Hi Kathy,
Nice re-do. That is one of my favorite themes.
A couple things:
1. Why is the link under your copyright logo pointing to the gantry-framework site? BTW, where is your copyright notice?
2. Utilize the Joomla SEO Settings to remove the "index.php" in the site URL. Plus, you can also use other components to write the URLs better (such as sh404SEF) and to get rid of the item/category numbers in the URLs.
3. You can get the site name in the browser tab instead of "Home" by going into the Menu Manager / MainMenu, and click the Home item, and then change the Browser Page Title field in the Page Display Options.
I hope this helps. Keep up the good work. -

I won’t talk about the things I like about your site (which I like a lot) … just the things I don’t like (mostly a matter of my personal taste)
1. I’m not fan of oblique bracket in the Logo. That just looks wrong to me.
2. I don’t like the placement of the „contact me“ button on the frontpage and how it relates to text above and the „contact me“ in the footer. And why does this one have a gradient?
3. the testimonials sprocket-headlines-list lacks a bit of contrast (at least on my Mac)
4. sprocket-headlines-list could need a little padding-top & bottom
5. while the text in sprocket-headlines-list on the frontpage needs more room in my opinion … the footer feels too much spaced out. And why does the big logo repeat here. I can already see the fixed version on top? (... and a small version below)
6. the read-more-buttons in the blog and the portfolio seem to be too big (too much padding) for such a „light“ site.
7. the read-more-buttons on the blog has rounded corners … the one in the portfolio (mosaic) not … I would design them the same way. On the portfolio-page you have 3 button types: Big radius in the tags on top, small radius in the tags below and no radius at all on the read-more.

Hi Henning! Thank you for those thoughtful ideas. I think a lot of them went through my mind too as I was putting things together. My attention has been divided....I will take another look when I get a chance!
It is truly an honor to get your feedback, and I really appreciate it.
You all are the best. - Kathy
