I saw photophilephotography on IE and Mozilla. In Mozilla portfolio pics are not showing properly as top pics and last pics are cutting, Also When we click on any image, A thumb image is showing in right side,Instead of large image.
When we view it from IE, Its not showing vertical Scroll bar, due to this, only 9 images are showing (like in Glomour), after that images are cutting half.
Am using 1024*768 resolution.

As the site is also not SE optimized.
I think if you use wordpress, this will develop quickly also wordpress have much gallery plugins with SE optimized.

Just a suggetion, Create a contact us form instead of giving email (with mail to) feature, This will protect you from spamming and that will also convinient for contacting user.

Got the scroll bar issue fixed now - thanks! Would love to do a form but I don't have access to CGI scripts - any suggestions on something that would work?

James I don't know much about front page, but in dreamweaver there is a menu that lets you arrange your AP Elements and your div styles on the page. If Front page has that bring the spry menu bar to the top. Its just like layers in photoshop and then it won't get cut off in your gallery pages.

Excellent! I am using Dreamweaver now, but when I look at the AP elements tab there is nothing listed. I am a COMPLETE novice at Dreamweaver. Bought a "building a website with dreamweaver" book and have taken a crash course in CSS stylesheets and div containers etc. I tried physically relocating the Spry menu script to the top of the HTML page but then it doesn't work at all. I have tried sticking it in the header and just below that and zip. I would love for it to work without having to insert those 2 paragraph markers before the flash viewer to keep from cutting it off. Any ideas or help is VERY Much appreciated!!

James

The site works in Opera apart from the galleries which are clipped at the bottom.

The design whilst it works is a bit plain and your font colour is hard to read (grey on black).

You could do with some spiel for your front page, it's kind of disturbing having a single image there! Also the spiel in contact should really be seperated into about and contact, and I'll second the advice on a contact form.

Final note, think of an alternative navigation scheme for your menu system if a person has JavaScript disabled.

IMHO, its very good although I would recommend the following:

- The default "dark blue" in firefox of the anchor is bad on the black background. You should probably set that to something else. I noticed it on the model's page.

- The color: #868686 for text is probably too close to black on the color wheel I would move it to a different quadrant. Although probably anything other than white is going to be a little distracting.

- The "home" link is extranous, just make your logo on top linked back to the hompage. That's pretty default everywhere, even if you don't get rid of the menu "home" I would still link the logo.

- The box around the Gallery submenu doesn't seem to belong there, but I think the only way to fix it is to add a bottom border to the menu. Not sure about that one. Also as someone else mentioned it to me, the default Spry menu is pretty over used -- come up with a background or something to replace the defaults.

- The contact page seems to be an "about page" rather than a contact page. Maybe separate those out?

Check out this,Its a contact form generator for php,asp and CGI scripts. This will create a contact us form with programming, so when anyone fill that form, that message will mail to you by script.

I just tested its php contact form and that worked fine.

cheers

Great to see photographers taking charge of their online presence! I do a bit of photography for work, but mainly work in support for a uk web hosting company. We are seeing a lot of artist and photography websites being ordered, great to scroll through some of the amazing portfolios.
