Looking for Feedback on My New Site

Here's the link: www.hrephoto.com. Any feedback is appreciated: comments, criticism, and nit picks. This is just mainly a place for me to display my photos, and potentially get my name out there. I'm not looking for wedding jobs or anything like that.

Thanks,
Henry

Lose the splash page, does nothing but make the visitor have to click to get to your actual content. Personally I don't like all Flash sites and would like a little more info as in text.

I also wouldn't adversite that you are so young, some people might try and take advantage of that.

It looks like a site of photographs but seems to lack anything that explains what you are aiming to do. Not even the landing page does before you get to the flash bit.

This is just mainly a place for me to display my photos, and potentially get my name out there. I'm not looking for wedding jobs or anything like that. I agree with cdwise in that I don't like the splash page, however I'm going to leave it there to make it easier for search engines to find it.

ummm think you got your wires crossed on that one, splash pages are very bad for search engines.
A search engine looks at your site and currently sees:

ENTER

Thats not a very good indication of what the site is about....
My advice is loose the splash screen

Edit:
Hmm actually if you want your site to be search engine friendly you have a fair amount to do. The main site currently looks like:

This site requires flash. Please visit HERE to download the flash player.

Might be a good advert for adobe but not great for photography...

Haha ok. Do you recommend that I add text to the splash page or get rid of it and do something else?

I would recommend getting rid of it all together.

I would then set up an alternative page for non flash users, this can also be seen by search engines, it doesn't need to be anything nice, it just needs to focus on content really.

Spash pages, especially empty ones like you have will hurt not help your SEO.

I think I might just add some text to the splash page so I don't have to spend more money than I already am. Thanks for the advice.

Went to the web page and it was a bit slow to load and to be honest as a new user visiting the page i was unsure exactly what is the topic or object of your web page.

I'll fix my OP.

Hang about, you paid for that?

The site, not the splash page. Don't worry, I'm not that clueless about website making.
