Hey everyone, I am grading from school soon, and am going about setting up a webpage to showcase some of my work (I am working on a sharp reel as well) Would anyone be willing to critique my design documents, tell me what I can do better, and generally make a gripping and captivating site? Check out Http://greatwavedevelopments.com/demo/ There are lots of documents on the Documentation link Thanks all, please respond to this thread with feedback please, I really value your thoughts.
I apologize for not addressing all the issues, I don't really have much expert advise in the other areas. (just a little in web design).

Your web site is lacking.
The good news is, you've got all the information there, and all the links and such are in working order (so it's a perfectly functioning site, you just need to spice it up).

I'm unsure if this is a portfolio for employment or a display just for show.
If possible, (and this is only my opinion), hire a professional. Notepad is good for starting out, but to impress possible employers, you need a flashy site. (Macromedia Flash spawns easily flashy sites rather quickly).

Whether you do it yourself or hire someone, all you need is improved graphics. Something that catches the eye rather than a white background. Choose a color theme(s). Add a more substantial menu. No one likes to feel like they might drift off into the white vacant abyss while browsing your site. You can at the very least add borders or backgrounds that reflect the themes of your games.

I'm glad you have concrete examples to show on your site, that bumps you up a step on the 'impressed scale'.
Nice, malleable story line in Kingdom of Auspiex Online. Keep it up.

Thanks for your reply! My whole intention was just loading it all up with assets, hopefully makeing all my buttons out of flash, and makeing the index or main menu a flash thing, then everything else gets loaded in HTML, so i can send direct links to people to check stuff out.
So once all of the core content is on it, i was going to devote a large amount of time, doing proper boarders, color palette, and background images.
If anyone has any ideas on colors, or style let me know. i was aiming for the harsh pixellated/pseudo video game look, but i dont know if its played out or not..
And to address your last question, it is a portfolio site, that will showcase my art, and also include my demo reel..

thanks ;)
