That’s right folks, I’m finally moving away from my old business website [
Inter-Tech] and onto a professional online portfolio. I’ve been planning this move since 3rd quarter of last year. I started official development on the site late last year, and after many alpha iterations, I finally have a beta version of the site ready.
Now I know that the word beta is thrown around quite a lot these days, so let me explain the difference between alpha and beta for you. Alpha [in terms of websites] means that a site has the initial idea in place, but not much else. The site is really up for testing of the idea in the earliest of stages to get feedback and ensure that changes can happen easily. Most true Alpha sites go through major changes in the Alpha stage. Beta means that a site has settled upon a general look and feel, but hasn’t quite worked out the smaller kinks. Most of the site should be functional, but not everything is yet in place. No major changes should really take place in the Beta phase.
So, now that we have that out of the way dear readers, let’s get on with it.
Announcing the professional portfolio for John Wayne Hill -
http://www.johnwaynehill.com.
This site is intended to show my talents as a designer, to help me get into a top graduate school for HCI/d, and to show my work to potential employers and clients. The site is still in Beta version. Not all of the content is yet in place, and there are some kinks to be worked out with Internet Explorer. Don’t worry you IE fans, I’m not leaving you out, it’s just harder for me to test in IE considering I don’t own windows. Upon final release of the site all major browsers will be officially supported.
Please send me all of your comments, praise, hatred, and laughter. Any feedback on my work is super valuable to me, even if that feedback is one word long. Thanks for looking, thanks for reading, and thanks for your support!
