New website, please let me know your thoughts...

Hi

Just finished my website, and am looking for your opinions...

Thanks

Not to bad. Just some random thoughts...

You list your a Portrait and Wedding photographer in your <title> page, but on your home page you list portrait (no caps) and Lifestyle photographer. Be consistent. If your going to list weddings on your <title> page, list it on your home page. If your going to capitalize one, do it to the other.

Your metadata description should include your location(s) as well.

Thanks Mike, good points, I'm still working on the meta data and SEO atm.

I'm viewing on a screen 1280 wide and getting horizontal scrolling on some pages... not good

Also check your packages page on IE9... the text overlays on itself

Site is solid and easy to navigate.

Check spelling/grammar on your landing page...there's a few random capitalisations I spotted.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the style you've used for your 'About Me' speil (not just yours...it's fairly common). To me they are far too flaky and vague and don't really tell me anything about why I should hire you.

Are you sure you screen resolution is 1280 wide?

Just tried 1280x768 with IE9 and not getting any horizontal scrolling...

Yes I am sure (1280x800). I wouldn't have said otherwise

Does anyone else get horizontal scrolling scrolling at that res?

im getting no horizonal scrolling on my moniter at 1280x800 or 1280x768 or x600 etc.

the only thing im not liking about your site btw is the links at the top i think as the text is so thin its making it loose quality it looks blurred/pixelated at the bottom of the r's, I , to the middle of the e and the left ot the t's.

I get text overlay on the pricing page.

Grammar time.
"Them selves" is one word - themselves (2nd paragraph front page).

The paragraph containing 'technically good', seems to compare two types of photographs. One where they are natural and comfortable and one that is technically good. However it seems you want a technically good photo which the client will show their friends.

The last paragraph is run on sentence. 2 options:
1 - Please take a look around. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message and I'll get back to you at the earliest opportunity.
2- Please take a look around, if you have any questions, feel free to send me a message and I'll get back to you at the earliest opportunity.

Which package is right for you section. The sentence below the heading is a run on sentence.

Portfolio. The first "click" should be capitalized or remove the period at the end.

Thanks for that, I struggle with things like grammar.

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is a mix of technically well crafted composition, but also genuine looks and expressions, i.e. I'm trying to capture a glimpse of the real person just feeling good and having a good time (Or not depending on the look we want), as if it was just one of their friends behind the camera.

You should be more explicit about selling that product. Your photos are fantastic but they look more like good stock photography than like traditional hired portraits. If that's what you're selling, say so and be proud of it. It's a great unique thing to sell.

Your wedding special sounds kind of weak. Perhaps you should let engaged couples know whether to expect traditional wedding photos or your artistic version (which I would prefer, personally). Instead of offering a discounted price, you might want to say that you are willing to work within the budget of couples who might appreciate your style of photography.

Like I said, I love your work. But one criticism. Your main page has a great casual portrait facing square into the camera with a picture of you also facing square into the camera. It's a little overwhelming! I'd rather see a photo of you behind your camera, working your magic.

Thanks cacawcacaw, some really good points where I need to try and improve upon.
