load.
Can't see anything wrong.
 
Woah woah, is SONY really one of your clients?

Well, I plan to have sprites by the time it's officially open. I had to turn "I am a web designer..." into an image as the browser rendering of Georgia doesn't look as clean. I'm aware of the IE issue and am working on that best I can.

Lol, I wish. That's just a placeholder and won't be in the final launch.

You have your styles set as
Code:
margin: auto;
Sure, this will work in Chrome, FF, Opera and a few others, but in order to get everything centered in IE (well there are more than one ways to skin a cat!) you will need too add
Code:
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
to your container elements, while adding
Code:
text-align:left;
to your body. This is one way to fix this in IE. I'm sure there are others 😉

I appreciate the help! I'll implement this as soon as I'm at my computer. I tend to ignore IE altogether, but I know that's bad practice.
