Hi all,

I would like to hear some feedback on my website, which I finished today (finally!). I also have the option to order prints from the site. If you find any problems with it, please let me know - I've only tested this on IE7 and Firefox 2.

Please comment on anything you wish, including navigation, pricing, or even just the photos themselves!

Thanks for looking,

Jonathan

A nice 'clean' look to your site Jonathan. I'm not an expert on web design in any way, but I know what appeals to me. Could I suggest that some aspects of the text come paint you as an amateur. "I'm the guy..." and "I've been experimenting..." don't project an image of a professional, talented (which you are) photographer. I suggest using text that is more professional - avoid 'matesy' text, that downrates you. Imagine if your dentist advertised in such a way!:D

I have to be honest, I dont get abstract so they do nothing for me. But photo 3930 has some crazy amounts of detail. Very nicely done on the others as well. I like them.

Imagine if your dentist advertised his or her wares in such a fashion.... DO like your site, tho'!

Thanks for the comments. I partially agree with you about the professionalism aspect, but I'm never good at describing myself, so I had a bit of trouble deciding on what to put there. I'll probably change it once I think of something better to say. I'm glad you like the site.

Nice clean simple site. I would say you need to look toward the future though and how well your design will work with more images. I'd say you have space for potentially 4 more 'slabs' for the galleries before you run out of space.

That said I do like it :) Oh and get it added to your signature ;)

That shouldn't be a problem at all. I don't intend to add any more unique galleries, and if I do, it's really easy to change the layout with the script I'm using.

What script is that? I love your design.

Thanks. I used easyphpalbum ( http://www.mywebmymail.com/ ), although I made a couple small modifications to the code.

I like the layout of the site very nice and clean. Look forward to visting again if you add any more photos as it seems a bit bare at the monent, to me.

I really like the layout of the site, it's very clean and it loads quickly.

Just curious, do you ever sell any of your prints from the site? As in bought online, not locally?
