It's got more punch than the existing version. It is also more intuitive. Good going.

Good design, a bit slow loading and not sure the music fits the content.

| Nice site...great work. The only thing I wasnt crazy about was the music. Maybe a sound off button would be nice? |

Nice site. Very intuative and simple design makes it work well and easy to navigate. I do likethe shutter sound when youclick on a photo, but i don't like the little bleeep that comes at the end. :) I also had a problem view the images when i click on a date on the calender, little thumbs came up.. clicking on those thumbs, nothing happened. Was something supposed to happen?
I turned the music of after a few seconds :) It was cool the first go around, but on the second repeat and when i started to read what you wrote, it got a little in the way of my brain.

Loads extremely slowly.
Now that it has loaded... works fast since i guess it loaded everything at the beginning. Looks ok but when browsing through some of the pictures after going to page 4 and clicking on an image i could no longer load any other images... slight bug perhaps?

nice site... i'm worried about the music... you may actually have to pay royalties to be using that in the manner you are.
some general points
- when i click on your face, it should bring up your bio. it looks like it should do something when the mouse hovers over it, but nothing happens
- i'd recommend updating the bio hover so that the backdrop uses a soft watermark image instead of the flat gray, it needs some more pizazz w/o being overbearing
- the music is annoying now that i've been at your site for > 2 minutes
- dude, you're too cheap, 750$ for weddings? geez, you should double that
- the calendar is a neat idea, howver, clicking on the images that they bring up does nothing :( i want to check out the babe on the right!
- the gray pop-up screen, i'd change the title font. there is a bit much aliasing going on there. a smoother font perhaps, or at least use anti-aliasing or make it a bit crisper would be easier on the eyes. also for the regular content below this, i'd make the font size 1 or 2 pixels smaller, its a big large for the area and makes it look like you're tyring to make up for a lack of text content
otherwise, very professional, miles above most of the photographer sites you come across. i've bookmarked it to remind myself to check it out again in the future.
regards,
d.

Hey, I'm about to buy a template from the same place that this is from.
Link!
Can I ask you some questions?
I'm worried about how customisable it is...
I see you moved the sound on/off widget, was that just a case of drag and drop in Flash?
Are you worried other photographers may end up with an identical looking site?
It bugs the hell out of me that photos are either all portrait or all landscape. I plan to drop my own flash gallery into their template. Is all the source code for their Flash editable?
Can you change fonts, colours, etc?
Did you change the music yourself or did they do that for you?
Some points about your website: yes, music that arrives unnanounced is annoying. I haven't decided what to do about that one yet with these templates. I do prefer the music that was on your original template.
It's not obvious that you have to click on the red things on the left to change photos. That's one of the reasons I didn't consider this template.
The other reason is it takes AGES to load. You could put off a lot of clients. How much quicker can you make it load if you compress it more?
Edit: You're also using their camera logo and your company name is using their white and red motif. I think you should have a stronger individual brand.
