Ask HN: I've created 4 versions for my portfolio. Let's choose the best

2 points| csbartus | 12 years ago | reply

Hello Hackers,

Up until now I had a very basic version of my web design & development portfolio, http://01.its-csongor.com, and my customers liked it.

Not so much myself so I've replaced with one 'better' using a golden ratio layout and unusual presentation: http://its-csongor.com. Now it seems people find it not so good like the previous.

So I've created another two versions, more classic but still strong: http://02.its-csongor.com and http://04.its-csongor.com

If you have time and interest I would like to ask you to tell me which one is the best, how I should go forward.

Thanks a lot!

01 - Found it a bit confusing as to which link I should click first. Add fuel to your business? Let's get started?

Current - Interesting idea but I found it difficult to mouseover a particular portfolio site due to the small hitbox for each covered one. Also don't like how the navigation seems crammed in an odd spot.

02 - This one isn't bad but I didn't like the home page. Not sure if it was just broken in my browser or if I was supposed to see just one sentence until I clicked on it.

04 - By far my favorite. Although I wish the navigation was at the top instead of the bottom.

You are obviously working on a big screen. Even with my 15' retina I don't like any of them.

This one is good enough but still to large for me I guess. Maybe try to think less "big" http://04.its-csongor.com/ I would suggest for this one to not set each block with the screen width. Maybe try with 2 blocks per line, visitors will have a better overview of your site with less effort and scrolling.
