Hello to all-

It's been a very long time since I have posted anything, but I have been busy building my new website! Anywho, please feel free to visit and comment (Good or bad.) Keep in mind, I am not a "pro" when it comes to building websites so go a little easy on me:P Also, some of the galleries are a little shy on content, but I am working to fill those up.

Thanks in advance for taking the time out of your "DPC'ing" to browse and, hopefully, enjoy!

John,

I really like it. Simple, functional and loads fast. I like the variety of the types of galleries and once you get them with more photos it should work well.

Nice job.

I'm usually not a fan of black backgrounds, but yours looks nice. I'm also pretty keen on the font you used, and I like how you put the page titles running down the left side. Simple and functional as

Thanks

taddzilla and

oscarthepigI appreciate the feedback. I am glad to hear that it loads fast, I was a little worried with the amount of content in some of the galleries. I was aiming for simple, and yet hoping it wasn't to simple. I just wanted to keep it basic.

make the menu options bigger and more central. They're too small to locate easily and are the most important thigns.

I like the pics, easy to navigate, does the job. Not sure about the thumbnail over the 'modeling' section though, she looks a bit drunk to me.

Agree with the comments above.

In addition, suggest thinking about the screen resolution you're targeting. Standard today is 1024x768 and up. At 1024x768, your "photographer page is cut off slightly forcing a scroll to see it all. And your photo pages require scrolling to see all the images you display. My personal preference is not to have to scroll, but maybe I'm alone in that. Something to think about.

Thank you, this was a very helpful comment. I don't mind so much if a user needs to scroll vert., but I don't want anyone to have to scroll Horz.
