My First Website!!!! Whoo Hoo!

[aaronpass]

I finally took the time to make my website. I think it turned out very well and I am pleased with how it looks. I wanted it simple, not flashy with alot of graphics everywhere. Comments and critique very welcome. Please let me know any changes you think I should make or what you like. Thanks!

First off, your images (I've only viewed landscape so far) are amazing. VERY nice shots.

Butttt, you may want to fix this. Not sure if its just me, but simpleviewer gets cut off.

Thanks Chris! I dont know what is wrong with the simple viewer, it doesnt work in firefox. It works in Safari, Opera, and IE. I will try and figure out what is wrong with it.

[cskn0125]

hmmm, thats weird. I'm in the middle of setting my site up and I use Firefox, so I'll let you know if I find anything that could be the problem.

I just looked at your site again and Websites/advertisements don't work for me, or are they just not completed yet?

[aaronpass]

they are not completed yet.

I'm viewing it under 1680 by 1050 pixels on a 17" screen and the welcome screen seems very tiny. I have to get up close to read it.

Might want to enlarge the fonts.

Pictures size is way tooooooo small (why only the thumbnail view option?)

I thought you wanted a simple, not flashy site! it's defintiely flashy IMO.

I'm using firefox, so sadly your site isn't working nicely :-(

I had the same problem viewing in firefox and the font and size on the opening page were difficult for me to read as well

1680x1050 is a ratio for widescreen monitors - IMPO I would want atleast a 20 -22 in widescreen

Using Firefox too. Doesn't work. Viewing on a 23" and it's too small — can barely read it. Your photos seem to be really great, but they're about the size of a large postage stamp so I can't really say definitively. The website link is broken, you should put in a place holder. I would hire a writer if I were you, and not speak in third person if you're going to market yourself as a single source. Keep your necessary information in the center of your page so that the folks that don't have wide screens don't have to scroll sideways to view it. Perhaps, because of the difficulties viewing it, it's not being represented the way you intended for me. So don't take this to critically.

Like that you're attempting to keep it simple. And I disagree with the member above that suggests it's flashy. A gallery on black is about as simple as it gets. Go to http://roephoto.com and check out his stuff. I think this is where you'd like to be.

I just changed all of the portfolio pages. Please tell me if they are viewable. Thanks!

WAY better. Don't you agree?

Nice shots.

[mchong75]

Much much better. Looking good

[aaronpass]

Text is fixed also to be bigger now. Thanks for the comments!

[Rebel_Yell]

Yeah looks good and its kept simple looks best. Nice landscape pics, Oregon?

[aaronpass]

Yup, all down the coast.

[Ron_M]

Too many links to click to get into your photos. I don't like flash sites, but that's just me.

[deletedpenguin]

I personally, am not a big fan of the text, especially since it's an image, and not adjustable by your browser.

[Matt S]

Love it, really well done, excellent shots

[mjorge]

Hello, is there any chance of you share with us the component you use for the Flash Gallery?

Is it a component, did you download from the web, or did you make it on your own?! It's great.

Aaron,
Nice web site. Pics load fast. The text is a little blurry on my monitor. Maybe font? Looks good.

[EnronRocks]

I have to agree Aaron, very nice website. Clean, Simple, your galleries load fast... Well done.
