Hey guys.

It would be a waste not to ask for your professional opinions on this site.
I've created it in a hurry to display some of my work on the internet, but
it's definitely a work-in-progress.

At present there is very little actual information to be found on it, except
one little thing of text.
I'm pleased with the introduction, but not too sure about the main site. I
think the navigation is pretty funky, though not as expandable and flexible
as I may want. Also the work on display cannot be viewed most effectively.

Oh well. I'm sure I want too much, but any opinion on this project is
appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Tiemen

Ps. I'm searching for some simple (not exploited) sort of guestbook system
in javascript/similar to stick under the site, enabling visitors to drop a
line. Does anyone know where to get such script?

i really like the concept. the execution may need a little more work.
the intro is very cool.
the navigation is a little to invisible. most of the time i really dont know if i am clicking on a
section of the site or a portfolio example. when i do take the chance and click, the background
fills with the image but is still obscurred buy the navigation. I really felt like it was hard to
see your work as it was always behind something else.
not sure if the sides of the cubes should be active - that was confusing to me.
The cube in lower left - the one that moves higher on rollOver, need a text opo up that tells user
what they might be clicking on.
I think the navigation is fine conceptually, it just doesnt do a great job of showcasing your great
work. would be cool if there was a way you could have the navigation off to the side more, and have
your work updated in the middle of the site, unobstructed from our view.

nit picky thing: the html tiled background doesnt work for me - makes the site feel claustrophobic -
but that's just me - i like sites that are not framed and feel more vast and open. personal
preference - thats all.

otherwise - very cool - keep going.

I agree on your every point. New background is in the making, lighter, less
in your face, cube motive.
Altough the to do list is long enough now, it can still get longer!

Thanks for your opinion,
Tiemen

"to do" lists are always long (for me anyway) - my site is never finished and it's a constant push
to get stuff updated before changing my mind again :)
