1. AAARG contact form. Get rid of the form please. PUT YOUR EMAIL ON THAT PAGE! Thanks.

2. Put your location, phone number and email at the top of the page.

3. If this is your portfolio to sell your design services, what's up with "blogger entrepreneur"?

4. Please explain what kind of work you specialize in. It may seem obvious to you, but it's not to us. Mobile experience? etc.

5. The examples are too small, and should link to a larger image, not to the actual website (which will change).

In short: right now, I can't tell what kind of work you do, and I can't contact you easily.

I don't mind the contact form personally, I get it that spam sucks and it's an easy way to help prevent _some_ spam. The bigger problem is the field labels being inside the input elements. Once you enter them and put anything the labels go away at which point you no longer have any reference for what was supposed to go in the fields. Also, if js is disabled as it was when I first entered the page you have to erase all the crap in the inputs before you can fill out the form.
Peter, good points -- I'll add the email address with the contact form instead of getting rid of it totally. Going to be adding a case study page that each piece of work links to, that has larger screenshots, more detail and depth on what work was done by myself etc.

Thanks for your input! :D
