Feedback on my first wordpress theme

Hey all,

Just finished the Wordpress Theme Development course and my first wordpress theme and wanted to get some feedback from y'all!

I started with the Start Bootstrap - Freelancer theme (http://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/freelancer/). Let me know if you have any constructive criticism!

Here's my finished product: http://benjamingrobertson.com

Hey!!! Congrats :)

Love the site!!! I have a few pieces of feedback:

  • First of all, only had a chance to check on mobile so far
  • The background image could be optimized a bit more to load faster.
  • You might want to add some titles along with your portfolio and maybe add a border or something around the images that gives them some uniformity and ties in the theme
  • I thought maybe you might want to have your services higher on the page?
  • could use some more padding on mobile on the places where it's all text.

Please take this all constructively, the site looks great :)

Thanks so much for you feedback, Zac! I was thinking there were some changes I would make to the mobile, especially the padding like you mentioned. And I like the idea of adding titles to the portfolio items and moving my services higher.

Thanks again for the feedback and for the great course!
