First website, need your opinion.

Hi guys,

[https://ayoubelmohamedi.com/])

I need some reviews as I’m still working on a website. A friend of mine is a designer, and I’m building him a portfolio. There is many things I still have to do.

The images for examples will be changed to a better resolution. He didn’t provide me with his logos and assets yet, but I had to the images being downloaded from his original old website.

Any suggestions for optimizing the images? I don’t think imagify is free as they told me I have no credits left.

Thanks!

  1. some of the case studies has images with a quality that is disgusting. I will be changing that as soon as I have the full resolutions images. Still any better tips to add high quality images?

  2. Where it says “WORK TOGETHER”, I’d change the “together” color for white

    Edit: I would also move the bio and let’s connect to the bottom of the page

    Edit2: to optimize images if you don’t want to do it manually there’s this plugin called Smush. It takes all your images, creates about 5 copies in different sizes and serves the optimal size depending on the size of the screen

  3. Use your domain name for the email contact. If you prefer to use use gmail, just create a forwarding address. This is free and comes with your shared hosting (looks like you’re using Hostinger).

  4. Designer instead of desiner. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)

    Looks good.

  5. A few pointers, make the hero section fit the screen height exactly i.e 100vh, on the nav buttons consider changing the font color rather on hover rather than the background color, remove the border from the first 3 fields of the contact me form so that it matches the last field and increase the size of the submit button

  6. Your site opens with a giant slide show that is problematic at best. First, slide shows generally don’t work. Most users don’t bother to go through all of the slides so anything other than the first slide is waste. It just slows down your site.

    In addition to that, you’re wasting prime real estate because the slideshow doesn’t tell us anything about the site at all. Is this a designer’s site? Is this a sports medicine website? Is this a counseling website? Who knows? You didn’t tell us.

    The image quality is a bit lacking. Probably due to the size of the images and how much they needed to be optimized so they aren’t huge in file size. You also use a lot of animation effects. I would stay away from those. It gives the feeling that the builder just discovered the animate checkbox and they applied it on everything. Motion should be used for a purpose. Using animated backgrounds and moving text for no reason is bad UX.
