    Nice and simple, but I kept looking for a way to navigate back to the front / projects page that didn't involve the browser's back button.

    I also think the spacing after the subheads should be the same as that between paragraphs. Right now they look too tight with the rest of the copy. Oh, and a narrower width for the text may make it easier to read.

    Otherwise this looks great and your case studies have lots of detail.

    Looks legit. Nice work. Did you hand-code this bad boy or use a static site generator?

    I find myself wanting to click on the thumbnail images on the home page.

      Glenny! Hello! Yeah I hand coded it!

      With the links, there appears to be a small amount of regression there amidst a flurry of updates!

      I'll fix them this evening after work.

      In the mean time, you can click the titles to get to the case studies!

    Nice site, but also nice one with Post's DigitalID. It's a nice product which I've used a couple of times now.

    On mobile, the white text gets clipped by the skewed background. Otherwise it's quite clean.

    Hi TJ,

    Your site looks great! BTW, we are both Aussies and have 20 mutual connections on LinkedIn!

    Really nice site overall.

    1. Dont refer to yourself in third person.
    2. The 1 column layout seems kind of odd. Could you stack the projects in a 2x2 grid?
    3. The keylearning/showcasing design style seems out of place with the rest of the site

    Apart from that, it's really good. Nice work.

      Thanks Todd! I'll make those tweaks!

        No worries, try setting your line height to:

        line-height: 1.82em;

        It's your text size * the golden ratio - this is an easy way to almost always make your line heights perfect. Yours are slightly too tight.

    Weird, can't seem to add a description, so I've commented instead.

    This is my personal site that I've recently updated! Let me know what you think guys!

    If you think I would be a good fit at your company, please get in touch! I'd love to chat!

    Is it intentional that the project names don't left align with thumbnails on the front page?

      Hey Ken! Required only for hover effects, but since that's not a thing on mobile, I've dropped the hover effect on mobile and aligned it flush with the image.
