First Attempt at Website
Discussion
Just looking for criticism from the people that know!
I've been playing around this week (between Lem-sips and boxes of tissues) with "My First Website".
Of course, and probably like most people, I assumed it would be easy.
Well technically, that's true.
I started out with clear objectives, but at the end of the day I am not sure that it's all going in the right direction! And it's starting to seem like I'm going round in circles with the bits I'm changing!
Objective 1: It's got to reflect what I can do - therefore it's a sort of CV or must contain my CV
Objective 2: It must distinguish me as being someone professional and with an eye for detail (when I've finally ironed out any grammar and smelling pistakes!
)
Objective 3: It must be able to re-inforce any USP I can bring to a potential client by showing I have a commercial sense as well as a compliant one (therefore it should be "updateable" with some comment on current topics
Objective 4: It must not give away too much (it's a teaser not a do-it-yourself kit for someone who wants my ideas but won't pay) - and I don't want to give away too much to any potential identity thieves either (hence I've reined back some CV details)
Anybody prepared to give me any thoughts?

Ah - yes, I thought I should have some sort of "strap line" - but I think a) it's too big and b) you're right it blends in to the background!

The mini-CV has been bugging me since I first pasted it in. I've just realised that I probably need to put it in a table so that I can get the layout under control - Doh! why didn't I think about that before!!! See - you guys are already sparking me to think about it better! Cheers
I was wondering about images. I am contemplating just a few small ones, not too OTT, and I keep weeding out anything "personal" that crops up, because obviously it could have a detrimental effect on the image (I had to be strong and remove my desire to add in a link to PH, too!

....I don't think I follow, yet? 
PetrolTed said:Oh - OK. Thought you were referring to "Butterworth's" Books on Screen for a moment.....
Just a random tangent I was on
Yeah - I am getting a bit tired of that opening cr@p too. It seemed, as they say, like a good idea at the time!
Thanks, people! I feel inspired to work on!
