This is my first time doing a website, either way, before I get too far in to it i'd like some opinions...I'm looking in to getting my own domain name since freewebs does not look proffesional...

Thanks for looking :)

looks solid. Loads quick, organized, colors blend well with each other.

Great, thanks for looking...I have changed the headings a few times, just specially with portraits and family portraits...

Nice looking site. Just a couple of thoughts.

1. Get rid of the page hit counter. I hate them (that's just me though)
2. And in the long run, move it off freewebs, I'm not sure how reliable they are, but a paid for web host is reasonably cheap if you will be using it for a business.

Nice looking site though. Very functional!

Thanks

Also i would get a paid domain webspace and setup email addresses, this looks more professional :)

Hit GoDaddy up, you can get a good deal on webhosting and domains.

A domain such as a .com .net or any of those will look more professional. If you are using FreeWebs for the designing tool, GoDaddy offers "Website Tonight" which is basically the same, minus ads, and more themes.

Also, I don't recommend sharing a MySpace, FaceBook, Xanga, or any blog/social site with clients. It shows too much of your personal life in some situations, and could cost you a client.

I like the look of it, and the setup. All in all, very good job.

If you want site statistics, look into Google Analytics instead of free hit counters

Also the no right-click script is annoying and rather unprofessional, if somebody really wants your images not being able to right click isn't going to stop them

The only other thing is the gallery bit's color (white) doesn't jive with the rest of the site, it's like a big white box in an otherwise nice site

Looks good though
