Michele,
to start with, I too do love the looks of the site, very easy for the
eye, yet stimulating.
To continue with something helpful, I had a closer look at the copy -
I'm not native English speaker though, so please just ignore any
comments not making sense or being foolish :-)
And beware, I go to fairly fine, even anal points (I'm a tad bored and
there were no major points to pick :-)
On the introduction page, in the first paragraph, the abrupt change from
third person to first feels a bit clumsy. How about along these lines
"Welcome to WizarDev! I'm Michele Foster, a web developer based in
Ottawa, and on this web site I showcase my professional work."
"For more than seven years, I have been designing and developing
professional ..." would IMHO be enough on either Service or Projects,
not necessarily both - could give the visitor spooky deja vu... (oh, and
I'd drop the comma from "...seven years, I have...")
On Services page:
- "not-for-project organizations" should probably be not for profit
- I'd write there "easy to use" instead of "easy-to-use"
- again mixing first and third person: "solutions provided" could be
just "solutions I provide"
Didn't read the resume, as I agree with others the it'd be best left out.
On Privacy Policy page:
- "so that i may respond" needs capital I
- and to my ear "may" indicates some uncertainty, as if you may respond
if you feel like it - I'd write "so that I can respond" (this goes for
the contact page too)
- "A cookie is not set on your machine." - maybe rather: "No cookies are
set..."
The site map is missing the pages for individual projects - I would love
jump directly to them.
There were some smaller points too, but I'm not that bored nor anal :-)
HTH,
.k
