My website.. still work in progress...

Thanks!

Very cool site, but the loading times were quite slow for me. Showed a black screen on the main page nearly long enough for me to close the window

I like it a lot. Simple and clean and pleasingly presentable. It did take a bit long to load it up, and hovering over the "menu" to get to the submenu took a bit of adjusting.

That's great!

What did you build it with?

it's a pain to turn the music off

the controls are hard to see overlayed on the image so I just closed your site

Goods
*Clean website

Bads
*Slow to load
*Music and couldnt switch it off.

Didn't bother looking at it, couldn't figure out how to switch the music off.

That's the attitude you will get from a lot of people. Putting music on a website is one of the biggest faux pas. If you're going to do it, make sure it's obvious how to disable it and also don't have it streaming when first loading.

Think of it this way if you're in a office looking for a photographer you really don't want sound to start off a round of prairie dogging.

Also the site is Flash... That's going to impact your search engine rankings let alone mobile devices that can't access your site (WinMo and also iPhone). To be honest Flash doesn't give you any brand identity as a lot of other photographers do the same.

As a final note some companies block flash media (and other plug-ins) and a lot of people look at websites during their breaks.

Sorry to be harsh, but this is the reality of what you will face on the web. Flash is a good tool if used in moderation but not for a complete site.

alexa!

I turned the music on.

Alexa is right.. I've been waiting for her!

Thanks everyone for your comments!

I saw a number counting to 100 and then I closed the site after 10 seconds of looking at the number "100."
