Here are some ideas that I came up with~

A tribute to side-scrollers:
I was thinking about games and suddenly this idea popped into my head. Why not do a website based on side-scrollers? From the classic Mario to Braid and Odinsphere. Side-scrollers are just fun!

But then there’s the technical side to every idea when it comes to websites!! Functionality? I was reading what forums have to say about side-scroll websites here what someone said. “A lot of people are not big fans of the horizontal scrollbar… some people probably wont notice it and will miss the content.”

Hmmmm so is it a good or bad idea to do a side-scroller for a portfolio website?
To answer that I have to ask myself some questions regarding my site.

Main point of the site:
To display my portfolio in an simple and elegant manner in which people will enjoy browsing it. End result that I want is to get hired!!!

What is going to be in the site? :
Information about me, show reel (video), portfolio (mainly images).

Which side is the site leaning more towards to? Functionality or esthetics?
I would like to say esthetics because it’s more fun… But in the end this site is made for a purpose and is not an experimental site.

Okay here are some side-scrolling websites.
- http://www.sursly.com/
- http://graphictherapy.com/
- http://www.thehorizontalway.com/

After looking at the sites, I’m leaning towards not doing a side-scrolling website. Main reason being that the scroll doesn’t work when it not vertical. BUT!!! Sursly.com shows us that it’s possible to have the scroll work with the horizontal scroll…

Clean and simple:
So if I decide not to do a side-scrolling website then I think I’ll go for the simple style.
Simple & clean that get’s your point across.
Who said simple can’t be cool and funky!! Okay it’s going to be hard to think up of something good but I’ll try my best!!! Wish me luck!
