- I was advised to try and make my logo more dynamic, maybe by using a more modern typeface or different style. Maybe to show more of my personality within the website.
- Maybe to try and give myself an identity, some sort of label so potential clients understand straight away what type of designer I am, i.e Graphic Designer, Illustrator etc.
- In my "about" section try and talk as a designer and not a student. Clients don't want to employ students, they want professionals.
- Lightbox- have been advised not to use lightbox on my website. Justin was talking to me about a three click rule; you don't want anything t be more than 3 clicks away. By having the lightbox involved it would make my website too busy.
- Meta tags- need to insert my meta tags; they help get my website found in search engines. VERY IMPORTANT!
As I'm not using lightbox anymore, I will have to have information on the images somewhere. I will experiment on having a dig tag below my slider gallery or possibly above.
I'm really glad I stuck with Dreamweaver and not Flash Catalyst or InDesign. People in my crit who had used other software were having more problems and were getting a lot more constructive criticism from the rest of the group. Dreamweaver is definitely the way to go for me; it just all makes sense, it's easy to edit/change, and things can be done with a click of a button using CSS.
