Your page is way too tall for the amount of information you put. And the most important stuff is at the bottom.

Thanks for the feedback.

I was going for the "narrative" style design for this, I intentionally didn't put all the information "above the fold" like the original site did:

In my not-a-good-designer opinion, Trey's page makes a mistake with the high-contrast, heavily shadowed photo and the darkness of the background.

UX people should step in to correct me if needed: to me it feels that a human face trumps about everything else on a webpage; the attention shoots to it and our sensibilities adjust to the lighting on the face. That leaves me sitting in a small dark box looking out of a round hole, and the lighting/contrast information from the coffee video gets rejected as incoherent.

It was actually quite interesting to have the two of them to compare.

I hope you have taken him up on his offer of coffee! It would be the gentlemanly thing to do.

I prefer that original website. It makes it much clearer what's going on.

I prefer Miles' "narrative" style. :)
