Haven't asked for critique on here in YEARS!

Hey guys, hope all is well, I remember years ago when I joined this forum, how much fun it was to share work, forgot that feeling over the years anyhow I'd come back and I would love to get some feedback on our redesigned website, please stop by and share your thoughts

Hey!

First off.....your photography is amazing.

Home page...the large pics are great but makes for a lot of scrolling. Maybe images that automatically rotate in a slideshow type thing or a left/right swipe would work well.

About page: I find centre red text awkward to read.

Do you have Instagram, Facebook? If yes then some social media links somewhere would be good to have.

I like it.

Maybe a "Back to Top" link at the bottom of the gallery?

There's a menu selector that stays at the top of the browser (on iPad/Firefox).
It's just lots of vertical scrolling IMO.

Thank you so much guys! The only other option I could think off other than vertical scrolling would be a slideshow, which I had in my old site and is something that I personally don't like because it can bore me, I feel multiple images on a vertical scroll can keep the viewer interested to keep scrolling, I know that can be annoying to some viewers, but at some point I had to make a choice and decided with this format, I love scrolling through images lol

I'm trying to figure out if I can put a "back to top" link in the bottom footer...that's a good suggestion, thanks! The feedback here has always been appreciated, this is where my love for photography started about 7 years ago

Yeah, I stopped scrolling after two images. I prefer clicking on a navigation arrow over move mouse, click, drag up, unclick, move mouse, click drag up, view image, repeat.

Call me lazy, but you're making me work too hard to view your images.

WAY too much for the first page. After a minute of downloading over low speed DSL I said "Screw it" and closed the tab. Too many, too large - but great pics! (I won't even try to open your site on my Wifi tablet...)
