Since your website fails to scale down to fit on mobile devices, yet claims to have mobile apps in the portfolio, one has to wonder how many other oversights the developer has failed to consider. The failure to target the vast emerging mobile audience is inexcusable within today's context.

I didn't want to just down vote this without an explanation:

My father is a plumber, a very good one in fact, yet his house has some of the worst plumbing you'll ever see. Ever heard the phrase "The cobler's son goes barefoot"? It applies to almost every industry.

When you're good at what you do, you're too busy earning a living to apply your trade to your own life. As long as ashraful's websites that are meant to be responsive work on mobile devices what's the problem if his portfolio doesn't?

And while I'm spouting old-timey phrases, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth"

If you're complaining about something free, you are not the target market.

Also, mobile apps and websites designed for mobile devices are two separate things entirely.
