Interim Critique

This went well though there were a few minor adjustments I needed to make. My branding worked well and represented me and my work well. The navigation was said to be simple and clear and the logo sat well in the top right hand corner.

Things I need to think about:

1) Text too greenà use grey for copy text instead?

2) Move contact up so more visible and easy to navigate.

3) In white space under logo have static bio
