Tayib, Overall, it is a nice portfolio. The flow from the top left logo to the "get in touch via email" button works well. A few things stood out at me.

1. Get rid of the Emerson quote. On a smaller display, it hides your contact information.

2. "Spam my inbox" sounds pretty negative. When combined with using a contact form (not how I like to email people) it would prevent me from writing you. Also, you call this email, but it is a contact form.

3. "Write your kickass message here". I'd change this - not because of the swearing but... "kickass"? I like the enthusiasm but I do not have a kickass message for you. Keep the enthusiasm, iterate on the message.

4. Keep the contact form but visually integrate my email address into it.

5. You're going to get a lot of comments about your form. I think it is a nice form, one of the better ones I've seen, visually, but some people will find it hard to accept that you have a big focus on user experience if you continue to use it. Not me, but some.



Good points Daniel. Definitely valid - I actually re-considered the "Spam my inbox" tag a lot, and didn't come up with anything better so stuck with it for the time being. I'll definitely be re-thinking that.

Overall, seems to be a big hate towards contact forms -- I don't quite understand why as maybe I want a bit more information to qualify the contact (like info on where they found out about me, or budget)? Just giving an email address doesn't allow for this.
