I changed the main font of my website from Segoe UI to Courier. I'm not overly sure why, I think I just fancied a change, and I like it.
The menu bar has changed, and has some different main tab headers.
The home screen picture has changed, from a photo of myself to an example of my work. I think this just adds in an element of curiosity, making the audience more likely to look through the rest of my work.
The 'about' section is new. I think this is important so that people can connect with you as a person, and not just see the work you produce.
I have condensed the 'year 1' and 'year 2' into one tab. I have also taken out some of my university work that I'm not so keen on, and that didn't really flow with the rest of the site. I don't want there to be loads of work, as I would rather people look through the whole website. I have also changed the titles, from whatever the module was called, to something more exciting.
The 'contact' section is also very important and I can't believe I hadn't put it in before. This page now contains a direct way of emailing me via the website, my contact details, links to my social networks and a picture of me.
I have tried to add little descriptions to each page, to give viewers some context about the work.
The way the audience views the photographs has changed (again). Using the 'photo gallery' option crops your pictures horizontally to either a rectangle or square, and sometimes makes them blurry (don't ask me why). It also makes them relatively small on the page. I decided to go for a slideshow - as this is also a feature many professionals use. As you can see, there are thumbnails on the left, and a title at the bottom. You can play and pause the slideshow with controls in the top left corner of the photograph as and when you want to.
