JabariHolloway

- ok, great. I'll work on making the about page more bold. I prefer the "Hi, I'm Jabari" over the "JabariHolloway.com" - it's friendlier and people already know they're at the website if they've come that far so I don't need to reiterate where they are!

- when it comes to viewing text, black on opaque white doesn't cause confusion and looks neat. In this case, if I went with opaque white, people wouldn't be able to see the stars in the background, which would detract from the sense of outer space the website conveys

- I like the idea of using separators - I'll add them :)

- perhaps this is truly a bug because the menu does have "position: fixed" set. Are you viewing the website on a large monitor, say 24-inch or 27-inch?

Thanks again anotheryou!

Thanks a lot for your feedback anotheryou!

-I like the way the outlined buttons with transparent background look

-I'll try your subtle shadow suggestion

-Do you absolutely think I need a call-to-action button on the about screen? Do you think adding Achievements and Stories links respectively to the "Achievements" and "Stories" text within the about screen would work well?

-While the reddish text looks off, it doesn't stand out well with black, can't be seen with white (based upon the current background color of the about screen) and looks unappealing with my highlight color blue. I agree with you on sticking to a color palette, but doing so didn't work well in this case

-Thanks, I wrote my own pagination algorithm :). I'll add a back button that's always visible

-Do you know a way of making the achievements and stories menu points visually different without the page appearing too busy?

-I'll try the "ease-out" instead of "ease"

-Cool suggestion! I'll keep it in mind for a future design of the site!

-The bottom menu moves up while hovering over a story, which happens incidentally if the mouse intersects a page while scrolling. I'm not sure how to keep the hover effect and disable it while scrolling

Thanks again for your help!

Great insight and great suggestions! I really like the idea of linking the achievements and stories text on the about me to their respective views! Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback dzolvd!

I checked out LetsEncrypt and it looks like just what I've been looking for! I've got another website I'm working on (an in-person Continuing Education platform), which will also need https so this is a great solution! Thanks!

I can see how moving from the about me window to the achievements and stories links is unintuitive. Which part is most unintuitive: Knowing to close the about me window? Knowing to click the achievements button or stories button? Or that clicking either button reveals the achievements or stories links, respectively? The problem I'm trying to solve here is to have some introduction to the site as well as a self-image shown immediately to 1. Let people know what the site is about when they first arrive and 2. Connect the real-world me with the virtual me. I believe the about me window does that, but it also seems to cause confusion in how to navigate the site. What are your thoughts?

Oh yeah, you called it - when both the achievements and stories links are shown at the same time, the page looks too busy. Also, on mobile the achievements and stories links do overlap.

Thanks again for your help!
