I specifically like your tips regarding layout - I can see you have spent a lot of time on this personally and it definitely shows in your site!


Thanks, Sarai. I've been an amateur web designer for the latter half of my life. Of late, I've spent many, many nights studying the portfolios of the best active web designers and reading up online marketing etc. I often regret not having much opportunity to put the skills and knowledge into practice. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be a normal professional web designer.

As for the passport picture you're planning to take, you definitely need a stethoscope there, as cliché as it is. Put it around your neck or in your pocket, but it's gotta be there unless you have an ethical reason to avoid using one outside of strict medical practice. I'd probably want glasses with that too, even if you normally wear contacts or have perfect sight. In fact, I'd likely go for a lab coat too. A lab coat (not buttoned up to cover your shirt, though), with a visible stethoscope in its pocket, and glasses on your forehead. You've earned all of it.

Impressive Jul 27, 2013

Apart from a little typo at the bottom of your welcome page (Detusch instead of Deutsch) you come across as a very clever and qualified person.

As for design, I think others have given much more valuable advice than I can but you have done a pretty good job.

3 languages on 1 page - not great for search engines ... Jul 28, 2013

Hi Sarai, I would just add that if you want to attract direct clients to your website via search engines then having three languages on the same page is a big no no. If you just intend to point them to your site from Proz or other websites then it's fine

Good luck!
