First Website - C&C Needed!

being a designer I loathe frames, a simple 2 class CSS layout and it would be great, other than the frames I like it.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

One question... why the problem with the top frame? I thought it made navigation easier with all the links on the top (definately made it easier for me not having to put the links on every page!) I know nothing about web design, so I'm interested from a learning standpoint.

And... I forgot that I put my email address on every subject page. I will remove that and just leave the contact me on the home page.

I like everything about your website. It is super easy to navigate, and the images are just awesome! I have very little patience with sites that are cumbersome to navigate. I usually get frustrated and click out after about 10 seconds. Yours is awesome. Really nice job!

i like your site, as a web/graphic designer.. i would recommend either to remove the frame or have the frame boarder set to "0+ (zero), this would give a nice clean look with the frames but without showning the frame.

if your work becomes in demand by others, i would recommend making the main page, with a short description of your passion or work, plus a small/medium sample picture of your best work, this is if only your heading towards that direction.

but if this is just your own personal website for friends and family this will be good, but like it more if frames are hidden but still there. i think a white background looks much better, but once they click on your thumbnails, it can open a new pop-up window with a black background.

here is a sample of what i mean, but do keep up the good work!

Thanks Ferrari and KoiBoy for the feedback.

Koiboy, I like what you did with the main page. Thanks for the tip about the frame border. I'll take some time to revamp it when I have a free afternoon. I really appreciate it.

You have a very good collection of photographs! I liked the navigation, the only thing I would like to suggest is to add next/previous button on the top right of the page as well. If I use it on a smaller screen (like laptop), I always need to scroll down a bit to find the next button.

Great site Becca! Hope all is well and you're staying warm... loved those ice shots

Thanks Kristine! Doing well here, hope you and your family are the same.

I like the home page very much. It was interesting and comfortable to view. It made me want to click around and it was very easy to find things. Great job!

What about a "about me page" or a "equipment page"

At the top, the words Home, Family, Still, etc are all cut in half and I can't see the lower portion.

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I was getting tired of having tons of emails, all from spammers. I finally tracked down a tip my professor gave me when I took my web design course. To stop email harvesters their are ways of
"munging" or cloaking your email address.
For the colon after mailto use : and for the @ symbol use @ and for the period use .
It will still display the same and is still clickable but email harvesters will ignore it.
I've just installed it so I cannot say how effective it is yet.

I have been meaning to do that, but I have no idea what to write. I'll have to visit some other sites and see if I can get some ideas. Thanks!

Hmmm... I wonder if it's a screen resolution thing or something. Looks fine on both of my monitors. I'll have to test it with some different settings. Thanks for the heads up!

I think the codes you entered got converted, but I get what you're saying. I'll do some more research. Thanks!

LOL! I just noticed...
I'll try to word it differently.
For the colon after mailto use & - # - 58 - ; ( without the dashes)
For the @ symbol use & - # - 64 - ;
For the period use & - # - 46 - ;

Lets see if that makes sense now.

Okay, that posted correctly. I'll let you know if it's successful in stopping the 20 to 30 spam mails that I get a day. Even with a spam folder, it's really annoying. I still have to read through them because I've had emails that are legitimate go to my spam.
I wonder if it's too late. I mean once they harvest it, they have the address on record I suppose. Maybe it will just keep new harvesters at bay.
