Thank you

You've got some very nice images, but you hit many of the "top 10 complaints about web sites"

1. Why the extraneous entry page?
2. No thanks, my popup blocker is there for a good reason
3. Why are you advertising that you can't make your site work with my smaller screen?
4. ... and then the music started

I actually like it. I have a few friend who use the similar layout.

This is just me, but you hit all my negative buttons...

- Music... Strike 1. I was listening to the radio over the internet and I didn't appreciate that being interrupted. I think that's more common than many people realize.

- Over use of flash... Strike 2.

- Over use of slideshows... Strike 3. I found a way to stop the slideshows if I wanted to ponder a specific picture, but I had to find it and in the mean time I felt like I was stuck watching a slideshow whether I wanted to, or not. I would rather have "prev/next" buttons obvious and make the choice myself at my own pace.

- On the other hand... Loved your Bio. I thought the 10 things about you were a nice snippet into your personality and a great way to "humanize" the site. It's easy for sites to feel too sterile and you did a good job of combating that, I think.

- I also like the colors and layout that you chose, though the splash page was unnecessary.

My only complaint is the music, a bit loud. But then again, you can just turn your volume down :)

I really love your site, I like how each page is a different color scheme, and you have some amazing photos. I really like it, I am a sucker for flash. Not sure why not many people like flash now'a'days, but I really do love all flash sites.

Yep.

It really does seem to be a love/hate thing with not many people in between.

The lead page is a different colour and overall appearance than the main page and the flash/resolution information is superfluous.

Why only one photo there? As it stands you're better off just removing the lead page because it looks so tacky compared to the main website.

I can't really criticize your flash template because it's functional, save that you're using a nearly identical layout to the gods know how many other photography sites. They all blend together in the end.

Looking at your photographic portfolio, I would trim and refine it in certain areas. Some images are simply a cropped version of of other images, and in turn other images are simply the same people in the same scene in slightly different positions. Repetition is a bad thing.

One photo I absolutely loved was the B&W image of the happy couple kissing while everyone else cheered them on. It's absolutely cracking except for the crash barrier. You might crop it down a little.

Change investment to...I don't know, Pricing? Try and give some sample template packages at least because you're wasting space otherwise.

Drop the FAQ section and put the information into your About/Bio page. There's a lot of other superfluous information there that's best dealt with when you sit down with your customer.

Definitely like your galleries section. Who did you purchase the template from?

This is a good comment. I didn't know what "investment" mean until I clicked on it.

Also agree with giving some kind of pricing idea. If I have 2 or more businesses to choose from, I'll always give the one that gives me a price range before I'll even inquire with the other business. With me, the only way the other non-pricing business even gets a chance is if the others end up being too expensive.

It's all subjective and depends on what you like and are happy that the site displays your work and message.

How expensive was the license to play the copyrighted music? :) That one might bite you. There are numerous royalty free music sites on the net and several have some really nice music that you can purchase rights to for a small fee.

Just my preventative 2 cents worth.
