Come bash my website!

I'm no web designer so I'm not expecting to get rave reviews. I just hope it's not too terrible.

http://www.mtbphoto.ne​t

It is not the most artistic web site I have seen but it is clean, functional, loads quickly (for me). I like the fact that the gallery loads some images (fast) and then has a link to see more.

Don't like the awful selfie on the Contact page and always think it looks unprofessional for businesses to be using a gmail/hotmail address instead of their domain.

Your contact page just allows someone to send you an email. There is nothing on the website that lets someone know anything about your location or your availability. Your photos look good but how would a client know you are available to provide them any services if they can't even tell your location.

The other thing of note is your site's name. Where are the mountain bike photos?

Added: According to your contact page you are Matthew T. Beard. Your name is your name.... The problem is, I checked the meta data on several photos, all of them I checked said they were created by "Jessica Kouns." The fact that the listed creator's name on the photographs is not your name could be a real problem if you ever have any type of problem with someone trying to use your photographs without permission. Also, if there is a way to secure the images with the software you created the website with, you may wish to at least disable right clicking the images. Right now, your images are not protected in any matter whatsoever.

What is the website all about? Showcase your pictures? Attract customers? Selling pictures? Where are you located? India, Alaska, Argentina?
In addition: If I purchase a service over the web and I don't see easily an address and phone number I steer clear.
And yes, loose the selfie - or at least take one when your awake or not high.

Other then that, I do like the presentation of the pictures. For the most part, they have a clear style and the page is clear and simple to navigate.

One last thing: I would loose the comment box on the main page. It completely destroys the visuals of the first page (first impression).

Thanks for the feed back. I was just using my initials as a name for the site but if that has too strong a tie to mountain biking i can change that. The name name on the files is my girlfriend's name who borrowed my camera for a shoot and didn't tell me she had changed the name, I had completely forgotten about the incident and the issue is now corrected going forward. I don't know what the site will become but right now i just wanted a place to send people to look at some of my work. About me and photos of me are not my favorite thing so i know that whole area needs work. Thank you for all the input, complements and critiques.

P.S. except you guy that said my selfie was awful.

Alright I took out the comment box, my Pulitzer Prize winning self portrait and blocked right clicking. I'll start thinking of a new name for the site and work on the contact information. Besides that is there anything I should add? my main concern is the home page which I admit doesn't really give you any reason to look further.

The white background on the home page looks a bit bland. Sadly, I'm not creative enough to offer any ideas.
Would be nice to have an About link that takes visitors to your bio.
The home page is fixed on the red BMW. Maybe a slide show to show case your various types of photography.

I find your photography attractive.

Simple site very easy to navigate but the image on the home page scared me away.


Not professional..........​.it looks cropped where it shouldn't have been. I would use an image that covers the length of the page and make it only a few inches tall. Sort of like a banner but in the middle of the page.

Also sorry but pictures of cats is not art :/

Best of luck....no hard feelings

None taken, I like your cat photos!
