How laggy do you want the site to be?
Designers: YES!

What's the name of the extension that lets you see the name of the font at 4:02 ?
Edit: nevermind, i found it. It's called WhatFont if anyone is interested.

My two favorites are start contrasts to each other:
1) The first one: why? It's simple, it's clean, minimalist design which I like.
2) The sixth one, kuon yagi: I can't imagine the time nor the effort put into this, it's simply stunning. The site is dark themed, to which I'm biased towards, adds an anime feel with it with the moon shrouded with clouds. And the touch scroll. Man the scrolling was so fun and clean and smooth and fast, like cheese dripping from pizza. I was captivated the second I saw it, although I don't have the level of creativity the person, it did blew my mind off.
Based on what I wrote you probably know which I liked the most, 😝.

These look great! But to be fair these are not really portfolios, more like "landing pages", since we don't get to see how the actual work is presented. I think that for a portfolio the actual content is extremely important and we are not getting into that in any of these examples.

I took your advice from last week
and I am going to redesign my portfolio, thanks Gary !

I really hope someone will make some tutorials about: “How to create those kind of website”

If others are close to 10, than Kuon Yagi (11:16) must be a 12!
God damn, what a design.
Beautiful!

Great to see all the things that work well, for a change. This, along with your negative space reviews, is so instructive.

How to create something he likes: animate everything!

I feel like this review goes only so far as to rate the decorative aspects of these portfolios, which all of them are stunning of course. But I think he’s missing on very important aspects of what makes a good portfolio and that is how designers present their work and how they came up with their solutions. I didn’t see him going into any of the project to rate how they do that. So yeah these are a 10 from a UI/animation/aesthetics point of view

Hi, Gary. First allow me to thank you for the amazing content you publish. I've learned a LOT by watching your videos. I also thoroughly enjoy The Negative Space ("TNS") and I make a point to watch every episode, which is always packed with great advice.
Now, in that series (TNS), understanding why you gave a certain site a certain rate is a 'no brainer'. But here, where pages analysed were all so close to a 10, it would have been great to know what prevented you from giving them an actual 10.
For example, you said you "saw nothing wrong with" the first site and you praised its design, typography, white space, illustration and choice of subtle animations but it was still awarded a 9.5. I was left wondering: what was missing? What could have pushed that 9.5 to a real 10? What would you have fixed or somehow improved?
In reviewing Halo Lab, which got a 9.6 rating, you said "I don't like this top part the most"; that gives us a clue to what could be better but, still, sounds a bit vague as it does not pinpoint why you disliked it. Perhaps it was font spacing? Or maybe something else? Without the benefit of experienced eyes like yours, we are left wondering.
About Kuon Yagi's page, from your comments I'd imagine you really liked the animation but since you forgot to rate the site, we sort of have to imagine whether placing it (almost) at the end of the video was random or a way to show your preference.
Alex Coven's portfolio was my least favourite. It doesn't quite appeal to me, load times were dismal, I failed to see coherence between different pages of the site and it didn't work as smoothly on my mobile device as it does on the desktop. But again, because there was no rating assigned, we do not know if in your opinion it was closer to perfection or if was just randomly placed at the end.
It was (yet another) great video, of course, and I am not complaining or anything - heck, that'd be preposterous - but you always say you value feedback so I thought I should mention it. Perhaps, if you ever post another video like this (that'd be awesome!) you could tell us what you'd do to make the sites better or simply just why they did not get a 10.
Thank you for all the amazing free content published and regards from Brazil.

Gary, thank you for this video. Please also evaluate the responsive designs of these websites (mobile + tablet)

Love these videos! I think it might be great if you could put the websites in mobile view to see how they look / perform differently.

This was so much valuable. Thanks for posting.

What a nice content, thank you for sharing it with us!
Keep up the good work!

The sites with overwhelming amounts of animation make for an awful user experience in my opinion. Not accessible either. The "smooth" scroll is the worst. Text that transforms on hover is also something to stay away from. I like the first portfolio the most.
If you are going for a wow-factor on some new product website I get it, however, for sites that are supposed to be informative and useful, I would stay away.

I'm thinking a good series of videos on how to fully code websites like these in the various frontend technologies (vanilla HTML/CSS, bootstrap, materialize, etc) would be awesome. Any chance of doing that? Designing is one thing and seems quite easy to master once you learn the fundamentals and the tools, but actually turning complex designs into working code is something I think a lot of folks struggle with when trying to be a good frontend developer. Would still also love to see videos on coding unique navbars, such as navbars that have logos that go outside of the standard rectangle of the navbar (circular, triangular, etc).
