Hey /p/, I'm finally getting an online portfolio, and I'd like to hear you guys before publishing it.
I'm using Squarespace, which seems to be a good plataform... my idea is to have a simple, clean design. Hope it works well.
Also, I'd like to hear you about the chosen photos. I still may take out some of them, add another ones etc. (some of you may recognize some photos that I posted here in the past). My idea with this site is showing my work and possibly getting a job in photography. I have no specific area in mind at this moment, which may partially explain the somewhat... generalist?... character of the galleries.
Anyway, here's the link (sorry, still no domain... and sorry for the captcha too):

Obviously, feel free to post your own websites / portfolios / etc. I'd like to see some other portfolios for getting an idea on how others make this...
Pic somewhat related. It isn't in my site right now, but it was in previous versions...

Design is alright. Can't say I'm hugely fond of Squarespace's pricing when Format exists.
Some would suggest you leave out the "uncategorised" bit. It might be worth making a splash page providing it's tasteful
Design's ok. A bit basic, but that's not a bad thing. It's supposed to be about the pictures.
Don't know why you chose that pic with the kid as the first picture of Demonstrations. IMO it's the worst of the bunch and pic 2 and 3 are much more interesting and dramatic.
Also I'm pretty sure you don't want to refer to yourself at "it" on the About page.

Yeah, Squarespace seems kind of expensive...
I remember choosing it because Format had some issues, but I just can't remember the exact reasons right now (duh). Maybe something related with frequent updates that damaged templates or something?... can't remember. But I'm still in Squarespace's trial. There's time to change...
Good idea about the "uncategorised". Will look into that. Thanks!

You may be right about that pic - I always liked it for some reason, so my judgement is probably clouded...
Thanks for correcting my english (which isn't my native language, evidently). I was hoping that you guys would help me with this kind of stuff too.

(Just for the record: I just changed the order of these photos. Now 3th pic is the first one, and the pic with the kid is 4th).
Bump (sorry). Gonna publish it soon.
Any more tips?
