I wanted to know your opinions on my new site. I don't have all my pictures up yet, but it's getting there. I am thinking about getting my own "site" so my address doesn't have smugmug in it. I would really love to know what you think about the look, feel, etc.

PS whoops I spelled opinions wrong in my title - can't fix it :)

Excellent photos. Site looks nice. Easy to navigate. The one criticism would be that there's not enough information on the site... something about you... doesn't have to be a lot, but something that can allow the visitor to make a connection with you. Also, a "Contact" page wouldn't go astray. Yes, there's an email address and phone number on the bottom of all pages, but if I've learned one thing from my years of web design/development, you average web user will look for a "Contact" page at the top with all the other links.

I think your site looks great and so do your photos. You obviously have a good eye for this photo stuff. :D The site could use a few minor tweaks though. For instance, vlado was right about the Contact page. A Contact page would give you a more professional look as well as protect your email account from spam. Another example would be your Pricing page. It would look much cleaner as an HTML-only page instead of a normal gallery.

If you want help with any of the customization stuff, feel free to PM me.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my site! I sent you a PM Mick because I totally agree with you, but couldn't figure out how to fix those problems.
