AlfredFox.com Redesign

[afox]

I've redesigned my personal blog / portfolio website and would like some feedback.

While my old website seemed to get a fairly positive review from my clients I often heard it was far too dark and cluttered. Which didn't make it very easy to read my long winded blog posts about how I'm king of the universe. Understandable... so I made some changes.

New Site: Website Design by Alfred Fox

My biggest goal was to keep all of the same content but clean it all up, make it easier on the eyes and easier to follow along.

Looks really good, good choice of greys I don't like solid black sites. I'm a fan!

I like the look and feel.. nice revamp without totally eliminating your old branding efforts.

The only thing that bothers me slightly is the a:hover on the right side menu.. covers the icon images you have in there.

This is much cleaner. I think it's a shame that the visual cut elements at the base of you page are not in same way echoed at the top. Not to the extreme but it's a interesting feature and looks bizarre when everything above is so fixed..

I think you accomplished this! Looks great, and it does seem to be easier to follow, read, and navigate.

:) I thought that was rather clever of me. The whole transparency thing. I'll put some more thought into it.

yeah I liked the transparency... you might just stick those icons ion their own div. That would take care of the whole thing in one quick fix.
