So, I launched my website a few days ago, and I'm looking for some critique; any suggestions made will be listened to, thanks in advance.

The three images on the home page should link somehwere, maybe to the 3 portfolios you have?
You have a "home" link when you are already in the "home" that doesn't make much sense, that "home" link disappears when you are browsing one of the portfolios, your name links to the home but that is not very user friendly.
I would make the arrows to navigate inside the portfolio bigger.

With those minor things in mind I think your site looks great, congratulations on the launching!

Casey Lee, you work is pretty impressive. I usually have a look at one or two photos when viewing a portfolio for CC but yours made me go through each one. I cannot falter the pictures since they seem to show your style well. I would like to see more since it feels kind of limited.

You about section seems to say you have done more than your site shows so try to match it. Apart from that, maybe include a photo of some sort for the contact section, the others have some pictures with text but the contact just turns into a bland block of text.

Either way, if I was in a band, would defo keep you in mind.

Hi Casey - I would have the three images on the home page as links too, as these were the first things I clicked on. Have you tried the background colour grey instead of the dark blue? I think this may look better - well that's my opinion anyway. The photo's are wicked, thanks for sharing!

Hey guys, unfortunately, a lot of those things are out of my control as far as button size, linking, etc. I'm running through a template website (Livebooks), and while I'm able to change the background directly around my image, I can't change the blue and keep the frame. Also, the front page is a JPG set to the size of the usable image space, and is thus unlinkable :/ I really wish I could use that to link, though. I will be uploading a couple more photos this evening, and might do a product shot specifically for my contact page.

Thanks everyone who has commented thus far, let's please keep them coming. :)
