Well, since it's still under construction why not wait until it's finished? But, since you asked for feedback here's my opinion. While the splash page is clean, I think a splash page is a waste of a click and generally I will click away. Same thing with "please disable any popup blockers".

When I did click enter your site it's not working for me and I'm using FF3...but maybe that's why it's still under construction?

No. It's working... I mean under construction by only having one gallery... Probably is your browser...

About the splash page... I do agree with you... Actually I'm wondering about taking the splash out...

I'm using Firefox 3...you need to fix YOUR website because lots of people use Firefox. ;)

LOL!! I always use pop-up blockers, so that's why I didn't see it. If I were me, I would try and use a website that doesn't force you to disable a pop-up blocker.

That said...I like it! Sorry for the confusion. :oops:

I booted FF3 in the rump and went back to FF2 since FF3 wouldn't even support my favorite plug-ins/add-ons. I don't think FF3 is quite ready for "prime time". I had no problem with the site running FF2.(will detail that in a separate post) If you're running a script blocker that may be the cause of your problem.

I like the lay out of the site, but like somebody else said, lose the splash screen. It's aggravating to go to a site and have to click the stupid "enter here" link. Did you use some sort of Flash template...or rather, what exactly are you using to make that type of site?

As for the pics....just a couple of suggestions. Look into "Noise Ninja". You can find it as a plug-in for Photoshop or as a stand alone that will batch process files. THere may be other noise plug-ins or apps. Noise Ninja is all I use though. While I thought the content of your photos was great, some of them just had waaaaay too much noise to really be acceptable.

Another suggestion is to look more into controlling your White Balance. Maybe it's really just a matter of preference but there were too many "yellow people" for my preference. A hint of Magenta in those photos would go a long way.

Don't mean to be shooting down your stuff because I like your photos and the Flash Interface....just trying to help a little bit by telling you what my eyeballs were seeing.

Very nice, slick site. Great colour scheme too. The only issue I have is on a 1024x768 screen, I get this..


HOSTED PHOTO
please log in to view hosted photos in full size.


Is there any way you can move the gallery up so by default a viewer can see all of the interface? Otherwise I have to scroll up and down to see all the image and links.
Aside from that and the afore mentioned splash screen, perfect! :D

Got rid of splash screen, now when you type fellipedepaula.com you go direct to the main site...

It's a bludomain template, so I don't have too many things to do about the resolution issue :(

Thanks!

No worries. It boils down to me needing a bigger screen, which I do! All the best with it. :D

I really like it, but it seems to bug out on me if i click around to fast. I am using FF2.
It freezes, or the links stop working.

It is a really nice, clean design though...
