Hi Aiden,

Once I've seen your portfolio website in addition to some of the work you showcase there and I have to be honest here it's so inspiring, beautiful, and visually aesthetic. I was wondering about the process you take when building those websites because I'm currently having difficulties building my own portfolio website. I would love if you could share some tips that could help me and other possibly ;)

Best Regards,

Shay

Looks Fantastic, I only want to say some off things. Where Is your home, I mean nice picture of your home, but where is it? And when showing off your portfolio, there's a lot of blank space that looks better when you organize, fix it. And for playing a game, how do I know if I won or not? Please, it seems great

Thanks! I will defensively add to the portfolio section, I will inform the user who won the game. The idea behind the home screen was to show off images from my travel while I pre-lode the rest of the pages to make my site faster, but it is a bit odd so I might convert it to a one page site.

Well, I think that whatever you choose is best, but I really enjoyed the photos on the home screen that you showed. You should really showcase your work on the treehouse show, if you know what that is( .The treehouse show can show your portfolio to everyone on treehouse ). Have fun

You've got a nicely laid out landing page for your portfolio. I like that the background image changes each time someone visits the page. It's well organized and easy to navigate which makes it a good viewing experience for users. The portfolio examples are also quite nice. It looks like you took some quality time to put these projects together. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, so I want to show off some pictures that I took, I want about 20 to make sure that each visit will be unique, but It takes a lot of time to optimize images (Im not a photographer so its a pain).I also had more sections like blog and contact, but after being honest with my self I decided to get rid of blog ans I wont keep it up to date, and contact can be simplified down to my email and number on each page. One thing that im still thinking about is converting it all to a one pager, will be easy to do but it will eliminate molecularity so I wont be able to add in a services page if I will feel like it.
