Looking for some first impression feedback on my new site.

I went from Flickr to Zenfolio a couple of years ago and really liked having "my own site". Now I've upgraded to a true website and just looking to get some feedback on it. I tried to make it simple and mobile-friendliness was a priority.

Thanks guys

Looking it from a SEO prospective, your <title> should be changed a bit. I would remove your site and the words 'and more!". Nobody is going to search for any of those terms. Since you don't have any text on your home page, it's important to have a good metadata description. I see you're using Yoast's SEO plugin. You just need to add a better description.

Looking at you 'About Me' page. Glad to see you have one....that's the first place I check. Under services, you say 'and much more!', yet I haven't seen any 'more' examples on your site. Sounds to me it says "I'll do anything, just hire me".

I assume your "specialty" is architectural (real estate) looking at you logo. I like it.

Nice and clean. The only thing I find a little weird is the black page when the site loads. I expect to see a logo or a slide show or something.

Not a site designer, but you photos are excellent!

Got it, made some changes. Thanks for the input!

The home page should be a slideshow with titles. You just had a blank page? Menu at the top?

Yep. On Safari.

mobile and/or desktop?

The church photo was bugging me.. I think you should get rid of that branch in the top left of the pic. eye gets drawn to it.

desktop

I just checked with Safari on Windows and the images are showing up. I'll take another look on the Mac later.

Ok they also load on the Mac, it just took a long time for them to show up so perhaps an opportunity for more optimization.

Will do! I didn't notice that!

Interesting... I've done some checking, and testing and it seems that Safari is the only one with issues thus far :/
