it went down last night.

too much interest?

Russian hackers?

Hugh wiped it, like with a cloth.. ;)

Hugh,

Your site is not bad at all for being designed by a retired guy :)

On mobile, the menu is not obvious, therefore a lot of your content will be missed. I recommend going to a single page format and listing all of your content on one page. Very common these days for sites with limited content.

Good luck!

Thanks Motion!

I found that same problem with my iPhone. I'll look into redesigning it.

Hugh R 01-16-2018 07:21 PM

one more time. Single page, I'm working on the email button

I swear I did not look up your arrest record. :D

Hopefully you will not want to do "consulting." You deserve a new life, one with new learning and new adventures. Don't take this time of your life to live in the past.

The DNS server you are using is broken. :cool:

Hugh R 01-16-2018 10:16 PM

just checked, it opened OK for me. Please provide feedback.

Holger 01-16-2018 10:42 PM

Nice!
Now it opens for me!
Nice page Hugh!

But go through it in detail. I am a guy that cringes when I see things like Hugh.rose@...
Use lower case for all letters hugh.rose@... or use Hugh.Rose@...
As it is now it looks like you made the page by using MS Word with autocorrect.
Also, I think there should be a space after a comma. E, H&S. Maybe even better E, H & S

Other things:
Resume'
Deja Vu'

Make sure that you own the images!
The one on the top looks like a stock photo, they tend to get very "nervous" if they don't get paid.

Edit, added: don't underline text! Underlined text is recognized as a link!
I know, links are not underlined anymore on most pages, but still, don't underline text.

But overall a very clean and nice looking page!

I think he was referring to the fact that the (presumably stock-photo) pic you are using for the header shows a laptop with a keyboard in both English and Cyrillic (zoom in to see it more clearly). SmileWavy

In Mother Russia, website hack YOU! :D

Eric Coffey 01-17-2018 03:53 PM

Looks good though. Only critique would be to maybe re-size and inset the city-scape pic a bit. When it goes all the way to the margin, it makes you want to scroll right to "see the rest of the pic".
Maybe do 3-4 separate/smaller square pics with equal spacing.

island911 01-17-2018 04:11 PM

What Eric said. :)

My only critique is that you should lose the PDF resume.

That is, the site is enough. --it sells you as someone that anyone would want to know.

But the PDF resume linked makes you look a bit too old-school (out of touch) and maybe a bit needy.

Hugh R 01-17-2018 06:05 PM

Thanks all, Holder, thanks for the formatting tip, you are 100% correct. Island, I'll think about the PDF thingie, I want Lawyers to be able to click and download a resume'. The images are stock photos from godadday.com so no licensing issues. I may load some industry specific images, but even thought I took the pics, I worked for Disney, so not sure about licensing.

Hugh... I don't have my phone with me at the moment - but make 100% sure it looks really good on mobile. I bet 80% of your traffic will be in that method.

...also - it should be really easy to contact you from the page.

Look at what your "competition" is doing. Be better.
