After two years I finally got around to an updated website. I'd sure appreciate any comments or critiques.

Thanks,

Lou

I think it's really very good.
I think a little more information about your product could be helpful to potential customers who may stumble across your website by accident.
Just basics like where you are based and what areas you cover as there is no reference to which country you are in etc.

On my Firefox browser, with AdBlock in place (and probably a few other things I've forgotten I put in place to stop ads), the page opened, and sat there, with the music playing and the single opening photo in place. It wouldn't advance, it wouldn't change the image. And it didn't give me an option to advance out of the Flash into the rest of the site. I suspect a lot of people who are running similar systems will get to this page and click right on to somewhere else.

I had to change the text color on the links so that they were more visible. On my monitor they were clear but some people have a variety of resolutions and couldn't see the links. Try it now and see if it is better.

Thanks!

The lighter color is better, but I can only see the tiniest part of the bottom of the links. If I didn't know they were there, I would not have been able to get to the second page. I am on a laptop, but I also tried on my desktop and I still can't see the entire page.

PS..the photos are gorgeous

Well, it's new because it's a different template style than my last one, even though it is from the same company...Big Folio.

And, it's improved because I have a lot of updated images displayed and they are larger than on the other site.

;)

I think you should do yourself a favor and view your website on someone elses laptop, PC or Mac if you can. You will be amazed at what is or what is not visible to all viewers. That is the quickest way to see what us viewers are seeing. Myself, all the thumbnails and the top of website are cut off. I do have other PC, laptop to view but you should see for yourself. Great Photography by the way......

I have changed the site to open with a choice of flash full screen or open in current window. That should fix the problem. Please try it and let me know if it works!

I gave up, windowed or full screen, things were cut off.

In windowed mode, links at the top were cut off and in full screen, everything at the bottom was cut off. This would be a problem for potential clients.
