| > Create a plugin, extension, or theme. For WHAT? I assume you mean wordpress, but it would be best to say that. > Create safe website update procedures What does that mean? Reads like you ran out of stuff to bullet so you tacked on something which sounded good. I'd also included database technologies in your "What can you work with?" section. When I click on "Featured Work," I get a modal dialog and by far the most important thing on that is the "View Live" button, but it is extremely hard to find since it blends in with the other text on the page. Also that dialog looks unbalanced. You have two things on the left and one thing on the right. It either looks like "Technologies used" is incorrectly positioned OR the title/link are incorrectly positioned. Regardless for such an important dialog it feels really poorly thought out. Overall I hate the modal dialog. Here's some examples of what others have done: http://cleayweb.com.au/
http://www.sarahevansdesign.co.uk/ Both have a Featured Work page. It is better on both than yours. Also why is the Contact Form so tiny? It feels like it was pasted onto the page with no thought to how the rest of the page looks. Like tiny hard to read text boxes are never nice. Go look at Microsoft's Microsoft Account signup page, that's how big textboxes should be. The image behind the "HI, I'M DOMINIC MONROE WEB DEVELOPER" stuff is so fucking huge that's almost all I can see when I load the page. I can just see the top of your heads in that photograph. What resolution are you developing for? And why is that image so important to your product? Is THIS[0] really the most important thing on your site? Not, you know, content...

I've worked with a previous client who was editing the HTML live in production. I helped them create split dev/production areas, and use a git-based workflow so they could try out changes in development, and then migrate them to production safely when they've checked their changes are okay. Again, clarity is going to be attempted here.
A lot of them don't have a "View Live" due to them being API/backend work. So I haven't prioritized. I absolutely love Sarah's work pages. It gives a great amount of detail, but also provides a summary. Daniel's seemed to be a non-modal version of mine, but it greatly restricted the numer of items he could have.
I think I'm going to try pull my portfolio out into data, and generate additional pages for each. Then create a small brief or summary, and do a card-style design, with the images & summary below.
I'll reduce that, I think I got myself all caught up with the big, images used on techy websites. Or make it more relevant, either one.
