Some feedback?

More than serious, I would say professional!

hi simone,

what can I say... more than well done, there's not much to add, great stuff!

however, as much as my opinion may be worth, I feel I can only offer you one piece of constructive criticism:

some of the information contained in your CV, in my opinion, is written with excessive emphasis;

they seem superfluous to me, sometimes counterproductive.

your preparation, professionalism, experience and everything else are doubtless and evident; however, e.g., that you possess "excellent pronunciation and great writing skills", from my point of view, you shouldn't be the one to emphasize it, but rather those who will have to deal with you for professional reasons. and your grades from your studies... as legitimate as it is to highlight them after so much hard work!!!... these too, written this way, sound a bit strange to me. it often happens - and obviously that is not the case here - to read stratospheric CVs with studies, experiences, and abilities at the limit of human potential but then, in the field, a bitter surprise is revealed. in my opinion, citing only your degrees is more than sufficient. perhaps, by writing a few fewer words, those who read your CV will be able to perceive a few more (unwritten) concepts.

how to say... "what is essential is invisible to the eyes"

with much esteem and admiration!

good luck with your work, simone!

The site is very beautiful, modern and responsive.

Only criticism is the menu header which on mobile results in being too invasive. Perhaps you could remove or decrease the wheel to decrease the height.

Thank you both for the feedback.

Terenzio... I hadn't noticed this problem, perhaps because on my Samsung I have a 4K resolution and it didn't bother me; it probably appeared at lower resolutions. Thank you for pointing it out, I corrected it immediately.

Scalaquaranta... I thank you infinitely for the time you dedicated to looking at my work and especially for the criticism, which I find more than constructive!!!

Effectively, I find it very easy to write about others, but when it comes to synthesizing the biography of your own life in the first person, it is much, much more difficult because when you have to make a personal website, you have to try to stay somewhat in the middle and find the balance between being a show-off and being too modest (this is also a problem, even if it might not seem so).

So I will try to be a little more easygoing following your advice. I only disagree with you on one thing, namely regarding mentioning grades/marks. This is something everyone does, both on resumes and in biographies (obviously they do it if it benefits them). It is clear that someone who graduated with a 66 [out of 110] shouldn't mention it on a web portfolio. Perhaps, correct me if I'm wrong, I should use different terminology or write in the third person, or even have someone else write my biography.

The issue of emphasis arose mainly because, in reality, the project I originally wanted to realize for my site was very different... I wanted to make a landing page where you could select which type of profile to view. The idea was to put a photo of my face divided into two parts (one half in black and white) where, upon hovering with the mouse, the text "engineering biography" would appear, and the other part in color where, upon hovering, the text "artistic biography" would appear, which is somewhat what I did on the cover 7 or 8 years ago when I recorded my first album. In this way, it would have been easier to create a biography focused on a single field. Unfortunately, due to a lack of time (since I am preparing for the January concert) and energy being absorbed by work, I had to condense everything into a single page that cost me practically only two days of work but which highlights, apparently, what I would have preferred not to highlight, namely "this person is full of themselves".

Tkeep in mind that I also avoided talking about piano masterclasses, I avoided talking about other projects, I avoided talking about the Sanremo recordings and much other little stuff that would have inflated it excessively.

Having taken into consideration the point you rightly make when you speak of "stratospheric resumes but then on the field", in order to try to demonstrate that it's not just talk, I have made, as you will have seen, a selection of photos that in a sense prove what is written in the biography: concert photos, the photo with Vessicchio, photos of television interviews and photographs from web portals.

So I will try to synthesize further in light of your considerations or perhaps use other terms to try not to give the impression of wanting to emphasize certain things. It goes without saying that when I have the actual time to seriously dedicate myself to my site, I will realize the idea I mentioned above, which should simplify the writing of the two different biographies.

Thank you again for the feedback!

Beautiful! Very user-friendly and clear. In my opinion, you presented yourself with elegance without excesses. The graphics are modern and engaging... although I would remove the snow (personal taste) which I find a tad cliché compared to the professionalism of the entire site. Dividing into sections seems to me to slow down the flow of information. In my opinion, it would lose usability and immediacy.

I checked on my cell phone and now the menu is fine.

I like the homepage very much, it is the strength of the site

Following Nancy's comment, I tried to imagine the homepage without "snow"; I could see moving objects... if you were a chemist, I would suggest putting some atoms in there

Try to elaborate on the concept by translating it into computer science

In general, I waited to comment because I had only viewed it from a smartphone and wanted to see it via PC as well; in effect, on the phone you get more of the idea that it is "dispersive" because, contrary to the average of other sites, it is on a single page.

I find the starting idea very interesting, so I would pursue that goal because it is a good idea and because you would have the site on 3 distinct pages. Nancy's point is true, but it is also true that since they are very different fields (even if with many affinities) ... for those who search and read, perhaps having a vertical reading could also be useful; if the need to integrate skills were strong, perhaps I would structure everything on 4 pages: a master page which would indeed be the one with your face divided into three parts with a brief overview content and a drill down into the 3 "vertical" pages.

I immediately liked the first person (another strength) and I think it is a good idea to align with the practice of indicating the grade when you reach the maximum score (honors or mention). In this regard, compared to the first draft, I noticed that you removed a sentence that read something like (going by memory) "the best of that session," which in effect doesn't communicate much; in fact, if it had been the maximum, you would have included it alongside the others... so perhaps it was a bit self-serving.

Clearly, mine is just a point of view; I have always wondered about the descriptive content of one's professional skills and often well-known people have 10 lines of biography while complete strangers have pages of biography. On one hand, I understand the need to convey as much as possible to someone who doesn't know you, on the other hand, it is also true that too much distorts and often long-winded writing is distrusted; as always, essentiality pays off, and not just in music.

I hope my musings are useful to you :)

Thanks to everyone for the tips. Yes, I am trying to perform a labor limae and when I have time I will lay everything out on the three pages I referred to before.

@nancy

It is not snow, they are particles that show lines of force when they approach each other.

@frank

Thanks for your "elucubrations" ;-)

As I was saying in the previous post, it is very difficult to maintain a middle ground when talking about oneself.

Yes, it's not snow... you can see it from the movements upwards as well, but the effect is that one!

Nancy's smartphone test... indeed, from a PC you lose all its beauty. At least from my browser
