I wanted some feedback on my website, so a few weeks ago I posted in the HOW Forum and the Textpattern Forum. I’ve posted in a forum maybe once or twice before, I don’t like them. I’m pretty thick-skinned when it comes to criticism—I’m harder on myself than anyone ever could be—so I was ready. It was disappointing because I didn’t get many responses and most people commented on my work, not the site. Here are a few of the comments.

I didn’t know what to make of it, then I saw Printer F*ckups. Kept me flipping pages….

Very nice site, love your art! Added to TXP Gallery :)

In the “about” section, try to keep that professional, not personal. Don’t tell us about dropping out of high school and floundering around for years. Tell me what your skills are and how you can benefit a company. You can talk about your cat and mayonnaise once you get the job.

This person was vary innovative with her/his spelling, must be imbedded in her/his vary soul.

Your style is vary distinct, and as can be seen from your fine art, it appears to be imbedded in your vary soul. You do it well though and anyone who needs that style will surely consider your services. The down side is that you may not have broad range appeal which could limit your potential market. That may not be a bad thing, maybe you only want to work within a certain market, it certainly looks that way. What should be a concern however, is that you don’t appear to be innovative. Having only one style of expression your method of persuasion will always be dated, and consequently less effective.
