Just thought I'd share with you guys the change I made last night on my home page.

I don't want much text on my site, just enough to give my clients an idea of who I am and what I do. I eliminated a couple of pages off the home page and will update the other pages to reflect the same over the next few days.

I also need to figure out how to do things a little different on the news page so it is easier to keep up to date.

Anyway the changes are the rotating images, this will help for those who don't have flash and can't see my gallery. It will at least give them a taste of what I do.

Anyway thoughts or CC are welcome.

Design is very nice, but I have to tell you that accessibility is very low. Search engines do not see any content on your pages, browsers set to images off (like many phone and PDA uses have) see nothing. To see full images requires Flash, no other option is given.

If you do the pages with some tool, at least make sure that you fill out all META fields before exporting to html.

Thanks Pekka.

I guess I should worry about the META data, it would not be that difficult to put it back in. I have all of that data in the individual images as well.

At this point with my photography I am not using the web to search for new clients but more as a place to send people once they know about me.

I did make a decision on the gallery to use flash, I know some won't be able to view it but I've yet to find a non-flash option that I can do that gives me the look and feel I want.

My revenue is mostly from the staff photographer position I have so I don't really have the resources to do my website the "proper" way...if that makes sense?

Thanks for the feedback.
