      @adiba @jakecrowe I have taken out the "My work" section in this update! I didn't delete the page itself just in case for a specific job I need to link to one of those galleries, but the link is no longer in my menu because it's not meant for regular visitors. I think I'll try to hide those pages a bit better!

          Your website looks very polished and clear! I think you've done a great job with it, and if there's one small thing I could suggest, it would be moving the About section tab all the way to the right, so the leftmost tab is Home and then Illustration, then Books and Projects, and finally About, followed by Contact. This order makes me more likely to click on your illustration work first, which I think is what you want potential clients to do too!

          You did a wonderful job and I particularly like how clear the hierarchy is clear throughout your sections, as well as the way you used your limited color palette!

            @Alicja-W That's a great idea, and is such a simple fix! Thanks for the suggestion, Alicja!

              Looking great! Love the design. Also recently removed the blog section from my site.

                @reddprime Yeah I initially thought it looked really "cool and professional", like "real website". Turns out it's unnecessary noise and the lone 3 blog posts looked sad and lonely hahaha!

                    @Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson Thank you Judy!

                    And thank you so much everyone for the suggestions! I changed my "Children illustration" section for just "Illustration", moved it before my About section, and optimized my header images. I do feel that it's much better now, so thank you everyone so so so much! People here always have the best advice πŸ™‚ ❀

                      I’m late to the comments here...but I echo what has been said. It’s easy to navigate and the website is very clean and focused. Great updates!

                        I love your work, @NessIllustration and I love the rotating headers. I happened to click when you had a kind of adult 'homecoming' time image of maybe two travelers reunited? It was so different from your usual kid-lit style that I thought I was on a different site. I'm not sure about that piece in the the header because it is so distinctly different in tone and subject matter. Otherwise, I love the simplicity of the site, and might point you toward using sans serif fonts throughout (rather than serif up top and sans at the bottom). Best of luck!
