critique my site

[austincabot]

I've only been shooting for less than a year and I'm a working college student, so i don't get much time to work on personal stuff. I had time this weekend to redo my website -

Tell me what you think. Any comments will be taken into consideration. Thanks.

Lookin' good, Austin. Easy to follow. It's probably just my machine her at work, but it seems the photos load slow. Worth the wait though.

images load slowly too at my pc - try to set lower res or higher compression...

Like Your design - everything looks ok to me. Easy to navigate, not messed with amount of graphics and other stuff. The thing I would change is gallery. I would try to connect it with site design - simpleviewer does not fit there.

site looks good, images are very good, i would lose the first index page and make it go straight to the home page IMO.

I had a quick look but it was taking so long for things to load I gave up unfortunately. I'll try again later as it could have just been a server slow-down as it happens on my site every now and again.

Lose that first index page for sure, they serve no purpose other than to make the viewer do one more click than is needed. Website navigation should be all about having as few clicks as possible to get round, the easier it is the more chance there is of keeping your viewers interested :)

It's slow for you because it knows you own a nikon. :lol: I've been hearing different replies on server speed - some say its fast, while others say it's slow.

Looks very nice, the galleries do have a different look to the rest of the site but its no biggie. I think your Urban photos are great, keep it up :)

Nice clean site and good photos. The site was a little slow to load, but not the pictures.
