I'm not good with css. Care to elaborate whats wrong so I might be able to fix the issue? There was an issue on Google Chrome (and not Firefox/IE) but I thought I fixed it.

My advice would be to have a few more screenshots on the individual pages and move the videos down below. The fewer clicks and the faster I can see the content, the better. If I like what I see, then I'll watch the video, but catch my eye with fast loading still images first.

Thanks. Perhaps maybe I should move the "cover" photos to where the youtube videos are, have the text below them, more pictures, and lastly the videos at the bottom?

Sry wrote something quickly before going to bed. I was just referring to the text not being indented.

The design is OK and I am not a CSS expert either but maybe you want to have another site as a design reference to get some ideas? Or if you know how to use Photoshop, design your website there first and then try to achieve that in HTML5/CSS.

I would go with some simple modern design, obviously you like Orange and Green as your key colors, just build it around some shades of Gray (White Background). Making your work pop out more.

Yeah, that sounds good. As a general rule of thumb, put yourself in the place of the guy reading your resume and portfolio. Imagine he has 300 submissions to get through today. You want your work to be as accessible to that guy's microscopic amount of patience as possible.

Pro-tip:

You design a website in InDesign, not Photoshop. That is actually one of the former's intended uses, and it is a lot easier. Use Photoshop for content you want in the website.

I was referring to a rough sketch, not directly exporting a website from PS into HTML.

Well then, that works. Personally, I think trying to use the computer for a rough sketch is like trying to use a Formula 1 racer to get yourself to work because a pencil and paper are adequate but if you've got a tablet, PS is doable.
