The layout could admittedly use a little work on this site, but i really like some of the features of the design. The icons in the top right are simple and effective, the images have a nice sliding effect on hover, and the boxes of content near the bottom of the page are very well designed.

This single page portfolio does an excellent job of organizing important information into a visual hierarchy that would be effective for potential employers and clients. The design is light and airy, with a nice CSS3 letterpress effect on the headline and a thick white border providing strong contrast between the photos and background.

I really like the letterpressed typography and mixture of soft and bold colors in this site. The brightly colored thumbnails have a nice rounded corner border and turn grayscale when you hover over them. If you stop by the site, be sure to check out the nice graphic in the footer. Another great feature is the "back to top" button that stays with you as you scroll.

The portfolio of Charlie Gentle, a Web Developer working in Nottingham, UK. The dark background contrasts nicely with the large white typography and the white sketchy elements. I am a sucker for side scrolling sites so this one gets a bonus for using this method. Also, as you scroll through the site, the bokeh at the top is animated with a 3D parallax effect that is just excellent.
