Website feedback

I apologise in advance for adding another 'what do you think of my website?' thread but I'd like to know so here goes...

Like many of us on here, Im not a pro photographer but would one day like to be, but for the time being, I'm happy selling some stock photography, a few prints and doing the odd assignment. I just wanted somewhere to showcase my work to potential clients in a more professional way than flickr. I used zenfolio, not the best one out there in terms of customisation but seemed the best all round value.

I know I'll get honest feedback on here so let me know what you think

Looking good Justin. Only comment I really have would be on "About" it looks like there is supposed to be an image but there is not. Maybe its intended to look that way but after looking at your source code I saw a big old empty box on the page and my initial thought was that you forgot the pic!

Thanks Kevin, well done you spotted the er, deliberate mistake! I couldnt find a way to remove the box so I need to take a photo to put there!

Anyone else?

Fix the "hole" in your About page. You have some nice landscape photos!

Thanks, just had a quick look at your site and you have plenty of those too (nice landscape photos that is!)

Found a way to remove the photo placeholder altogether until I take one.

Anymore opinions? Not enough pictures, too many pictures, more info, less info, dull, hard to read etc? I've been messing around with it for so long I'm finding it hard to be impartial!

Hey Justin,

This is just my persional opinion but I think some text on the homepag would be great. Make the big picture smaller and have text down the left-hand side or something?

So then you've got photos for those who are interested and a little bit of text for those wanting a little info without going to your about page.

I 100% agree about this. Too many photographers forget that text is important. I don't want to try and find out where your located and what you do. Besides, it's better for SEO.

Yep, SEO! Can't forget that.

Quick, to-the-point, easy navigation, good representation of your work and available variety. Well-done.
